Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City. And I dreamed about those cottonfields back home. I dreamed about my mama, dear old papa, sister and brother.
Why settle when it comes to love. You cant make more than whats barely enough. And why did I cheat myself. By lyin to my heart that theres no one else.
I got walls around my soul,. Walls around my heart,. Walls around these walls,. I've built a prison in the dark.. . A fortress full of trouble,. It's a monument of pride,.
Lyin' on a hillside. All alone in the twilight. Watchin' the stars pop out. Feelin kinda small right now. Contemplatin' all that space. All the planets in their place.
You know everyday I walk down memory lane. Trying to find a way past the same old pain. Ah but now the message is loud and it's clear. You know there ain't no way to get there from here.
Flowers. You dont have to bring me flowers. Oh but that would be nice. And hours mm. We dont have to talk for hours. But sharing how you really feel. That would be alright.
Well, I see the world thru an unusual lens. A little nutty if you ask my friends. I probably bought my shrink a Mercedes Benz. But its paying off now.
Old man bristlecone, please hear my plea:. Draw from your wealth of knowledge from the last ten centuries. Help me to tell my brothers and my sisters too.
Por culpa de una noche enamorada, hierba mojada.. Por solo una caricia inesperada, nos amamos hasta enloquecer.. . Por culpa de una noche enamorada, sombras, calma..
I could tell you yes and I could tell you no. I could tell you anything but you don't want to know. And I wonder, yes I wonder, where you're going. You're looking kind of nervous, you don't think it's showing.
Come on and sing girls, sing boys. Sing a happy song. Come on and sing girls, sing boys. This old world may not last long. . Most everybody doing too much fighting.
What are these things you're saying, try and make me to believe. You say that you love me, now you say you're gonna leave. Where do you go at night?. Do you treat him right?.
Well I said, he had a lot of potential. He was only misunderstood. You know, he didnt really mean to treat me so bad. He wanted to be good. . And I swore one day I would tame him.
I don't want no mustard. I don't want no fries. Just give me a hamburger. And look me in the eyes. I don't want no onion rings. No, I don't want a shake.
Sweet Abilena looks out at the midwestern sky. Sweet seventeen with a faraway look in her eyes. . She said, "I feel like a bird in a cage. Come September Im flying away".
I wake up in the morning and the sun is shining bright. Wondering what's become of you from morning until night. Oh now, baby what's going on. Try to tell your woman but it takes too long.
Sera dificil de comprender. Que apesar de estaray aqu. Soy del pueblo y jamas lo podre olvidar. Debis crerme, mis lujos. Son solamente un disfraz. Un juego burgus, nada mas.
If I told you in a simple way. We can't last forever, would it be okay. And would you love me, here anyway. Keep the fire burning till the light of day.
