Amelia Mary Earhart (/ˈɛərhɑrt/ AIR-hart; July 24, 1897 – disappeared 1937) was a noted American aviation pioneer and author. Earhart was the first woman to receive the U.S. Distinguished Flying Cross, awarded for becoming the first aviatrix to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. She set many other records, wrote best-selling books about her flying experiences and was instrumental in the formation of The Ninety-Nines, an organization for female pilots. Earhart joined the faculty of the Purdue University aviation department in 1935 as a visiting faculty member to counsel women on careers and help inspire others with her love for aviation. She was also a member of the National Woman's Party, and an early supporter of the Equal Rights Amendment.
During an attempt to make a circumnavigational flight of the globe in 1937 in a Purdue-funded Lockheed Model 10 Electra, Earhart disappeared over the central Pacific Ocean near Howland Island. Fascination with her life, career and disappearance continues to this day.

Everybody tells me you're a woman with the past
Quick to make a promise but your love will never last
They tell me that I'm foolish to think that your love could be fair
But they don't know that I'm too much in love to even care
I'll be satisfied lovin' and losin' you honey if it comes to that
If it comes right down to hurtin' and you'll break this heart of mine
At least I've known the happiness of havin' your love for a time
If it happens that I lose you then I'll have the memory of how you loved me
I'll be yours until it happens and I'm gonna love you all the way
I don't care what comes tomorrow as long as you're all mine today
I'll be satisfied lovin' and losin' you honey if it comes to that
[ ac.guitar ]
Just to see you there cryin' boy brings to mine
All the things I've told you one time
I told you she'd hurt you and leave more regret
And more heartache than you could ever forget
So sit there and cry boy the way that I did one time
And wish you could die boy to get that woman off of your mind
Go on and fall all to pieces boy the way that she made me do
I know what you're goin' through and I feel for you
[ ac.guitar ]
When you took her from me you've thought you'd found
The woman to fill your whole world around
I'd tried to tell you but you wouldn't see
She'd leave you for someone the way she did me
Now sit there and cry boy...
Well girl you're fine on my mind all the time fine on my mind all the time
I never met a woman quite like you and all the sweet things you do
Stay fine on my mind all the time
My papa said someday boy true love's gonna come your way
Someday some woman's gonna love you right out of your mind
You'll lose your appetite it won't be able to sleep at night
For thinkin' bout some woman all the time
Well girl you're fine...
[ ac.guitar ]
Well if papa could just see me Lord I know how tickled he'd be
To know some woman got me talkin' to myself
And it's been like this since it come first time we kissed
I can't seem to think about nothin' else
She's nothin' but a woman just another pretty face
You can't find another girl just to take her place
No use a makin' a fool of yourself you can't find a somebody else
But honey it don't work that way and I'm just kiddin' myself when I say
I'll forget someday cause honey real love it don't work that way
[ ac.guitar ]
It looks mighty good this smile I wear actin' like I just don't care
If anybody mentions yesterday I'll just try to laugh it away
But honey it don't work...
I can walk around puttin' on there tellin' everybody that I don't care
But it's hard to hide the pain inside when a lonely heart is missin' you
And the love that we once knew
Cause I've tried to take the memory of all the love you gave to me
And put it off out of my heart so I can make a brand new start
Save your dreams and all your special hopes and plans for another day another man
And save your love don't give your heart to a man like me
I got a restless soul I long to be free
But if I should ever fall in love then I'd love someone just like you
But I know that I would never be the man to make your dreams come true
Don't think of me as a man that you could have and hold
And teach to love heart and soul
For it can't be this heart of mine is a restless thing and I'll be gone someday
THE BIRD
Writers Hal Coleman, Barry Etrics
Well my throat was dry and I was getting' late
And I was at this bat on the interstate
When this guy with a bird on his shoulder walked in the door
And he proceeded to tell me the strangest thing
He said, “Sir this bird of mine can sing like no other bird
You've never heard before!”
Well I just looked at the guy and said “Oh really?”
And he turned to the bird and said”Do ole Willie”
When that bird started singing I almost hit the floor.
Whiskey River take my mind
Don't let her memory torture me
Whiskey River don't run dry
You're all I got to take care of me
Well if that ain't the durndest thing
I thought, son, what a heck of a thing
A man could get rich making that bird sing
And I could feel this wild idear comin' on strong
I said, “I'm just sittin' here with two weeks pay
And I'd probably blow it all anyway
I'll buy that bird If he'll do one more song.”
Maybe I didn't hold you quite as often as I should have
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
I said, “well that does it sir, yep
I'd like to buy that bird
Would $500.00 take him off your hands?”
