Gonna sing it like a song, sing it mountain high Gonna sing it river flow I've been thinking 'bout it in my thoughts alone
When I hear that voice it's like soup to the hungry Wanna be the teacher, gonna be the kid I'm gonna get inside Find out where it's hid
'Cause, baby this is it babe We're on the miracle mile Trying to give it up and do it with a smile 'Cause, I'm not alone and I'm not giving in Till I find out where this miracle begins
Some days I get so mad, still I get out of bed Put my shoes on and push on ahead l look for something good to say
Gone are the days that I'm surprised or bewildered By what they're calling quality Most of it sounds like bullshit to me
Someday is here and tomorrow never comes
'Cause, this is it baby We're on the miracle mile Trying to give it up and do it with a smile 'Cause, I'm not alone and I'm not giving in Till I find out where this miracle begins
Throw your old skin to the curb Go and get a match It's time to light it up and let it burn, oh yeah now
Bet you got a woman to keep you warm Don't mind me, I'm over here trying not to do anything wrong My enthusiasm tends to come on too strong
Everybody's shakin' it for the camera Yeah, you're beautiful but isn't there anything else to say uh Like how does it feel now?
'Cause, this is it baby We're on the miracle mile Trying to give it up and do it with a smile 'Cause, I'm not alone and I'm not giving in Till I find out where this miracle begins
Oh, we're on the miracle We're on the miracle mile We're on the miracle We're on the miracle mile We're on the miracle We're on the miracle mile
Now that I know what I know, I know I'll always love you Now that I see what I see I see it will always be Now that I got what I got I know I had it all along
Midweek morning time I wake up next to you With your head on my pillow and your arms around me, Oh baby it's so warm And I've looked all around Seeing nothin but big mouths with something to prove Never come close to havin anything on your No baby not even close Still I lay here thinking about the way I thought it would be But all my planning aside
Now that I know what I know, I know I'll always love you Now that I see what I see, I see it will always be Now that I got what I got, I know I had it all along
And I'll be your ground if you'll be my muse I can tie on to You follow me and I'll follow you Yes I'll follow you Still I lay here thinking 'bout the way I used to be And man baby with you I've come a long way
Now that I know what I know, I know I'll always love you Now that I see what I see I see it will always be Now that I got what I got I know I had it all along
And it's all a trick till you figure it out I couldn't hear myself thinking till I started to shout
Now that I know what I know, I know I'll always love you Now that I see what I see I see it will always be Now that I got what I got I know I had it all along
Now that I know what I know, I know I'll always love you Now that I see what I see I see it will always be Now that I got what I got I know I had it all along
When I die and lay me down Cast my body to the sea But bury my heart on the Jersey Shore And every time you think of me
Know my mother was a beauty queen My father tended a bar And they made me beneath Leo's rising star With Elvis on the radio singing 'Love Me Tender, Love Me True'
Bury my heart on the Jersey Shore Bury my heart Bury my heart no matter where I run Bury my heart
Soon as I could walk I ran Stayed about as still as sand When I stopped and turned around Said, ?Man, oh, man, how far I've come Look at all these things I've done Now you know I just wanna go home?
