- By The Time I Get To Phoenix -


By the time I get to Phoenix
She'll be rising
She'll find the note I left hangin'
On her door

She'll laugh when she reads the part
That says I'm leavin'
'Cause I've left that girl
So many times before

By the time I make Albuquerque
She'll be working
She'll prob'ly stop at lunch
And give me a call

But she'll just hear that phone
Keep on ringin'
Off the wall that's all

By the time I make Oklahoma
She'll be sleepin'
She'll turn softly and call my name out loud

And she'll cry just to think
I'd really leave her
Tho' time and time I try to tell her so
She just didn't know I would really go

Are you going to scarbough fair
parsley sage rosemary and thyme
renmember me to one who lives there
who once was a true love of mine.

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
parsley sage rosemary and thyme
without no seems nor needlework
then she'll be a true love mine.

Tell him find me an acre of land
parsley sage rosemary and thyme
between the salt water and the sea strand
then he'll be a true love mine.

Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather
parsley sage rosemary and thyme
and gather it all in a bunch of heather
then he(she) will be a true love mine.

Are you going to scarbough fair
parsley sage rosemary and thyme
renmember me to one who lives there
who once was a true love of mine.

Southern nights
Have you ever felt a Southern night
Free as a breeze, not to mention the trees
Whistling tunes that you know and love so

Southern nights
Just as good even when you close your eyes
I apologize to anyone who can truly say
That he has found a better way

Southern skies
Have you ever noticed Southern skies
It's precious beauty lies just beyond the eye
It goes running through your soul
Like the stories of old

Old man, he and his dog
They walk the old land
Every flower touched his cold hand
As he slowly walked by
Weeping willows would cry for joy, joy

Feel so good, feel so good, it's frightening
Wish I could stop this world from fighting
La da da da da........

Mysteries like this and
Many others in the trees
Blow in the night in the Southern skies

Southern nights
They feel so good, it's frightening
Wish I could stop this world from fighting
La da da da da........

♡ (Prelude) ♡ 0046
Amazing grace,
how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost,
but now I'm found.
I was blind,
but now I see.

Through many dangers,
Toils and snares
We have already came.
Those grace have brought us
Safely that far
And Grace will lead us home.

♬ with chorus ♬ ( start )
When we've been there**
Ten thousand years.
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days
To sing God's praise.
Noever when we've first begun.

Amazing Grace
how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost
But now I'm found,
I was blind,
But now, I see~.

Amazing Grace
how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost
But now I'm found,
I was blind,
But now, I see.** ♬ with chorus ♬ ( end )

I am a lineman for the county
And I drive the main roads
Searching in the sun for another overload
I hear you singing in the wires
I can hear you through the whine
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line

I know I need a small vacation
But it don't look like rain
And if it snows that stretch down south won't ever stand the strain
And I need you more than want you
And I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line

And I need you more than want you
And I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go

To right the unrightable wrong
To love, pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into hell
For the heavenly cause

And I know
If I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To fight the unbeatable foe
To reach the unreachable star

Someone's gonna get hurt before you're through
Someone's gonna pay for the things you do
How many hearts will break how many will it take
Just to satisfy you just to satisfy you
Another love another fool to play your game
Another love another fool they're all the same
Someone's gonna get hurt before you're through
Now don't be surprised if that someone is you
You're gonna find when it's too late a heart that just won't break
Just to satisfy you just to satisfy you

You're gonna find when it's too late a heart that just won't break
Just to satisfy you oh just to satisfy you
What does it take to satisfy you just to satisfy you

Well he can't be more than seventy
She's not a day over sixty-five
But they'd returned to a plane in forty-three
And their fire's still burning bright

They'll be found holdin' hands at the picture show
Lookin' just like Juliet and Romeo
The sad song won't steal the beat away
They got a special kind of love that's here to stay

See the romance on the port of sea
Auburn hair grew a silver linin'
There's something in their eyes
You just don't see these days

I wanna love somebody like that, I wanna hold on forever-er
Two heart's become one with a love like that
I wanna love somebody like that
I wanna love somebody, yeah-eah-eah

I was head over heels in junior high
And it lasted a week or two
When my heart was destroyed I cried and cried
'Til I found me somebody new

Life without a real love is tragedy
That's why I'm gonna find a love that's right for me
I've gotta look beyond what my eyes can see
Until my dreams are reality

There's gotta be more to fallin' in love
Than fallin' away when the stayin' gets tough
I want my love to be young when I'm old and grey

I wanna love somebody like that, I wanna hold on forever
Two heart's become one with a love like that
I wanna love somebody like that
I wanna love somebody, yeah-eah-eah

I wanna love somebody like that, I wanna hold on forever-er
Two heart's become one with a love like that
I wanna love somebody like that
I wanna love somebody
I wanna love somebody like that

I've been walking these streets so long
Singing the same old song
I know every crack on these dirty sidewalks of Broadway
Where hustle is the name of the game
And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain
There's been a load of comprimising
On the road to my hori zon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shining on me

*Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding our on a horse in a star spangled rodeo
Rhinestone cowboy getting cards and lettters from people
I don't even know
Offers coming over the phone.