Well, he thought for a while and he said, “alright”
He handed me the bird and he said “goodnight”
Counted the money and out the door he ran
I was thinkin' I'd found the rainbow's end
My ship would soon be rolling in
When that bird sailed out the door
And he was gone
And as I watched him leave I got boilin' mad
‘Cause I knew right then that I'd been had
And as he faded in the night he was singing this song
On the road again
I just can't wait to get on the road again (Somebody stop that bird!)
The life I love is making money with my friend
(Ko-ko Joe)
(Ko-ko Joe)
(Ko-ko Joe)
Uhh!
(Ko-ko Joe)
Go ahead home.
(Ko-ko Joe)
Up in Appaloosa county,
There's a place called Ko-ko Ridge.
Sittin' right on the bend,
On the Etowah River
Where the water washed away the bridge.
Cotton Mouth Country.
(Ko-ko Joe)
A river rat's knee high,
(Ko-ko Joe)
Way up around the back border,
Lived a man,
That the river folks talked about.
They said you better stay away from Ko-ko Joe,
'Cause he's cause he's crazy no account.
(Ko-ko Joe)
They called him the Etowah River swamp rat,
The folks despised him.
(Ko-ko Joe)
Ko-ko Joe,
He was an awfully peculiar man.
The river was his only friend.
And the folks didn't understand,
The man called Ko-ko Joe.
(Ko-ko Joe)
(Ko-ko Joe)
He'd eat monkey meat and mashed potatoes.
He drunk a brew called Mo-jo Claw.
That he beat outa roots from old dead stumps,
On the banks of the Etowah.
Made him walk a little funny
(Ko-ko Joe)
Made his breath smell funky.
(Ko-ko Joe)
Well he never come across the river,
'Cause the folks didn't like him in town.
They said his hair was long,
His clothes were dirty,
They didn't want him hangin' around.
They called him the Etowah River rat,
The folks despised him.
(Ko-ko Joe)
Ko-ko Joe,
He was an awfully peculiar man.
The river was his only friend.
And the folks didn't understand,
The man called Ko-ko Joe.
(Ko-ko Joe)
(Ko-ko Joe)
Well it happened a year ago Sunday,
And they still talk about it today,
How the dam broke loose,
On the Etowah River
Nearly washin' everybody away.
The river water rising,
(Ko-ko Joe)
Washin' up all the bushes,
(Ko-ko Joe)
Well the headlines said,
How a mother said, my son woulda lost his life,
But he was pulled from the mud in the Etowah River,
By the man y'all despised.
(Ko-ko Joe)
Ko-ko Joe,
They called him the Etowah River rat,
The folks despised him.
(Ko-ko Joe)
Ko-ko Joe,
So be careful what you say, my friend,
About folks you don't understand.
Someday you might need a man like Ko-ko Joe.
(Ko-ko Joe)
Go ahead home son,
(Ko-ko Joe)
Ko-ko Joe,
They called him the Etowah River rat,
Up in the morning out on the job work like a devil for my pay
That lucky old sun got nothing to do but just roll around heaven all day
Well I fuss with my woman toil with my kids
Sweat till I'm all wrinkled and gray
But that lucky old sun ain't got nothing to do
But just roll around heaven all day
Good Lord above don't you hear I'm pinin' I got teardrops in my eyes
Oh send down the cloud with the silvery linin' lift me to paradise
Now won't you show me the river take me across
Let me wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun give me nothing to do
But just roll around heaven all day
[ guitar ]
Well hello there neighbor how do you do
There's something I'd like to say to you
Now you're from my homeland my sunny homeland
Could it be yeah well alright
Are you from Dixie you're from Dixie
Well this old boy he's from Dixie too
Ha ha listen are you from Dixie I said from Dixie
Where all them fields of cotton Lord beckon to me
Well I say it's be nice to see you baby
And all the friends back home I long to see
Well if you're from Alabama Tennessee or Caroline
Anyplace below that Mason Dixon line
Then you're from Dixie hurray for Dixie
Cause this old boy he's from Dixie too
[ guitar ]
Well if you're from Louisiana Mississippi Alabama Virginia Tennessee or Caroline
Anyplace below that Mason Dixon line
Then you're from Dixie hurray hurray for Dixie
Cause this old boy he's from Dixie too
Teardrops fell on my mama's note when I read the words she wrote
She said we miss you son we love you come on home
Well I didn't have to pack I was wearin' it on my back
And I'm five hundred miles away from home
Away from home away from home cold and tired and all alone
Well I'm five hundred miles away from home
[ guitar ]
I can't remember when I ate I just thumb and walk and wait
I'm still five hundred miles away from home
If my luck had been just right I'd be with them all tonight
But I'm five hundred miles away from home
Away from home away from home...
