Mama take this badge from me. I can't use it anymore. It's getting dark too dark to see. And I'm feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door. . Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door.
Come you masters of war, you that build all the guns. You that build the death place, you that build all the guns. You that hide behind walls, you that hide behind desks.
On a night like this. So glad you came around. Hold on to me so tight. And heat up some coffee grounds. . We got much to talk about. And much to reminisce.
When the rain is blowing in your face. And the whole world is on your case. I could offer you a warm embrace. To make you feel my love. . When the evening shadows and the stars appear.
Johnny's in the basement mixing up the medicine. I'm on the pavement thinking about the goverment. The man in the trench coat, badge out, laid off,. Says he's got a bad cough: wants to get it paid off.
Ring them bells, ye heathen. From the city that dreams,. Ring them bells from the sanctuaries. Cross the valleys and streams,. For they're deep and they're wide.
Well, I'm standin' on the highway. Tryin' to bum a ride, tryin' to bum a ride,. Tryin' to bum a ride.. Well, I'm standin' on the highway. Tryin' to bum a ride, tryin' to bum a ride,.
Senor, senor, can you tell me where we're headin'?. Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?. Seem like I been down this way before.. Is there any truth in that, senor?.
Early in the mornin', early in the mornin'. I'm callin' you to, I'm callin' you to please come home. Yes, I guess I could make it without you. If I just didn't feel so all alone.
I pounded on a farmhouse. Lookin' for a place to stay.. I was mighty, mighty tired,. I had gone a long, long way.. I said, "Hey, hey, in there,. Is there anybody home?".
May god bless and keep you always. May your wishes all come true. May you always do for others. And let others do for you. . May you build a ladder to the stars.
Down over the window. comes the dazzling sunlit rays. through the back alleys - through the blinds. another one of them endless days. Honeybees are buzzin'.
Well, i had to go down and see a guy named mr. goldsmith. a nasty, dirty, double-crossin', back-stabbin' phony i didn't wanna have to be dealin' with.
Well, I was feelin' sad and feelin' blue, I didn't know what in the world I was gonna do, Them Communists they wus comin' around, They wus in the air, They wus on the ground..
My parents raised me tenderly,. i was their only son.. my mind got mixed with ramblin'. when i was all so young,. and i left my home the first time. when i was twelve and one..
Come gather around people, wherever you roam. And admit that the waters around you have grown. And accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone.
Oh it's fare thee well my darlin' true,. i'm leavin' in the first hour of the morn.. i'm bound off for the bay of mexico. or maybe the coast of californ..
Clouds so swift. Rain won't lift. Gate won't close. Railings froze. Get your mind off wintertime. You ain't goin' nowhere. Whoo-ee! Ride me high. Tomorrow's the day.
Love that's pure hopes all things. Believes all things, won't pull no strings. Won't sneak up into your room, tall, dark and handsome. Capture your soul and hold it for ransom.
If your mem'ry serves you well,. We were goin' to meet again and wait,. So I'm goin' to unpack all my things. And sit before it gets too late.. No man alive will come to you.
