Somebody Turned On The Light Lyrics - Arlo Guthrie

I've been to wild Montana 

I went there in a storm 

My boots were Texas leather 

My Levis wet and torn 

I loved it in Montana 

Loved it in the storm 

I think I'm gonna cross that river 

I just might be reborn 

New York, New York, winter, '61 

Takin' me a city ride 

Somebody tall must put out the lights 

'Cause it got real dark outside 

And I never saw the sun till '71 

But I never gave up the fight 

I sure was glad when I saw the dawn 

Somebody, somebody turned on the light 

Somebody turned on the light 

Women, wine and fast red cars 

And I couldn't see to read the signs 

Somebody said "Whose life is this?" 

And I said that it can't be mine 

And I never saw the sun till '71 

But I never gave up the fight 

I sure was glad when I saw the dawn 

Somebody, somebody turned on the light 

Somebody turned on the light 

When the world is wrong better right yourself 

It'll make the dark clouds fly 

Nobody tall can put out the lights 

Just don't let the spirit die 

If you never see the sun till '91 

Don't you ever give up the fight 

Sure be glad when you see the dawn 

Somebody, somebody turns on the light 

Somebody turns on the light