Well I hear the train a comin' she's gonna rollin' round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
But I'm stuck in Folsom Prison oh the time keeps draggin' on
And that train keep a rollin' on down to San Antone
Well now I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car
I bet they're drinkin' coffee chewin' on big cigars
But I know I had it comin' now I know I can't be free
And that train keep a movin' and Lord that's what tortures me
[ guitar ]
Well when I was just a baby my mama told me son
Always be a good boy don't you mess around with guns
But I shot a man in Reno stood there to watch him die
And when I hear that whistle blowing oh I hang my head and I cry
Well if they freed me from this prison if that railroad train was mine
Bet I'd move it on just a little bit farther down the line
Away from Folsom Prison that's where I want to stay I got to stay now
Someone's gonna get hurt before we're through
Someone's gonna pay for all the things you do
How many will it take? How many hearts have got to break
Just to satisfy you, to satisfy you?
Another love, another fool to play your little game
Another love, another fool, they're all the same
Someone's gonna get hurt before we're through
And don't be surprised, that someone is you, babe
How many will it take? How many hearts have got to break
Just to satisfy you, to satisfy you?
Another love, another fool to play your little game
Another love, another fool, they're all the same
Someone's gonna get hurt before we're through
(I once was a rover on land and on sea
Till a good woman's love made a new man of me)
My life had no meaning it was so incomplete
Till a good woman's love put me back on my feet
Now stead of roamin' I go home in the evening and she's waiting there
And I know that no matter what happens she'll always care
And so when the night falls and the stars shine above
I'm the man with a dream and a good woman's love
[ guitar ]
Now stead of roamin' I go home in the evening and she's waiting there
And I know that no matter what happens I know she'll always care
And so when the night falls and the stars shine above
Well every love has got two sides and a love just cannot live
If one side always takes and never gives
So put yourself here in my place and just think how it would be
If I'd always hurt you like you hurt me
Turn it around in your mind turn it around see what you find
Look at our love from my point of view and see all the hurt I'm a goin' through
Just turn it around in your mind turn it around in your mind
[ guitar ]
Well you know I'll always forgive so you don't care if you're not true
Cause you know I'll swallow all my pride for you
But if you care for me at all then just picture if you can
How one side of our love looks from where I stand
Just turn it around in your mind turn it around see what you find
Look at love from my point of view and see all the hurt I'm going through
Just turn it around...

There is a house in New Orlean
They call the 'rising sun'
And it's been the ruin of many young poor boys
And, God, I know I'm one
My mother ... was a Taylor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans
Oh, mother! Tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your life in a Rock & Roll band
Play in the House of the Rising Sun
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the 'rising sun'
And it's been the ruin of many young poor boys
A misery loves company misery loves company
I just left my home friends where I couldn't sleep
For thinkin' bout a woman that I couldn't keep
She walked out and she left me for somebody else
Now her memory keeps hauntin' me when I'm by myself
So break out the bottle bring on the crowd
Tell funny stories turn the jukebox loud
Come sit at my table where the drinks are on me
Yes gather round me cause misery loves company
Well let me tell you a misery loves company
Misery loves company
Well I'm not the first one that's lost everything
To a false hearted woman with a false hearted scheme
But this is the first time I've suffered myself
Help me get over this love help get over next love all by myself
Now John Hardy was a desperate little man
Strapped on his guns every day
Shot down a man on the West Virginia line
You oughta see John Hardy get away
You oughta see John Hardy get away
He run up to Virginia around the east stone bridge
Thought he would surely be free
And along came a marshall with a gun in his hand
Said Johnny come along with me boy
The judge wants to see you boy come along with me
[ guitar ]
Now John Hardy had himself a little woman
The dress she wore was blue
She hollered on out to Johnny as he rode out of town
Johnny I'll be true to you boy
Johnny I'll be true to you
Well his legend had traveled from the east to the west
From the north to the south end of town
But when the sun comes up tomorrow they'll take John Hardy down
And show him to his hanging ground
They're gonna let John Hardy swing down
Well I was born in the Southland yes I was
Some twenty odd years ago
I ran away from home for the first time
When I was four years old
I'm a freeborn man get my home here on my back yes I have
And I know every inch of highway
Every foot of backroad every mile of rairoad track
I got a gal in in Cincinnati a woman in San Antone
I've always loved the girl next door but anyplace is home
I'm a freeborn man...
[ guitar ]
Well you may not like my appearance you may not like my song
You may not like the way I talk but you'll like the way I'm gone
I'm a freeborn man...
