Planet Earth Song Lyrics - Young, Guitar Days - Steve Forbert

VERSE 

Down Silver Avenue in rain and mist 

You're lookin' for Easy Street which don't exist 

And count the years, yes, and count the years 

You smash the mirrored walls and you cut your fist 

You can't control yourself, you can't resist 

And shed a tear, oh, yes, and shed a tear 

CHORUS #1 

Gotta love to live 

Gotta wild, old, rambling road, boy 

VERSE 

You've seen the queen of hearts get torn in half 

Beneath the chandelier, the golden calf 

And diamond rings, yes, yes, yes and diamond rings 

You've seen them factories and railroad yards 

And silver moonlit walls with windows barred 

And all these thing, oh, yes, and all these things 

CHORUS #2 

Gotta love to live 

Gotta long, old, winding road, boy 

(INSTRUMENTAL BREAK) 

VERSE 

And back in Baltimore the morning came 

Her face was paradise--you hear her name 

Can't break her spell, oh, no, you can't break her spell 

She's bound for distant lands and she won't be back 

Her voice was soft and sweet, her skin so black 

And fare you well, oh, say well, well, well and fare you well 

CHORUS #3 

Gotta love to live 

Gotta lost, old, lonesome road, boy
