Down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
People put me down 'cause
That's the side of town I was born in
I love her she loves me but I don't fit in her society
Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks
Ev'ry night I watch the lights from the house up on the hill
I love a little girl who lives up there and I guess I always will
But I don't dare knock on her door
'Cause her daddy is my boss man
So I have to try to be content
Just to see her when ever I can
Down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
People put me down 'cause
That's the side of town I was born in
I love her she loves me but I don't fit in her society
Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
One fine day I'll find the way to move from this old shack
I'll hold my head up like a king and I never never will look back
Until that morning I'll work and slave
And I'll save ev'ry dime
But tonight she'll have to steal away
To see me one more time
Down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
People put me down 'cause
That's the side of town I was born in
I love her she loves me but I don't fit in her society
Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks
Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks
Lord have mercy on the boy fr

Already Over Me
05:38
|

|
As you poured out the drinks for me
I could feel your hooks sink right into me
I knew that you were my destiny
That you would get the best of me
On the way down to Mexico
I danced in your rodeo
You said poverty was pisturesque
As you dragged your nails across my chest
You're so cold
You're so cruel
I'm yo' man
Not yo' fool
Are you already over me
Are you already over me
Are you already sick of me
What a fool I've been
What a fool I've been.
At the first flush of ecstasy
You lay naked next to me
Our love just put the dawn to flight
And I ignored all those warning lights
When you laughed
I just cried
When you left
I just died
Are you already over me
Are you already over me
Are you already sick of me
What a fool I've been
What a fool I've been
It's so hard to hold on to a love divine
I'm kneeling over in the corner
Worshipping your shrine.
I've been hurt
So abused
I've been burned
I've been bruised.
Are you already over me
Are you already over me
Are you already sick of me
What a fool I've been
What a fool I've been
What a fool I've been
What a fool I've been.....

When I'm walking beside her
People tell me I'm lucky.
Yes, I know I'm a lucky guy.
I remember the first time
I was lonely without her.
Can't stop thinking about her now.
Every little thing she does,
She does for me, yeah.
And you know the things she does,
She does for me, oooh.
When I'm with her I'm happy
Just to know that she loves me.
Yes, I know that she loves me now.
There is one thing I'm sure of,
I will love her forever.
For I know love will never die.
Every little thing she does,
She does for me, yeah.
And you know the things she does,
She does for me, oooh.
Every little thing she does,
She does for me, yeah.
And you know the things she does,
She does for me, oooh.

My Heart Will Go On
05:03
|
|||
|
Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we're gone
Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
You're here, there's nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

Good Times Roll

Let the good times roll
Let them knock you around
Let the good times roll
Let them make you a clown
Let them leave you up in the air
Let them brush your rock and roll hair
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
Let the stories be told
They can say what they want
Let the photos be old
Let them show what they want
Let them leave you up in the air
Let them brush your rock and roll hair
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll-oll
Won't you let the good times roll
Good times roll
If the illusion is real
Let them give you a ride
If they got thunder appeal
Let them be on your side
Let them leave you up in the air
Let them brush your rock and roll hair
Let the good times roll
Won't you let the good times roll-oll
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
Won't you let the good times roll
Well let the good times roll
Let 'em roll (good times roll)
Let the good times roll
Oo let the good times roll
Oo let the good times roll
Let 'em (good times roll)
Well, let the good times roll
(let the good times roll)
Well let the good times roll
Good times roll
(let the good times roll)
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll.....