Now the longest train I ever done seen
Was in those Georgia lines
Now that train came by at five o'clock
And the cab came by at nine
In the pines in the pines where the sun never shines
And they shiwered when the cold winds blow
In the pines in the pines where the sun never shines
And they shiwered when the cold winds blow
[ guitar ]
Look down look down that lonesome road
Hang down your little head and cry
Little girl little girl what have I've done
That you should have passed me by
In the pines in the pines where the sun never shines
And they shiwered when the cold winds blow
Now the longest train I ever saw
I went down to St. James Infirmary
I heard my baby groan
And I felt so broken hearted
She used to be my
Used to be my very own
And I tried so hard to keep from crying
My heart felt just like lead
She was all that I had to live for
I just can wish it
Can wish that it was me instead
Now she's gone
She's gone, may God bless her
Wherever she may be
She has searched the whole wide world over
She'll never find
Well it was in the spring one sunny day
When my woman left me and she went away
Oh but now she's gone I don't worry
Cause I'm sittin' up here on top of the world
Mississippi River is deep and wide
That woman I love love is on the other side
Oh but now she's gone gone but I don't worry none
Cause I'm sittin' sittin' on top of the world
Mississippi River is deep and wide...
[ guitar ]
Well it was in the spring one sunny day...
[ banjo ]
I'm sittin' on top of the world sittin' on top of the world
Georgia Georgia the whole night through
Just an old sweet song got Georgia got Georgia on my mind
Georgia Georgia a song of you
It comes soft and clear like moonlight to the pines
Other arms reach out for and me other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see the road leadin' back to you
Georgia Georgia ohthe whole night through
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and proved untrue
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining...
It was on the moonlight night the stars were shining bright
It whispered from on high your love has said goodbye
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining...
[ guitar ]
It was on the moonlight night...
CRUDE OIL BLUES
Writer Jerry Reed
Well now, listen people let me tell you some news
I'll sing a song called the crude oil blues
We're low on heat .n all
We're low on gas
And I'm so cold I'm about to freeze myâ¦..self
We got the crude oil blues
'Cause the winter time sure gets cold to the bottom of my shoes
Well my hands are shakin' and my knees are weak
But it ain't because of love
It's from lack of heat
I'm gonna tell you a story anout this drunk I know
He kept his basement full of homemade brew
But the winter got so bad it screwed up the boy's thinkin'
He got so cold he had to burn all his drinkin'
He's got the crude oil blues
He said the wintertime can sure get cold to the bottom of your shoes
He said, burnin' this booze just destroys my soul
But there's one thing about it honey
When you're cold, you're cold
I've got the crude oil blues
Well, when we made this record there was a little bit of doubt
Whether or not the ting was ever gonna come out
I said, âhey chief, you reckon this record will be released?â
He said, âSon, we ain't got enough oil to keep the pressed greasedâ
We got the crude oil blues
And son, if we can't make records then we don't need you
I said, âwhat am I gonna do if I can't sing and pick?â
He said, âwell just keep yourself warm playin' all them hot licks
We got the crude oil blues.
Oh mama , don't forget to bring in the brass monkey
And remember what Albert Weinstein saidâ¦that coolin' is condusive to cuddlinâ¦
Honey I love ya but pass the duck downâ¦hey I read a sign on the pump at my
Favorite gas station the other dayâ¦
Oh well it's long gone long gone you got my baby and you're long gone
But I'll be hangin' around cause I know you're gonna put her down
Well she'll need someone that's true when she wakes up one day
And find you're long gone long gone
You just wandered into town
You took her and you started messin' around with my baby
You stole her heart cause she ain't used to your kind
With your fancy clothes and uptown style
It didn't take but a little while to get your way
Cause your pretty little lies she couldn't see behind
And so it's long gone...
[ guitar ]
The man in me would like to fight to take you down by the river tonight
And change your way but that would make her hate the side of me
So there's nothing left for me to do a standin' watch by the likes of you
Hurt the girl I love while she's too much in love to even see
Oh yes it's long gone...
Folks sit around with their face in a frown and they gape at the way things they are
They're happy to recieve but they hardly ever want to give
Well neighbor I'm so tired of complaining so in the time remaining
I'm gonna do my best to make the world a better place to live
Yes I'm gonna write a song that the whole wide world can sing
It's gonna be about sunshine and praise every living thing
It's gonna be about love the only thing the world needs a lot more of
Well I'm gonna write a song that the whole wide world can sing
Pick it son
[ guitar ]
Well our fourfathers had only faith in God and they willed to make the nation strong
So the old time religion could help 'em to find a better way
Well we need a liitle more soul saving and a whole lot more flag waving
And there ain't no better time for us to start than today
Singing children
Well now I'm gonna write a song that the whole wide world can sing...
The Ballad Of Gator Mcklusky
Jerry Reed
He was raised in the swamp
In the back of a slough
He grew up eatin' rattlesnake meat
And drinkin' homemade brew
Now folks here about call him Gator
And everybody knows him well
Meanest man ever to hit the swamp
Folks swear he come straight outta hell
Well Gator McKlusky sittin' on a stump
Hammer pulled back on a twelve gauge pump
Watchin' that swamp lookin' out for the law
While he make the best corn liquor you ever saw
(Rock gut whiskey...)