Bury my heart on the Jersey Shore Bury my heart Bury my heart no matter where I run Bury my heart
I never have stood still in the sun or the rain Like that old littering pine tree When time moves on, oh, I go along But the images will always be
With each passing year, oh, the lines will grow deeper My memories will grow sweeter The laughter will grow fainter And I'll remain the painter of a love song from 1973
Bury my heart on the Jersey Shore Bury my heart Bury my heart no matter where I run Bury my heart
Bury my heart on the Jersey Shore Bury my heart Bury my heart no matter where I run
All this dreaming will drive me crazy But is it dreaming if it's all I ever do? The days are bleeding, they just run together The nights are cold in the deep of Minnesota
From where I lie, I can see the airport I watch them land and I see them leave So many things that I've never done So much ends before it's begun
And I'm so tired, I could cry I'm so tired, I lie awake at night
Watching the moonlight circle my head It's just about as blue as blue can get When I get out of this bed It's gonna start all over again
Mississippi sun doesn't shine this far north I'm dreaming of peaches and bare tanned knees A place that's warm, where they just let you be Where you can stay forever 'cause the rent is free
And I'm so tired, I could cry I' m so tired, all I can do is sigh
Watching the moonlight circle my head It's just about as blue as blue can get When I get out of this bed It's gonna start all over again
Some things are basically Beyond vision of doubt Some things I understand That I'm better off without
Dingy walls painted clean Broken words unseen I said maybe the world's as it should be You disagree
Bolder than paradise And longer than goodbye Carry your name around with me Like a spell I sometimes recite
Wide open spaces and amber waves of grain That's where I used to live In the kingdom of my youthful reign Before I was a prisoner to silo Walled into the shadows, shy to the sky, yeah
Bolder than paradise And longer than goodbye Carry your name around with me Like a spell I sometimes recite
Yeah, bolder than paradise And longer than goodbye And I'm gonna carry your name around with me Like a spell I sometimes recite
Nobody move, nobody breathe No one gets hurt but me Put the goods in the bag, lay it down easy Colorado
The horses want to run up Fifth Avenue, yeah And I'd run too but I'm wearing these high heeled shoes Someone trip the alarm, sirens come screaming Colorado, Colorado
Everyone put their hands on their head And their eyes on the ground No matter what you hear Don't turn around
Likely to get messy And it's likely to get loud, to get loud, to get loud And I'd prefer to spare everyone but me the sight Of it all falling down
Cat's in the bag, so lay it down easy Colorado, Colorado
Never knew how I felt till I felt that gun in my hands Never knew the sound of my voice till I heard it with that gun in my hand I'm going out those front doors like butch and sun-dance Gunning straight down the middle with the sun in my eyes Wanting for nothing but one bold moment in a fearless life
Today is a may day With a fair wind blowing Today no more may days It's a good day to die
What else could I do? You see how it goes You're left with no front door And a back door that's closed
So when they ask My name is Colorado, Colorado Is Colorado, is Colorado
Hey Joe, have you seen my friend Flo I was with her last night, I thought it was alright for her to go Put her in the car, guess she didn't get very far 'Cause they found her shoes and her purse by the off ramp
Don't know why she stopped but I am sure she had a reason Some creep took it as chick open season It doesn't look good, no, it doesn't look good I doubt she's gonna get up and walk out of those woods
But it could have been me, oh And that strikes me like a baseball bat across my knees, alright
One night my car broke down on the turnpike I was stuck in Northeast Pennsylvania It was after midnight and it was gonna snow I didn't have nowhere to go
I thought to call for help But when the cars passed me by my cries fell silent For how many times has the Devil walked among us Wearing the face of the savior
So I headed out alone not sure whether to stay in the light Where I could see or in the darkness where they can't see me
It could have been me, oh Strikes me like a baseball bat across my knees Oh, it could have been me, oh Strikes me like a baseball bat across my knees Oh, across my knees, oh, across my knees
Well, I know a guy, he's from far far away He's a songwriter, he got something to say He says, "People in this city are too busy to hang out This town's so spread out, no one would hear you if you shout"
Everyone's got a script to sell and someplace else they want to be There's always a lock that would open if you could just find the key But I know the patron saint of desperate causes Doesn't ring his fingers with diamonds and ruby roses
Some say there's no solution to all this disillusion What am I to say to you who simply doesn't care?
There's a lonely girl riding the bus in the middle of the night She calls herself up to hear a friendly voice And she says, "Hi, this is Casandra, leave your name and your number And I'll call you back if I have the time or if I remember"
Patty cake, patty cake, barkeep man Pour me a beer as fast as you can What to do with all this sadness that I see Lord knows it ain't easy being green
Some say there's no solution to all this disillusion What am I to say to you who simply doesn't care? Oh yeah
Oh some say, there's no solution to all this disillusion What am I to say to you who simply doesn't care? Oh yeah
Some say there's no solution to all this disillusion What am I to say to you who simply doesn't care? Who simply doesn't care, oh yeah, yeah