Cuban Cigars
02:41
|

|
Away we go
Sail across the Gulf of Mexico
And go where the tourists don't go
And the days go by slow
Take me back there
If your old enough to pull up a chair
Tequila's flowin' free everywhere
So drink if you dare
Six streets back
Avenida Raphael Melgar
In a concrete shack
Smokin' Cuban cigars
Me and my amigos
Go to Negra Raul's
Poco senoritas
They keep my dirty glass full
Hey! What'cha say!
Before we get too blown away
Let's go where the local bands play
And play til the next day
Stay out all night
Standin' under Raul's light
Don't you dare cool your tequila with ice
Or you will pay twice!
Six streets back
Avenida Raphael Melgar
In a concrete shack
Smokin' Cuban cigars
Me and my amigos
Go to Negra Raul's
Poco senoritas
They keep my dirty glass full
Six streets back
Avenida Raphael Melgar
In a concrete shack
Smokin' Cuban cigars
Me and my amigos
Go to Negra Raul's
Poco senoritas
They keep my dirty glass full
Sail down to Mexico
Oooooo
Take me back there
Oooooo

My Back Pages
04:50
|
|||
|
Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rollin' high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I
Proud 'neath heated brow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now.
Half-cracked prejudice leaped forth
"Rip down all hate," I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull, I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now.
Girls' faces formed the forward path
From phony jealousy
To memorizing politics
Of ancient history
Flung down by corpse evangelists
Unthought of, thought, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now.
A self-ordained professor's tongue
Too serious to fool
Spouted out that liberty
Is just equality in school
"Equality," I spoke the word
As if a wedding vow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now.
In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
My existence led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now.
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now.

How does it feel to be
One of the beautiful people
Now that you know who you are
What do you want to be
And have you traveled very far
Far as the eye can see
Baby, you're a rich man
Baby, you're a rich man
Baby, you're a rich man, too.
How does it feel to be
One of the beautiful people
How often have you been there
Often enough to know
What did you see when you were there
Nothing that doesn't show
Baby, you're a rich man
Baby, you're a rich man
Baby, you're a rich man, too.
You keep all your money in a big brown bag
Inside a zoo
What a thing to do
Baby, you're a rich man
Baby, you're a rich man
Baby, you're a rich man, too.
(When the rain comes, they run and hide their heads)
(They might as well be dead)
(When the rain comes....When the rain comes)
How does it feel to be
One of the beautiful people
Tuned to a natural E
I'm happy to be that way
Now that you've found another key
What are you going to play?
Baby, you're a rich man
Baby, you're a rich man
Baby, you're a rich man, too.
You keep all your money in a big brown bag
Inside a zoo
What a thing to do
Baby, you're a rich man
Baby, you're a rich man
Baby, you're a rich man, too.

Yes I need you darling, to tell my troubles to
I know you'll understand me, when I'm feelin' blue
Just give me an opportunity, give me an opportunity
Give me an opportunity to prove my love is true
Honey, I was a stranger till you found me
The way you got me crying over you
Baby, you kiss me and you hug me
If you'd only say you love me, like I love you
Give me an opportunity, give me an opportunity
Give me an opportunity to prove my love is true, true
Yes I need you darling, I swear by heaven above
I need you here beside me, it's you I'm dreaming of
Just give me an opportunity, give me an opportunity
Give me an opportunity, give me an opportunity

Johnny is a joker (he's a bird)
A very funny joker (he's a bird)
But when he jokes my honey (he's a dog)
His jokin' ain't so funny (what a dog)
Johnny is a joker that's a'tryin' to steal my honey (he's a bird dog)
Johnny sings a love song (like a bird)
He sings the sweetest love song (ya ever heard)
But when he sings to my gal (what a howl)
To me he's just a wolf dog (on the prowl)
Johnny wants to fly away and puppy-love my baby (he's a bird dog)
Hey, bird dog get away from my quail
Hey, bird dog you're on the wrong trail
Bird dog you better leave my lovey-dove alone
Hey, bird dog get away from my chick
Hey, bird dog you better get away quick
Bird dog you better find a chicken little of your own
Johnny kissed the teacher (he's a bird)
He tiptoed up to reach her (he's a bird)
Well he's the teacher's pet now (he's a dog)
What he wants he's been gettin' now (what a dog)
He even made the teacher let him sit next to my baby (he's a bird dog)
Hey, bird dog get away from my quail
Hey, bird dog you're on the wrong trail
Bird dog you better leave my lovey-dove alone
Hey, bird dog get away from my chick
Hey, bird dog you better get away quick
Bird dog you better find a chicken little of your own
He's a bird dog.....