While he's makin' that mash he watches and he looks
Old Gator he knows that swamp like a book
Somethin' out there movin' Gator whaddaya see
Ain't nothin' but the snakes and the gators and me
Everything's okey-dokey in the Okefenokee
That sheriff ain't snoopin' around
So cook that moonshine down
'Til it's good and clear
Everything's okey-dokey in the Okefenokee
That sheriff he'd soon mess around with the devil
Than to get his self long messin' around in here
One day he was cookin' some mash he was almost done
When they spotted the law and they had to run
So he headed for the swamp and they followed him in
But the law might as well been a-chasin' the wind
(Look out for that snake, sheriff...)
Well they chased on back through the muck and the slime
To the back of that swamp where the sun don't shine
But the law won't never catch Gator my friend
'Cause he knows that swamp like the back of his hand
Watch out boys old smokey's in the Okefenokee
The sheriff's out there snoopin' around
So shut that business down
And let's disappear
Look out boys old smokey's in the Okefenokee
But that sheriff he's really gonna catch the devil
If he keeps on snoopin' around in here
(Gator's in the swamp, sheriff...)
(Go get him...)
(If you can...)
(Careful, sheriff...)
Now for my first impersonation friends I would like to do for you
A simple lovin' family man with a simple attitude
See him loved by friends and neighbors see the self-respect he gains
See him warm see him tender watch him change
Now for my next impersonation I'd like to do a restless man
Who now holds wine and night life in his inexperienced hands
See him juggling all the pieces as he tries to grab 'em all
See him tempted see him falter watch him fall
But stick around friends cause the best is yet to come
When you see my impression of a man who's a steady cryin'
Nail chewin' chain smokin' bum
Well friends I see you have seen enough and you're ready to go
So let me hear one rousin' cheer as I close my show
With this portrait of a wasted fool who let his world slip by
See him crawl see him crumble hear him cry
[ guitar ]
But stick around friends cause the best is yet to come...
Well friends I see you have seen enough and you're ready to go...
If I got on my knees and come crawlin' to you little girl
Would you love me once again
Cause I'll do anything to prove that I love you still
And that I'm sorry for the fool I've been
Haven't slept in a month of Sundays and I know one day I'm a gonna lose my sanity
Can't stop dreamin' about you and life without you just don't mean a thing to me
So if I promise to be a good boy and never hurt you anymore
Could things be like they were before
If I promise to be a good boy and be the way you want me to
Could I still have a chance with you
Cause I don't know what made me fool enough to think
That I could live without your love
I must have cried a million tears since our goodbye
Yes and misery fits me like a glove
Let me tell you bout a girl I know she's my baby and she lives next door
Every morning when the sun comes up she puts my coffee in my favorite cup
That's why I know yes I know hallelujah I just love her so
When I'm in trouble and I need a friend I know she'll stick with me untill the end
Everybody asks me how you know I smile at them and say she told me so
That's why I know yes I know hallelujah I just love her so
And when I call her on the telephone say her honey Jerry's all alone
By the time I count from one to four I hear her on my door
In the evening when the sun goes down when there ain't nobody else around
She looks at me and she holds me tight and tells me Jerry everything's all right
That's why I know yes I know hallelujah I just love her so (pick it son)
[ guitar ]
And when I call her...
Where is that tomorrow that placed in time
That day when your memory don't occupy my mind
That mornin' when I wake up with no regrets to find
Oh how many tomorrows will that be how many tomorrows till I'm free
I wonder how long until these heartaches end
Till yesterday's forgotten till the hurtin' wears in
And how much time your mem'ry is there left for me to spin
Oh how many tomorrows will that be how many tomorrows till I'm free
Oh they say that time can break the chains that bind your heart to yesterday
But deep inside of me is the love for you that time will never take away
It's there to stay
So a million tomorrows won't ease all the pain
And every day without you will be more the same
Achin' just to hold you inside these arms again
I'm almost crazy almost crazy
Couldn't go to sleep last night walked the floor until the daylight
Thinkin' how it used to be when you were here with me
And honey I'll live with your memory till I'm almost crazy almost crazy
I've paid a million times for the way I've been so blind
Cause everytime I think of you my heart wants to break in two
And I'm no notning nothing but the blues till I'm almost crazy hmm
I thought I didn't need your love to share hmm
I had to lose you to find out how much I care now I'm almost crazy almost crazy
I see the fool I've been and if I'd get you back again
Well I'm gonna prove to you that my love is really true
Cause honey I've cried and cried for you till I'm almost crazy almost crazy
I once went a courtin';
Down in 'ol Alabama.
I brought along a donkey;
and a slice of salama!
I saw her there a sitting;
in a dirty lawn chair,
And asked her nicely
to watch Yogi Bear.
Gom-yey-on-yo!
Crying all night long;
Gom-yey-onnnnn-yo!!
That's the name of this song.