Well, I really don't mind the rain
And a smile can hide the pain
But you're down when you're riding a train
That's taking the long way
But I dream of the things I'll do
With a subway token and a dollar
Tucked inside my shoe
There's been a load of compromsing
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shining on me

* Repeat

If not for you babe I couldn't even find the door and I couldn't even see the floor
I'd be sad and blue if not for you
If not for you all night you'd see me wide awake Lord that surely have to break
But it would not be new if not for you
If not for you my sky would fall and rain would gather too
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all I'd be lost if not for you
If not for you winter would have no spring I couldn't hear the robin sing
I just wouldn't have a clue if not for you
[ guitar ]
If not for you my sky would fall...

The road is long, with many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where, who knows where
But I'm strong, strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy - he's my brother

So on we go, his welfare is my concern
No burden is he to bare, we'll get there
For I know he would not encumber me
He ain't heavy - he's my brother

If I'm laden at all, I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart isn't filled with gladness of love for one another
It's a long long road from which there is no return
While we're on our way to there, why not share
And the load, it doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy - he's my brother
He ain't heavy - he's my brother, he's my brother, he's my brother

Galveston, oh Galveston
I still hear your sea winds blowing
I still see her dark eyes glowing
She was 21
When I left Galveston

Galveston, oh Galveston
I still hear your sea waves crashing
While I watch the cannons flashing
I clean my gun
And dream of Galveston

I still see her standing by the water
Standing there looking out to sea
And is she waiting there for me?
On the beach where we used to run

Galveston, oh Galveston
I am so afraid of dying
Before I dry the tears she's crying
Before I watch your sea birds flying in the sun
At Galveston, at Galveston

Bows and flows of angel hair, and ice cream castles in the air
Feathered canyons everywhere, I've looked at clouds that way
Now they only block the sun, they rain and snow on everyone
So many things I could have done, but clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds from both sides now from up and down and still somehow
It's cloud's illusion I recall, I really don't know clouds at all
Moons and Junes and farris wheels. The dizzy dancing way you feel
When every fairytale comes real. I've looked at love that way
Now that's just another show we've been laughing when you go
If you care don't let them know don't give yourself away
I've looked at love from both sides now from give and take and still somehow
It's love's illusion I recall I really don't know love at all
Tears and fears and feeling proud say I love you right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds I'd look at life that way
Now old friends are acting strange. They shake their heads they say I've changed
But something's lost and something's gained in living every day
I've looked at life from both sides now from win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusion I recall. I really don't know life at all

It's knowing that your door is always open
And your path is free to walk
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch
And it's knowing I'm not shackled
By forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains that are dried upon some line
That keeps you in the backroads
By the rivers of my memory
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind

It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy
Planted on their columns now that bind me
Or something that somebody said
Because they thought we fit together walking
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing
Or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track and find
That you're moving on the backroads
By the rivers of my memory
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind

Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
And the junkyards and the highways come between us
And some other woman's cryin' to her mother
'Cause she turned and I was gone
I still might run in silence tears of joy might stain my face
And the summer sun might burn me 'til I'm blind
But not to where I cannot see you walkin' on the backroads
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind

I dip my cup of soup back from a gurglin'
Cracklin' caldron in some train yard
My beard a rustling, cold towel, and
A dirty hat pulled low across my face
Through cupped hands 'round the tin can
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find
That you're waiting from the backroads
By the rivers of my memories
Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind

Here's to the people who gave me life
And then showed me how to live it
And taught me that you measure love
By how freely you can give it

And the gift I give to you
Is the lesson that I learned
That when a love is true
It has nothing in return

Unconditional love, that they gave to me
It wasn't mine to keep and I knew someday
I'd hand it down to you and hope that I can be
The one who makes you see
The importance of unconditional love

And there were times I know I let them down
But never once was I rejected
And when I stood alone to face this world
Somehow I still felt protected

That's the common bond we share
And it will last through the years
And you can trust that I'll be there
Through the good times and the tears

Unconditional love, like they gave to me
It's not yours to keep and I know someday
Someone will look to you and you will have to be
The one who makes him see
The importance of unconditional love

Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watchin' the ships roll in
Then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Just sittin on the dock of the bay
Wastin' ti-hi-hi-hi-hime

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
I have nothing to live for
Look like nothings gonna come my way, yeah

So I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Yes I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' ti-hi-hi-hi-hime

Look like nothin's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So, I guess I'll remain the same

Sittin' hear resting my bones
And this lonliness won't leave me alone, yeah
But two thousand miles I roam,
Just to make this dock my home, yeah

Now I'm sittin' at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away, yeah
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wasting ti-hi-hi-hi-hime

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill he sounds too blue to fly
That midnight train is whining low I'm so lonesome I could cry
Did you ever see a night so long when time goes crawling by
The moon just went behind a cloud to hide its face and cry
Did you ever see a robin weep when leaves began to die
It means he's lost the will to live I'm so lonesome I could cry
The silence of a falling star lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome I could cry
