Song Lyrics

Rosalie

Gentle People

Have you ever spoke the truth and lied?
Have you ever waved your love good-bye?
I've wrestled women to the floor
Done all these things and probably more
Have you ever cried and not shed tears?
Have you ever drank a lot of beer?
I've done these things and so much more
Wishing I had Rose on the floor
(Chorus)
But please don't cry no no not for me
Guess this world's not what it's supposed to be
But if I had it to do all again my friend
I'd want the love of Rosalie
hm-hum-hum
Have you ever loved and not known how?
Have you ever thought that you know how?
If you have then friend you're just like me
Chasing rainbows cross a plate of peas
(Chorus)
Never mind, never mind I don't want to waste your time
It's just a song nothing more. Something wrote for you
Have you lost the game and your not playing?
Have you wondered what these words are saying?
It's just a song I wrote for you
Nothing more than you could probably do
(Chorus)

I heard it a long time ago
Hearing someone say I know
Strange is he who thinks he sees
Gentle people talk to me

Gentle people talk to me
Cleanse my eyes so I can see
Hear the words I long to say
Gentle people come my way

You take the time to be free
Lord, I hope you think of me
I wake up wondering where I've been
Tell me do I have a friend

Gentle people talk to me
Cleanse my eyes so I can see
Hear the words I long to say
Gentle people come my way
(Repeat Twice)

Kiss The Morning Sunshine

Take Me Back Wife

If I had the time to talk to you
I'm sure I'd spend it in a better way
Than reminiscing old memories
Of the things we did yesterday
You know I'd
Kiss the morning sunshine, kiss the morning rain
Kiss the morning people
That all together with themselves once again

Every night you cry in your bible
Every night you cry in your booze
What good would it do if I were to talk to you?
You wouldn't listen now anyhow would you now?
You better kiss the morning sunshine, kiss the morning rain
Kiss the morning people
That are together with themselves once again

Rain Rain on your window pane
Or a walk down a shady lane
Feeling easy light and breezy
Slipping on a simple song

If I had the time to talk to you
I'm sure I'd spend it in a better way
Than reminiscing old memories
Of the things we did yesterday
You know I'd
Kiss the morning sunshine, kiss the morning rain
Kiss the morning people
That are together with themselves once again

Fun time man in New Orleans again
A Cajun's dream but I'm not French
I'd just as soon be trapped in a dusty sack
Picking cotton in the town I spent my life
Take me back wife

I caught an old bus but not the two of us
Damn! If it ain't hard to go alone
Then all at once, I caught just glimpse
Of the times we lay in bed at night
Take me back wife

Take us back to the rolling trees
Take us back to the running streams
Put me on the path that leads me home
It'll save our failing minds
We can live on happy times
That's the story of my life
Take me back wife

I found an old friend in the fix I'm in
He said it's been a year ago or so
But I can't go back, then he sort of laughed
Don't let your pride ruin your life
Take me back wife

Take me back to the rolling trees
Take me back to the running streams
Put me on the path that leads me home

It'll save our failing minds
We can live on happy times
That's the story of my life
Take me back wife

(Repeat)

Ain't It Good To Be Home

Sweet Country Child

Get up in the morning sunlight
Everybody's talking alright
Can't find a soul that wanna leave home
Well, everybody work together
Get hung up in the weather
Can't find a soul that wanna leave home

(Chorus)

And I sing sweet-sweet raindrops
Sweet-sweet sunlight sweet-sweet morning
Ain't it good to be home ain't it good to be home

I got lost but I don't mind it
Found some people who all love me
Took me in just like I was their own
Taught me lessons all fine and good

Brought me up on chopping wood
I don't regret a minute of my life

(Chorus)

And I sing sweet-sweet raindrops
Sweet-sweet sunlight sweet-sweet morning
Ain't if good to be home ain't it good to be home
Sweet-sweet sunlight sweet-sweet morning
Ain't it good to be home ain't it good to be home
Sweet-sweet sweet-sweet-sweet
Sweet-sweet sweet-sweet-sweet

