Some lie about who they love
Some lie about the truth
Some lie to save their lives
Some lie about their youth
Some lie about age and beauty
When I was seventeen I saw a magazine.
It had those English boys who had long hair.
When I was on my own they moved into my town,
And I just called 'em up and they'd be there.
In 1969 I had a lousy time.
I listened to the songs, read letters sent from Nam.
Leaves are fallin' down on the beautiful ground
I heard a story from the man in red
He said, the leaves are fallin' down
Such a beautiful sound
Son, I think you'd better go ahead
But you always hold your head up high
Impatient, waiting by the phone
When we going to start to do this?
('cause tonight)
I don't want to be alone
Baby, I can't hold it in
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen
Nobody knows but Jesus
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen
Glory, Hallelujah
Sometimes I'm up
Well, I guess I'm freaking forty,
I can't say that I am thrilled
I never dated or known a writer,
I'll probably never will.
Well I guess I'm freaking forty,
Oh, but I'm better of them some,
Con una copa de vino
voy empezar el camino
que tu amor me ha señalado
ven a tomarla conmigo
y cuando este bien servido
ahi déjame olvidado
I open my lungs to breathe in forgiveness and love
Haunting me now reminders of how I used to be
And on down the road my troubles are sure to follow
Looking out the window, the hell if I know where I will go
So I'll just keep on driving
Only in America we're slaves to be free
Only in America we kill the unborn to make ends meet
Only in America sexuality is democracy
Only in America we stamp our god In God we trust
(chorus)
What is right or wrong
Yours till the stars have no glory
Yours till the birds fail to sing
Yours till the end of life's story
This pledge to you, dear, I bring
Yours in the gray of December
Here or on far distant shores