I once digged me a hole;
down in 'ol Tennesee.
I brought along a pickle;
and a little monkey.
I saw her there a sitting;
on a rusty old chair;
and asked her while crying;
to please sniff my hair!!!
Gom-yey-on-yo!
Crying all night long;
Gom-yey-onnnnn-yo!!
You've been cryin' again you've been cryin' again
That old flame hasn't died it's still signed where it's always been
Will there always be this old memory to keep haunting me
For I see you've been cryin' again
Won't you ever forget won't you ever set his mem'ry free and fall in love with me
Yesterday's gone but you keep hanging on yes it seems he's all that's in your dreams
You've been cryin' again cryin' again
Well yesterday haunt your life this way well it never end
Did you love him so that you just can't let go
Well it must be so for I know you've been cryin' again
I know that it would make you cry to find that I had gone didn't even say foodbye
You'll hate me for a while because I promised love and left you just regret
But I know that I could never be the kind of man that you have in your mind on me
Though you said we must part it would break your heart
But you're young and you'll forget
You're young and I know time will help you find a perfect man who really love you
And not a man like me who's like the wind and must be free
But a man who's worthy of you
For I could never settle down to just one way of life
One woman and one town so sad to part this way but you'll be glad someday
For you're young and you'll forget
[ guitar ]
If you put your mind to it and you try just a little bit
Well I know you could be the biggest fool of the world
You had yourself quite a woman the kind you don't find everyday
And just like a fool son you love her get away
You wouldn't know good thing if it came around
You wouldn't know a good thing if it knocked you down hmm
[ ac.guitar ]
I hate to say that you're a fool but there's gonna come a time when you'll
Curse the day you let her love slip through your hands
Waitin' till you try to find someone to take the place of her
That's when you'll find out son how big a fool you were
Take your left foot;
put it in front of the right.
Now, take your right foot,
put 'er down in front of the left.
Whoooeeee! Son, you are on your way, now;
you is going to take a walk.
Left foot, right.
Right foot, left.
Walk on down to the dry cleaners and pick
up your walkin' pants!
Left foot, right.
Right foot, left.
Walk on down to the post office and buy
some walkin'stamps!
Whooooeeee!
Well, Son;
Sometimes I get that,
Sometimes feelin;
sometimes feelin' like a clown;
Sometime I get that sometimes feelin'
Sometimes going 'round.
I feel just like a rodeo clown;
whose pants keep fallin' down,
and sometimes;
sometimes;
not all the time;
Ich gehe durch die Strassen
Sehe mein Gesicht in den Pfützen auf dem Boden
Es lacht nicht es weint um dich
Ich sitz am Telefon den Hörer in der Hand
Erinner mich an deine Stimme
Doch du sprichst nie nie mehr zu mir
Geh nicht fort so bleib doch
Geh nicht weg und halt mich ganz fest
Ich vermisse dich
Geh nicht fort so bleib doch
Geh nicht weg und halt mich ganz fest
Ich vermisse dich schon jetzt
In jedem Winkel steckt ein Augenblick mit dir
Man sagt die Zeit heilt alle Wunden
Doch du bist und bleibst ein Teil von mir
Geh nicht fort so bleib doch
Geh nicht weg und halt mich ganz fest
Ich vermisse dich
Geh nicht fort so bleib doch
Geh nicht weg und halt mich ganz fest
Ich vermisse dich schon jetzt
Sie tanzt mit dem Wind
Sie schläft unter Sternen
Seit dieser Zeit ist sie bereit
Sie schaut jetzt nach vorn den Blick in der Ferne
Heute beginnt die Ewigkeit
Am Ende der Tage am Anfang der Zeit
Stand sie vor dem Abgrund zum Sprung bereit
Die Welt nur Konturen Angst vor dem was bleibt
Die Stimmen im Kopf sie rufen Einsamkeit
Jetzt steht sie da und freut sich am Leben
Sie lacht und sie tanzt wie ein kleines
Die Zukunft wird die Richtung geben
Ihr Schmerz wagt einen Neubeginn
Sie tanzt mit dem Wind
