Breaking down, and days came longer There's the other class dragons chasing you around Sit around on silver just stream on the smoke Is rising over your thoughts and your tears Watch over you, watch and fall down You knock a boulder all over the ground

I don't wanna live this destiny It goes on endlessly These lies are leading me astray Its too much for me to stay I see you so please stay strong I'll sing you one last song And then I'm gone This love this hate is burning me away In a time of need only

A Merle or a Willie If not for a Django and Jimmie The Django and Jimmie Has Mississippi A young singing brakeman A jazz playing gypsy Might not have been I'm a kid with a guitar Trying to play ?, when they ask

Never wanted anything so bad She got me wishing that she could stay Doesn't even know that I missed my plane Not a single thing I wouldn't trade For a ticket to L.A It was midnight in the middle of JFK Trying to take her mind off the fallin' rain

Can you hear it ring It makes you want to sing You'll live like a king With lots of money and things All we ever want is more A lot more than we had before So take me to the nearest store It's such a beautiful thing, ka-ching! Lots of diamond rings

Here come the rising tide (rising tide) (You can't escape) The streets of persuasion Are plated with gold Your heart's in the right place, But you travel down the wrong road Like so many before you The gates open wide Let's go out tonight

I like to live the love That i sing about in my song My song is a serious matter It reflects what i feel If i say i love you, i mean it `cause in my song Every line is for real Every man or woman Enjoys going home

Still the same tempting voice in my mind Losing grip on it all (losing grip on it all) Carry on through the endless lies 'Cause I can't see a reason why Falling gradually, endlessly the perfect disease Everyone's a winner but you're down on your knees

Never wanted anything so bad She got me wishing that she could stay Doesn't even know that I missed my plane Not a single thing I wouldn't trade For a ticket to L.A It was midnight in the middle of JFK Trying to take her mind off the fallin' rain

Dum, dum, baby, dee-dum-dum Dum, dum, baby, dee-dum-dum, come on now Those good old lovely songs When I sing this song y'all, lord Singing it for my baby She's the only one, can bring me joy That's why, I sing these happy songs, they go Happy song, happy
