Listen up and I'll tell you what you'll do
Forget about music and alcohol to
Forget about yer baby, we've got other work for you
Better drink yer glasses empty now, it's time to rise 'n shine
There's one less cause in the world to be leavin' for
It was back in '39 when I was one year old
Sitting by the backyard fence and the world had turned to cold
Drink yer glasses empty now was all that they were told
Drink yer glasses girls and boys, it's time to hit the sky
To the tune of thunder, there's no time to wonder why
We'd love to take life over, that is plain<

make it a time
make it anytime
make sure that it's not the only kind
that others find
I've got a mind
I've got half a mind
To shut down the whole system at the spine
With fishing line
I'm really glad there's a grasp to grab

I wrote the words and the music wrong

I have to hurry hurry that I'm there on time
I walk right up and knock on your door
The landlord says she ain't here no more}
{I ain't never}, oh darling
{A-seen nobody like you}
Boo-hoo but I love you
Yeah I love you
{I love you just the same}
{You tell me sweet things that you don't mean
You got me a-livin' in a honey dream
You make me do things I don't wanna do}

Some twenty days ago I left my family and my home
I buried everything I knew and swam an ocean here to you
Said goodbye to my old friends, for our friendship wouldn't end
But nothing anyone could do could ever bring me back again
And I've got to make it to the river
And I've got to make it to the sea
I need to do whatever it takes to
To be free
A couple nights ago I had a dream I didn't know
The people, places, and the scenes
All of which I'd yet to see
We were running through a field of grass
as high up to the knee
Men on horseback shouting with the
