In that soulful ol' man sunshine
She looks so fresh and sweet, keeps herself soft and tender
No wonder that I can sing a song about my baby
She looks so healthy, I feel so doggone wealthy
No wonder that I can sing a song about my baby
So happy, together love is better in that soulful ol' man sunshine
She wakes up singing songs, of happy everafters
Well let me just tell you 'bout my ever-lovin' lady
One bright September, I can remember
The morning we walked together laughin' in the sunshine
So happy, together love is better in that soulful ol' man sunshine
Hey old man shine your love on me
Hey old man shine your love on me
Soulful old man sunshine shine your light divine on me
Hey ol' man shine your love on me
Then suddenly the light shines through and I see you there standing before me
Today the world is new I feel so high and so far within you, yeah
Morning and evening, my love is weaving
A magical thread of joy that joins our hearts together

Have you ever been in airplane
When the flyin' circus comes to town
Count your change, take a walk on the wing with me
Loop de loop flip flop flyin' in an aeroplane
Peepin' and a-hidin' in and out of the cloud
The leader lost a hanky wavin' down at the crowd
The barnstorm down but the rooster on the weather vane
Loop de loop flip flop flyin' in an aeroplane
Huffin' and a-puffin' flyin' high as she can
A patchwork quilt stretches over the land
We'll toss and tumble and sail her right in to the sun
Loop de loop flip flop flyin' in an aeroplane

San Miguel

Started off the day with a thought
That took me far away
I think I found a place
Where I know I can be forever
It's down in San Miguel
Could be in Mexico
Where you don't need no dough
I know I'm gonna go
Lookin' for the ladies of love
I go where I'm going
Goin' straight ahead
Down in to San Miguel
Over the top
We cross the border now
Headin' in to San Miguel
That's where I'm gonna go
Hope you will be comin' too
You can kick off your shoes
Come on it's time to go
Lookin' for the ladies of love
It's down in San Miguel
Could be in Mexico
Where you don't need no dough
I know I'm gonna go
Lookin' for the ladies of love

Hello
My luck was so bad
I thought I used up all the luck I had
Every time I thought I'd get it on
Someone put me on
There's been a change
Beautiful and strange
My life's gone through a change
Somehow I know (somehow I know)
Bad luck's in the past
All good things here at last
So now we'll grow
There's been a change
Bad luck (no more)
No bad luck (no more)
No bad luck (no more)
No bad luck (no more)
I got news for you
There ain't no blues
I got news for you
Listen to the boys loud and clear
Come on folks withstand you fears
Sail away the choice is yours you choose
Celebrate the news
There ain't no blues
Come on, come on, come on

Breakaway

Break break shake away, break breakaway
Now I'm free to do what I want to do
Time will not wait for me, time is my destiny
Why change the part of me that has to be free
The love that passed me by, I found no reason why
But now each day is filled with the love, that very same love
That passed me by and that is why
I can breakaway from that lonely life
And I can do what I want to do
And breakaway from that empty life and my world is new
When I laid down on my bed I heard voices in my head
Telling me now hey it's only a dream
The more I thought of it I had been out of it
And here's the answer I found instead
Found out it was in my head
Found out it was my head
Found out it was in my head
And I can breakaway to the better life
Where the shackles never hold me down
I'm gonna make a way for each happy day
As my life turns around

I Just Got My Pay

Five long days and I'm tired of working
I'm going to see my boss today
In fifteen minutes I'll be on the train
'Cause I just got my pay
Now I could take and sock away my dough
And make me six percent a year
But it's not much fun to wait around for that
When I can spend it while it's here
Ah
Let's get dressed up
And see a movie
I like spending my money
And I like having a good time
Good times sure make me happy
And I'm so happy
'Cause I just got my pay
Monday morning I'm up and at it
Those last two days were good for my soul
It's time to do my working thing
I'm late so I got to roll
My take home comes to 'bout ninety-five
And my boss is giving me some praise
If it weren't for me the place would fall apart
I think I'll hit him up for a raise
(Hit 'im up get a raise)
Ah
Let's get undressed
And climb in bed too
I like spending my money
And I like having a good time
Good times sure make me happy
And I'm so happy
'Cause I just got my pay

Big Sur
02:38
|
|

Cashmere hills filled with evergreens
Flowin' from the clouds down to meet the sea
With the granite cliff
(big sur mount)
As a referee
Crimson sunsets and golden dawns
A mother deer with their newborn fawns
All under big sur skies
(big sur mount)
That's where i belong
Big sur i've got plans for you
Me and mine are going to
Add ourselves to your lengthy list of lovers
(big sur mount)
And live in canyons covered in springtime green
Wild birds and flowers to be heard and seen
And with my old guitar
I'll make up songs to sing
Where bubbling springs from the mountainside
Join the big sur river to the oceanside
Where the kids can look for sea shells at low tide
Big sur my astrology it says that i am made to be
Where the rugged mountain meets the water
And so while stars shine brightly from up above
The fog rolls in through a redwood grove
And to my dying fire i think i'll add a log
From time to time i must go away
The thoughts of big sur won't let me stay
Away from big sur
Oh big sur

Sound of Free
02:28
|
|

Children of light and darkness all around
They all are born without sight and shackled to the ground
Drawn always toward the sound of free
I pray my love will make you come and see
I know the way so come and follow me
And always hear the sound of free
The mountains are high
The valleys so low
I know the way through
Come baby, listen to me
I'll whisper the sounds of free
Come on, listen to me
As high as the sky
As deep as the sea
The sound of free
This sound is coming
Can't not see the sound of free
Children of light and darkness all around
I pray my love will make you come and see

Wouldn't it be nice to live again
High on a hill making love again
Whoever said that love would die
Whoever said the very first lie
Whoever said goodbye
Tell me whoever said a man can't cry?
I know I can cry
And we'll live our life alone
And I know it's alright, it's alright
I'll show you a place
That can't be seen
High above the clouds
Just you and me
I know we can live with love
Simple little life
Just you and me
Whoever said goodbye
Tell me whoever said a girl shouldn't cry?
I know you can cry
And we'll live our life alone
And I know it's alright, honey it's alright

Born of the age
Flagged hopes
Censored rage
The black clad box
Bombs bursting in air
Bleed white red and blue
Cried dawn's early light
For the hope
Oh where has it gone
Brothers sisters stand firmly and try
Reaching the spacious skies
Fourth of July
Lie by the sword
Black times
False reward
The greetings of doom
So proudly they hail
Lost fortune of free
The stripes and bright stars
Promise lost
Oh where has it gone
Brothers sisters stand firmly and try
Reaching the spacious ski-ies
Fourth of July
Brothers sisters stand firmly and try
Reaching the spacious ski-ies
Fourth of July
