Well, I could just sit around
Makin' music all day long
Long as I'm makin' music
I know I couldn't do nobody wrong
And who knows, maybe someday
I'll come up with a song
It makes people want to stop
All their fussin' and fightin'
Just long enough to sing along
I believe in music, I believe in love
Music is love and love is music
If you know what I mean
And people who believe in music
Are the ha...
Back of few months ago I was headling
at a great big night club
and they put me up at what they call the Star Suite:
Now here I am headling
at one of the biggest night clubs
in the country and I wake up
at eight o'clock in the morning
in this Star suite all by myself.
Aah that's what I said "Aah".
But I did what I've always done to cheer myself up
I picked up my guitar
I sat down and wrote me ...
She's a woman, she's a baby
She's a witch, she's a lady
She's a free and gentle spirit
She can be what she wants to be
If she wants to be with me tonight
That's alright
She's one hell of a woman
Young and strong and tame
But soft when she loves me
Like a gentle kitten in my hand
She makes me feel like a hell of a man
She's wild, warm and tender
She'll resist, then she'll surrender
She's a free...
Hey Mister, where you going in such a hurry
Don't you think it's time you realized
There's a whole lot more to life than work and worry
All the sweetest things in life are free
And they're right before your eyes
You've got to stop and smell the roses
You've got to count your many blessings everyday
You're gonna find your way to heaven is a rough and rocky road
If you don't stop and smell the r...
There he sits with a pen and a yellow pad
He's a handsome lad, that's my boy
B R L F Q spells mom and dad
Well that ain't too bad, 'coz that's my boy
You can have your TV and your nightclubs
You can have your drive-in picture shows
I'll sit here and drink a beer and listen to the radio
Bide my time and watching Scotty grow
Making castles out of building blocks
And a cardboard box, that's my bo...
On a quiet street in the city
A little old man walks along
Shuffling through the autumn afternoon
And the autumn leaves reminded him
Another summer's come and gone
He had a long, lonely night ahead waiting for June
Then among the leaves near an orphan's home
A piece of paper caught his eye
And he stooped to pick it up with trembling hands
And as he read the childish writing, the old man began ...
Well who wipes me off when I get gravy on my shirt?
And who knows exactly where to kiss me when I hurt?
And who make love to me on satin sheets or in the dirt?
You babe, you're my bestest friend
Who takes me home when I get too drunk to dance?
And who bravely puts up with my uncles and my aunts?
And who discreetly whispers I forgot to zip your pants?
You babe, you're my bestest friend
And who ...
