by Tom Paxton. . Oh the price of gold is rising out of sight. And the dollar is in sorry shape tonight. What the dollar used to get us now won't buy a head of lettuce.
It's okay if you're alright. It's good to be here with you tonight. Dressed in moonlight and faded jeans. . It ain't no mystery, all it means is. I can't believe I'll be with you tonight.
words and music by Arlo Guthrie. . Remember back when I was born. High up in the sky. Looking down upon the scene. I can't recall just why. A white love light come up to me.
I ride an old paint, I lead an old dan. I'm goin' to Montana to throw the hooligan. They feed in the coulees, they water in the draw. Their tails are all matted, their backs are all raw.
words and music by Arlo Guthrie. . I could be singing forever. I guess you could say I'm in love. The universe is getting together. You know that I can't say it enough.
Intro:. "I ain't get taught. She talkin' bout my shoestring in my hair, whatever.". . I need a pencil. I need a pencil ma dawg. I need a pencil so I can write on this scan-tron.
In the town of the street. where I keep a parking place for me to sleep. I wake up look around. Somethings changed and somethings frayed the city sound.
I walk with a swagga and a bad attitude. I'm lookin like a rockstar from my head to my shoes. This place about to lose it, won't know what to do. . cause.....
Whatever happened to the funky race?. A generation lost in pace,. Wasn't life supposed to be more than this?. In this kiss I'll change your bore for my bliss..
RAIN ON MY DOORSTEP. I GOT YOU ON THE LINE. THERE'S SOMETHING MISSING. THAT MONEY CAN'T BUY. WEIGHT ON MY SHOULDER. WHY WOULD YOU LEAVE. I THOUGHT WE WERE SPECIAL.
Sidelined we are sailing. Beside our fears we are living. Can you hear this monster growing inside your head?. . I won't lead the mass disorder before i get the control of minds.
Its an instinct that will drive you crazy. Likely make you wanna run. And hold on at the same time. Its a lookout, over a valley of gold. An emotion, that you dont wanna know.
In films that you can't wait to see. In clothes that you thought you had cleaned. In dreams that you're soon gonna dream. I'll be there. . On records you're dying to buy.
I haven't heard from you since, well I can't even recall your face. Isn't it sad to think that, our younger years have been replaced by. Responsibilities and life's little intricacies.
In a room draped in blue. i am thinkin of you. i am tired. and i cant sleep. and for you i will weep. in a flash you are gone. yet around me life is calm.
Too young, as a girl, with a boy to be won. I solemnly devote myself to thee. I'm sorry, but it's true. True is shameful and vile. So I'm not real and I won't call you.
I can never get her off my mind. The more I'm around her I realize. I always happier when I'm with her. I wish that she could know. . I would do anything.
There really was something. I was going to ask her. But when I saw her. my mind went blank. . I try to talk to her. but no sound ever comes out. When she's around me.