Sie schläft unter Sternen
Seit dieser Zeit ist sie bereit
Sie schaut jetzt nach vorn
Den Blick in die Ferne
Heute beginnt die Ewigkeit
Sie tanzt mit dem Wind
Sie spürt schon den Morgen
Seit dieser Zeit ist sie bereit
Sie schaut jetzt nach vorn rotz Kummer und Sorgen
Heute
Wir werden uns wohl lange nicht mehr sehn
Jetzt stehst du hier vor mir
Deine Augen voller Tränen
Du ich weiß dass du manchmal mutlos bist
Mein Wunsch ist mein Wunsch für dich ist:
Sei gesegnet wenn du jetzt aufstehst
Sei gesegnet und zur Tür hinausgehst
Möge Sonne dich bescheinen
Und mein Lied soll mit dir sein
Du gehst nicht allein
Ich seh dir in dein strahlendes Gesicht
dass du oft im Stillen kämpfst
Sieht man heute wirklich nicht
Wenn das Licht ausgeht und der Lärm verklingt wünsch ich dir
Dass es in dir weitersingt:
Sei gesegnet wenn du jetzt aufstehst
Sei gesegnet und zur Tür hinausgehst
Möge Sonne dich bescheinen
Und mein Lied soll mit dir sein
Du gehst nicht allein
Du sprichst mit tausend Worten
Und doch verstehst du nicht:
Was ich will ist kein Gerede kein Gedicht
Du lamentierst mit Eifer
Schwärmst vom Milch und Honigland
Und ich ich sehne mich so sehr nach deine Hand
Komm schweig mit mir schweig mit mir
Schweig wenn du kannst
Komm geh mit geh mit mir in weites Land
Ein Wort jagt das nächste die Ohren dröhnen längst
Merkst du nicht wie du die Stille kühl verdrängst
Hören scheint ein Fremdwort
Ich denk gelegentlich sag wovor wovor fürchtest du dich eigentlich
Komm schweig mit mir schweig mit mir
Schweig wenn du kannst
Komm geh mit geh mit mir in weites Land
Oh oh oh oh oh
Komm Land
Das Dröhnen und Lärmen versandet
Und endlich bricht Stille sich Bahn
Ich frage mich wie schon seit langem
wo ich dich finden kann
Mein Blick wandert über die Felder
Ein Kind hält den Drachen im Zaum
Ich denk leis an vergangene Tage
Hör deine Stimme kaum
Öffne die Augen öffne die Ohrn
Öffne die Augen nichts geht verlor'n
Ich glaube nur das was ich sehe
Hat mir mein Verstand weisgemacht
Doch mein Herz sieht als einziger Zeuge
Noch in der finstersten Nacht
Öffne die Augen öffne die Ohrn
Öffne die Augen nichts geht verlor'n
Ich lehn mich zurück heb die Augen gen Himmel gen Unendlichkeit
Und der Schleier fällt lautlos zu Boden
wo er liegen bleibt
Öffne die Augen öffne die Ohrn
Öffne die Augen nichts geht verlor'n
Manchmal wenn ich mutlos bin tief getroffen und geschlagen
Wenn alles schwarz und dunkel scheint
Der Kopf mir schwer wird voll von Fragen
Dann bist du der der mich ganz sanft
und liebevoll berührt
Und meinen Blick vom finstern Tal
hinauf zum Himmel führt
Es geht weiter vor uns liegt ein langer Weg
Kein Verzweifeln weil es mit dir weitergeht
Wenn ich unzufrieden bin fliehe ich an andre Orte
Suche nach dem großen Glück
Hör auf and'rer Leute Worte
Dann rufst du mich zurück zu dir
Wrinnerst mich daran dass ich mir doch mein Leben nur mit dir denken kann
Es geht weiter vor uns liegt ein langer Weg
Kein Verzweifeln weil es mit dir weitergeht
Es geht weiter immer wieder steil bergauf
Ich bin glücklich 'du und ich' hört niemals auf
Wir kennen und Jahre gemeinsam gebaut
Wsa haben wir nicht philosophiert
Pläne durchdiskutiert
Dann dein Entschluss:
Der Wind hat sich gedreht
sieh ein dass ich hier abzweigen muss
Und Seite an Seite wahre Wunder erlebt
In schwerer Zeit den Halt nie verlorn
Gemeinsam vertraut aufgeschaut
Der Wind hat sich gedreht du hast auf andre Werte gebaut
Du fehlst mir du fehlst mir
Ich halt deine Hand wenn du willst wenn du willst
Auf der Reise ins Licht
Wenn du willst
Heb deinen Blick
Besser ein Schritt vor als zwei zurück
Du bist auf der Straße weit weg von Zuhaus
Und jeder Schritt ein Stich in mein Herz
wird zu einem Gebet
Es tut so weh
Der Wind treibt mir tränen ins Auge wenn ich dich so seh
Du fehlst mir du fehlst mir
Ich halt deine Hand wenn du willst wenn du willst
Auf der Reise ins Licht wenn du willst
Heb dein Blick
Besser ein Schritt voraus als zwei zurück
Besser ein Schritt vor als zwei zurück
Heb dein Blick
