Back in 78 03:10
lyrics

When I was a child back in 78, the ground shook hard and the earth did shake 2 sit together in the back of the aisle, one with a grin and the other a smile 1 with a grin, 1 with a grin, 1 with a grin and the other a smile I saw the branch throw the leaf to the ground, I hear the voices but she hears the sound Tippity tap on the toes of your feet ya, run down the path and walk down the street Walk down the path, walk down the path, walk down the path, and run down to the street Then she began to see the wonders of the land and soon she will know The land our final plan is right over the hill, so we need to go When I was a child back in 78, the ground shook hard and the earth did shake 2 sit together in the back of the aisle, one with a grin and the other a smile 1 with a grin, 1 with a grin, 1 with a grin and the other a smile

Welcome stranger it’s 4:35, are you hungry we got pudding and pies Throw down your coat, kick off them shoes baby, relax and kiss goodbye all the worry & blues See saw drive up the hill between the young and old tradin their pills Look out we’re all the same until you realize all this fortune and fame It don’t matter if ya kick the canteen baby, I’ll walk on shattered legs and I’ll crawl to the streams Look out we’re all the same until you realize all this fortune and fame Ooooohhhhhh Fortune and Fame Ooooooooh Fortue and Fame It’s all around, what can I say, lonesome streets are so yesterday, Clench your fists, lighten the load to see I’ve got something that you oughta see, before we start im very sorry would you like coffee or tea Move on over, lets begin the ride (lets begin the ride), take note and be alert and look with your eyes Ding Dong back up the hill between the sun and moon it’s all your free will Look out we’re all the same until you realize all this fortune and fame Ooooohhhhhh Fortune and Fame Ooooooooh Fortune and Fame

well he came down from the hills today he came in search of water A suitcase packed with masses of cottontail glue A time piece was all I ordered From Captain tenoki and his cranes and his jumby jolly jazz band jambori Then she said with her impecable dred OH MY WORD Well he came down from the hills today Well he came from Acworth Georgia Longs legs, the smell of alfalpha in the afternoon Perimeter yell thats an order retrack at the lightest of his glaze In Boston there's no salisbury steak

Once in a while 04:10
lyrics

Well I had a dream an incredible dream I awoke and found nothing was left in my head. In the beginning the light it was bright and it brought me some visions and all those good times. And I skate away up the hill of debris overlooking the valley of past mistakes, nothing left here lets head north to the mountains and ahhh, remember the dream every once in a while. Well I had a girl, an incredible girl...I awoke and found all of those things in my mind. Like the beginning the light it was bright and it brought back the visions and all those good times. And I skate away up the hill of debris overlooking the valley of past mistakes, nothing left here lets head north to the mountains and ahhh, remember the dream every once in a while. Well I ain't got time on my hands I'm up on the ropes. Not sure where I am going to be, cause when you've got slaves for you but there's nothing left for them to do anymore..... And so they danced, arms raised, howling to the sky ahhh And the message was clear but there was no ear to hear No matter they said, we could do this all day....adn they did. And I skate away up the hill of debris overlooking the valley of past mistakes, nothing left here lets head north to the mountains and ahhh, remember the dream every once in a while, once in a while, once in a while, once in a while.

The Lion 04:50
lyrics

He stood over 8 ft tall, the warrior’s burden to bare Forging battles big and small, a proud badge to wear Do you think he’ll understand, who really wears the crown Cause soon they’ll be darker days and even the lion lays down Mother Earth opens her arms, to collect the dead souls The wind she breathes forgiveness, the only family he knows Do you think she’ll understand who really wears the crown Cause soon they’ll be darker days and even the lion lays down And in the dark he saw a light and laid his sword by his feet In the distance he castles burning bright, the struggle is complete Do you think they’ll understand, who really wears the crown Cause soon they’ll be darker days and even the lion lays down Cause soon they’ll be darker days and even the lion lays down

Diamonds, pearls and rubies 04:06
lyrics
buy track
Hardtime memories are packing up their pretty pictures, Pull the anchor all aboard time to sail the sea All day long the urge is strong to lower down my britches, Draw a line within the sand for everyone to see Diamonds Pearls and Rubies Diamonds Pearls and Rubies Hello my friends its awfully nice here in the garden, Take a seat have a sip of shine from Tennessee Noiseless sound transmission down remember rhyme nor reason, Take us in bring us home a note with harmony Diamonds Pearls and Rubies Diamonds Pearls and Rubies We’re walking out on the lake, we shiver and shake, Yelling out to the sky it’s alright Were gonna get what we can, some freedom and some land, We’re going all out the way!!!! It’s a new day!! All these memories that run around your mind it don’t matter, Set a coarse draft a plan for the U that will become U Tell them all to go to hell with their special $5 platter, Pop a cork, build a tree, do this all for me Diamonds Pearls and Rubies Diamonds Pearls and Rubies

Bird song 01:34
lyrics

Song, what a lovely bird song though it doesn't last long but the feeling will always still go round and round Like a boat with no seas or a tree with no leaves It'll come around and joint he circle complete the circle True all the things that you do it'll live beyond Like a record always spinning round and round And the trees grows their leaves and the boats find their seas And we're running around in lots of circles one big circle Now when the sun goes on down then the moon will come round And we start all over with rights turned wrong ya roads that are long Lovely bird songs

I've got something 05:50

I've got something I've got something I've got something inside The realization that nothing I've known is real Down the path it's clear and it's safe Stand up straight it's time to behave I've got something I've got something I've got something inside I've got something I've got something I've got something inside I understand the way it had to be Year after year deap rooted fears Turn around and wipe up your tears I've got something I've got something I've got something inside The sun will come up the sun will down See the plants as they grow all around I've got something I've got something I've got something inside Don't let them poison your mind, poison your mind Don't let them poison your mind, poison your mind I've got something I've got something I've got something inside

Asleep in the backseat you know you’re not alone Spirits are flyin on the wings of love And all that you see, runnin in circles not knowing where you going And a one two three wishes out the window adios sianara Just let it be cause I got a Long Journey Home a Long Journey Home Lost in the desert tryin to get back home Things to remember on the wings of love And what we need is too far gone nothin left there to recover And we’re lost at sea lookin for a lighthouse like a child for his mother And I’ll let it be cause I’ve got a Long Journey Home a Long Journey Home You tried to never give it away You just didn’t know how to say those things those little bitty things that build Hope your feet are in the sand today, maybe sippin on a little champagne oh yea champagne oh yea ah Then you had to go and run away, leave the people that you loved in pain oh yea in pain oh yea ah huh And I really only knew your name, the pastures had all been grazed And all that you see runnin in circles not knowin where you’re goin And its one two three wishes out the window adios sianara Just let it be cause I got a Long Journey Home a Long Journey Home
