Watched it coming up WinslowDown South Park BoulevardYeah it was looking good from tail to hoodGreat big fins and painted steelMan it looked just like the BatmobileWith my old man behind the wheelWell you could hardly even see himIn all of that chromeThe man with the plan and the pocket combBut every night it carried him homeAnd I could hear him sayin'...Don't gimme no BuickSon you must take my wordIf there's a God in heavenHe's got a Silver ThunderbirdYou can keep your EldoradosAnd the foreign car's absurdMe I wanna go downIn a Silver ThunderbirdHe got up every morningWhile i was still asleepBut I remember the sound of him shuffling aroundThen right before the crack of dawnI heard him turn the motor onBut when I got up they were goneDown the road in the rain and snowThe man and his machine would goOh the secrets that old car would knowSometimes I hear him sayin'...(Chorus)

Baby I've been searching like everybody else
Can't say nothing different about myself Sometimes I'm an angel And sometimes I'm cruel And when it comes to love I'm just another fool Yes, I'll climb a mountain I'm gonna swim the sea There ain't no act of God girl Could keep you safe from me My arms are reaching out Out across this canyon I'm asking you to be my true companion True companion True companion So don't you dare and try to walk away I've got my heart set on our wedding day I've got this vision of a girl in white Made my decision that it's you allright And when I take your hand I'll watch my heart set sail I'll take my trembling fingers And I'll lift up your veil Then I'll take you home And with wild abandon Make love to you just like a true companion You are my true companion I got a true companion True companion When the years have done irreparable harm I can see us walking slowly arm in arm Just like the couple on the corner do 'Cause girl I will always be in love with you And when I look in your eyes I'll still see that spark Until the shadows fall Until the room grows dark Then when I leave this Earth I'll be with the angels standin' I'll be out there waiting for my true companion Just for my true companion True companion True companion |

Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues In the middle of the pouring rain W.C. Handy -- won't you look down over me Yeah I got a first class ticket But I'm as blue as a boy can be Then I'm walking in Memphis Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale Walking in Memphis But do I really feel the way I feel Saw the ghost of Elvis On Union Avenue Followed him up to the gates of Graceland Then I watched him walk right through Now security they did not see him They just hovered 'round his tomb But there's a pretty little thing Waiting for the King Down in the Jungle Room (Chorus) They've got catfish on the table They've got gospel in the air And Reverend Green be glad to see you When you haven't got a prayer But boy you've got a prayer in Memphis Now Muriel plays piano Every Friday at the Hollywood And they brought me down to see her And they asked me if I would -- Do a little number And I sang with all my might And she said -- "Tell me are you a Christian child?" And I said "Ma'am I am tonight" (Chorus) Put on my blue suede shoes And I boarded the plane Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues In the middle of the pouring rain Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues In the middle of the pouring rain |

Got your call from California
But I could hardly hear your voice Through the hissing of the highway And all that other noise You said "I might lose you in the canyon" Then you went riding up the coast Now all these things we leave unspoken Seem to haunt me like a ghost [Chorus] I lost you in the canyon Guess you tried to let me know Lost you in the canyon A long, long time ago Lost you in the canyon Brother you fade out slow There were times I thought I knew you Before these changes came to pass But you don't think about it do you? From up there in your house of glass The Earth is shifting underneath you The land is sliding all around Do you ever stop to wonder About that paradise you've found? [Chorus] I hear you moving through the mountains Through the fires and the floods But I can't fix this bad connection In the wires or the blood [Chorus] |

My friends will ask me how I'm doin'
But I just can't lie to 'em Not feeling fine today I saw my dreams they were a Ship on the ocean now it Looks like they're miles away Miles away Hey, hey -- they're miles away I know there's always something We have to go through That has some deeper meaning but Right now I just can't say I know there's gonna be a lesson somewhere I'm gonna think a lot about it later But right now I'm miles away Miles away Hey hey I'm miles away Hey hey hey I'm miles away I'm a million miles away Where I don't have to think at all Don't have to listen to you whisper Your little secrets in the hall Yeah I'd really love to talk about it But I think I hear my mama calling me... Miles away |