Heute hört die Welt auf sich zu dreh'n
Und alles um mich hält den Atem an
Nie zuvor hab ich dich so nah bei mir gewusst
Nie waren meine Zweifel kleiner war mein Bild von dir so klar
In all den Jahren habe ich versucht dir ganz nah zu sein und dich zu sehn
Wollte dich haargenau begreifen und versteh'n
Konnte die Fragen nicht ertragen und so manche Unklarheit
Doch jetzt bin ich bei dir
Und mein Herz sieht was es nie zuvor sah
Du lächelst mich an
Sehnsucht erfüllt in deinem Arm bei dir
Ich war verklärt von ehrgeizigen Theorien
Zu einem guten aber fernen Ziel zu zieh'n
Vor lauter Eifer habe ich wohl übersehn
Dass du nicht in der Ferne wartest dass du immer nahe bist
Doch jetzt bin ich bei dir
Und mein Herz sieht was es nie zuvor sah
Du lächelst mich an
Sehnsucht erfüllt in deinem Arm bei dir
So viel über dich geredet
Ich wusste nicht
Dass du dich so sehr nach meinem Herzen verzehrst
Doch jetzt bin ich bei dir
Und mein Herz sieht was es nie zuvor sah
Du lächelst mich an
Sehnsucht erfüllt in deinem Arm bei dir
Tausendmal schon stumme Schreie ausgesandt
Belächelt und verlacht beliebt und doch allein
Eingesperrt im eigenen Gefängnis
Der Schlüssel ging verlorn wo mag er sein
Doch dann seh ich dich vor mir wie du leis' zu mir sprichst:
Ein Leben ohne Dunkelheit ist ein Leben ohne Licht
Du hast mir Flügel geschenkt
Abgehoben losgeflogen
Hast meinen Weg gelenkt du hast mir Flügel geschenkt
Meine Verzweiflung wuchs mit der Dunkelheit
Geschrien und gefleht gebettelt und gweint
Glaubste fast du würdest mich nicht hörn
Die Mauern meterdich wie solltes du da bei mir sein
Doch dann seh ich dich vor mir
Wie du leis' zu mir sprichst:
Ein Leben ohne Dunkelheit ist ein Leben ohne Licht
Du hast mir Flügel geschenkt
Abgehoben losgeflogen
Hast meinen Weg gelenkt du hast mir Flügel geschenkt
Du musst fliehen schreit die Stimme in mir
Wie ein Vogel so schnell wie der Wind
Nur fort von hier
Ich komm nach Haus
Ich komm nach Haus
Ich seh dich
Ich spür dich auf ewig
Ich weiß du bist zu jeder Zeit nicht gegen
sondern für mich
Ich seh dich
Nehm die Beine in die Hände zu dir
Fast schon fliege ich wirklich
Nur schnell zu dir
Ich komm nach Haus
Ich komm nach Haus
Ich seh dich
Ich spür ich auf ewig
Ich weiß du bist zu jeder Zeit nicht gegen
sondern für mich
Ich seh dich
Ich seh dich
Ich spür dich auf ewig
Ich weiß du bist zu jeder Zeit nicht gegen
sondern für mich
Ich seh dich
Ich spür dich auf ewig
Ich weiß du bist zu jeder Zeit nicht gegen sondern für mich
Ob meine Stimme zu dir durchdringt weiß ich nicht.
Ob irgendetwas an dich rankommt. Siehst du mich?
Du wurdest in ein neues Bild von dir gezwängt.
Hast du dein eigentliches Selbst den inzwischen verdrängt?
Hegt sich nicht ab und zu tief in dir ein Gefühl.
Wiegt dir die Maske den auf Dauer nicht zuviel?
Du zeigst mir Überstolz das du ein andrer bist.
Ich stelle fest das ich dich, wie du warst, furchtbar vermiss.
Kannst du dich sehen? Verstecken nützt nichts.
Komm raus und stell dich!
Ich will dich tanzen sehn. Und nicht nur blindlings taumeln.
Dich verstehn. Doch du ziehst dich immer weiter zurück.
In dich hinein und dein Glücksstern fällt.
Mit jedem Tag verschwindest du ein bisschen mehr.
Willst du das denn, fühlst du dich innerlich so leer?
Fang endlich an dich so wie du bist zu akzeptiern.
Du gibst dich viel zu leicht auf, lass mich dich nicht verliern.
Setz dem ein Ende du bist geliebt,
und du bist schön wie du bist!
Ich will dich tanzen sehn. Und nicht nur blindlings taumeln.
Dich verstehn. Doch du ziehst dich immer weiter zurück.
In Dich hinein und dein Glücksstern fällt.
Ich will dich tanzen sehn. Und nicht nur blindlings taumeln.
Dich verstehn. Doch du ziehst dich immer weiter zurück.
In Dich hinein und dein Glücksstern fällt.
Ins Bodenlose.
Ich will dich tanzen sehn. Und nicht nur blindlings taumeln.
Dich verstehn. Doch du ziehst dich immer weiter zurück.
In Dich hinein und dein Glücksstern fällt.
Ich will dich tanzen sehn (3x)
Und dein Glücksstern fällt ins Bodenlose