Get up in the morning sunlight
Everybody's talking alright
Can't find a soul that wanna leave home
Well, everybody work together
Get hung up in the weather
Can't find a soul that wanna leave home

(Chorus)

Sweet little country lady
Take you're country pride and go
-hmm-hmm-hmm
The life we had is faded
Where it went I'll never know
-hmm-hmm-hmm
Pick up the pieces that I've scattered for miles around
I'm mighty sorry I let you down
Your the finest thing I've ever found

Sweet little country woman
Before you go, take my hand
You feel so soft and gentle, I know you need a better man
-hmm-hmm-hmm
But if you decide to change your mind
And come back home, who's to say I might be gone
Your the finest thing I've ever known

Living in the kind of world
That you never knew
Being with the kind of people you can't talk too
Sweet little country child
Sail on home where you belong
-hmm-hmm-hmm

A life with me's too wild
You'd best be spending it alone
-hmm-hmm-hmm-hum
But if I didn't give a damn, then I'd say stay
But I can't live with you that way
I'd just as soon you'd leave today
Sweet little country child
-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
Sweet little country lady
-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm

Bless Me Miss America

Young And Free

When you're down below the bridge
And nobody sees you there
Just sing a song 'bout the things that are wrong
It might clear the air
And if it seems quite worthless
Like jumping up to the moon
You gotta keep on singing this song
Till everybody sings it too

You gotta sing
Bless me Miss America
The world's in an awful way
Nobody cares 'bout cleanin' the air
The moon's standing in the way
Bless me Miss America. I'm gonna do the best I can
To help this song move things along
Try to save the land La-la-la
And if the cities keep getting large
We'll have to move on a barge
And everybody'll be looking towards
The sun they're never gonna see

You gotta sing
Bless me Miss America
The world's in an awful way
Nobody cares 'bout cleanin' the air
The moon's standing in the way
Bless me Miss America. I'm gonna do the best I can
To help this song move things along
Try to save the land

(Repeat and fade)

How many times have you leaned on back
Dreamed about the days
Knowing your can't turn back
And sit in the sun
Waiting for the night to come
Knowing you're still so young and alive
Lord it's a shame when you ain't got the time
To drift on back to the nursery rhymes
Cause those were the times
That are best in my mind
Lord it's just a crime to let them die

(Chorus)

And I want to live the life I use to live
And I want to be always be young and free
How many years have you wasted away
That you wouldn't trade for just one day
To be in the past but still it couldn't last
Cause you can't take back what's here today.

(Chorus)

It's Another Day

Neither Do I

It's another day
Will you come and sit with me awhile
There's things to say
We need to laugh and talk
The way we used to do
I carry so much love for you

Get it off my mind
I'll tell you all the things
That bother me from time to time
It won't hurt me and Lord I pray it won't hurt you
That's the last thing now I'd ever want to do

Come help me carry on
I'm willing to try again
But I won't live alone
'Cause I still need a friend
Can't we just learn to be friends
As well as lovers once again

Lets start again, the first years we had
We're of so fine so let's not end
The magic touch that we once had
If we'll just try and look
Love's the only thing we took

Come help me carry on
I'm willing to try again
But I won't live alone
'Cause I still need a friend
Can't we just learn to be friends
As well as lovers once again
"It's another day"

Get along now Mister Anyhow
The situation ain't the same
The people are tight and nobody's right
They don't understand what the problem is
Neither do I, neither do I

The clothes you wear don't fit your hair
Too bad you better stay home
But you're not welcome anyway
You best spend the night alone
But oh Lord! They're taking me away

Seems like it's much too soon
But I can't blame the population
There just ain't no room for me

I don't know why the world's this way
I run into good people every day
There's just not enough people floating around
To keep all the bad people on the ground
I might look a fright, but I got the right
To be the way I am
And nobody's gonna hold me down
'Cause they don't understand
What the problem is
Neither do I, neither do I

But oh Lord! They're taking me away
Seems like it's much too soon
But I can't blame the population
There just ain't no room for me
