Title
- I don't like to go down to flats
- 'Cause I can't park on a hill
- Instead getting a rolling start
- I have to pay the bill.
- I guess I need that city life
- It sure has lots of style
- But pretty soon it wears me out
- And I have to think to smile.
- I'm thankful for my country home
- It gives me peace of mind
- Somewhere I can walk alone
- And leave myself behind.
- It's only someone else's potatoes
- You pickin' someone else's patch
- And if you go down there anyway
- It very seldom lasts.
- I found that out once long ago
- And it sure got me confused
- I still don't know which way to go
- To lose those old spud blues.
- I'm thankful for my country home
- It gives me peace of mind
- Somewhere I can walk alone
- And leave myself behind.
- I came to you,
- when I needed a rest
- You took my love,
- and put it to the test
- I saw some things,
- that I never
- would have guessed
- Feel like a railroad,
- I pulled a whole load behind.
- That old white line
- is friend of mine
- And it's good time
- we've been making
- Right now I'm rollin' down
- the open road
- And the daylight
- will soon be breaking.
- I was adrift
- on a river of pride
- It seemed like such a
- long easy ride
- You were my raft
- but I let you slide
- I've been down but
- I'm coming back up again.
- And I'm rollin' down
- the open road
- Where the daylight
- will soon be breaking
- Right now I'm thinking 'bout
- these things that I know
- But it's good time
- that we've been making.
- At night when the sky is clear
- and the moon is shining down
- My heart goes running back to you
- I love the way
- you open up and let me in
- So I go running back to you,
- Over and over again.
- Over and over again my love
- Over and over again with you
- Over and over again my love
- Over and over again with you.
- Remember the nights of love
- and that moment on the beach
- That wasn't really too long ago
- But we paid the price of time,
- and now it's out of reach
- And so the broken circle go,
- Over and over again
- Over and over again my love
- Over and over again with you
- Over and over again my love
- Over and over again with you.
- Somewhere in a fire of love,
- our dreams went up in smoke
- We danced beneath silver rain
- Upon the fields of green,
- where time was just a joke
- And now the feeling's
- just the same,
- Over and over again.
- Over and over again my love
- Over and over again with you
- Over and over again my love
- Over and over again with you.
- Late one night I was walking
- in the valley of hearts.
- A spirit came to me and said:
- You gotta move to start
- You gotta take the first step
- You gotta crawl to be tall
- And then she me told something,
- something that
- I'll never forget.
- You got love to burn.
- You better
- take your chance on love.
- You got to let your guard down
- You better take a chance,
- A chance on love.
- Take chance on love
- On love.
- In the valley of hearts there's
- a house full of broken windows
- And the lovers inside just
- quarrel all the time
- Why'd you ruin my life?
- Where you takin' my kid?
- And they hold each other saying:
- How did it come to this?
- You got love to burn.
- You better take your chance
- on love.
- You got to let your guard down
- You better take a chance,
- A chance on love.
- Take chance on love
- On love.
- Late one night I was walking
- in the valley of hearts.
- A spirit came to me and said:
- You gotta move to start
- You gotta take the first step
- You gotta crawl to be tall
- And then she me told something,
- something that
- I'll never forget.
- Well, I saw an old man
- walking in my place
- And he looked at me,
- it could have been my face
- His words were kind
- but his eyes were wild
- He said: I got load to love,
- but I want one more child.
- There's a mansion on the hill
- Psychedelic music fills the air
- Peace and love live there still
- In that mansion on the hill.
- Around the next bend,
- take the highway to the sun
- Or the rocky road,
- it really don't matter
- which one
- I was in hurry
- but that don't matter now
- 'Cause I have to get off
- that road of tears somehow.
- There's a mansion on the hill
- Psychedelic music fills the air
- Peace and love live there still
- In that mansion on the hill.
- People say don't rock the boat,
- let things go their own way
- Ideas that once seem so right,
- now have gotten hard to say
- I wish I could talk to you,
- you could talk to me
- 'Cause there's very few of us left
- my friend
- From the days that used to be.
- Seem like such a simple thing
- to follow one's own dream
- But possessions and concession
- are not often what they seem
- They drag you down
- and load you down
- in disguise of security.
- But we never had
- to make those deals
- In the days that used to be.
- Talk to me, my long lost friend,
- tell me how you are
- Are you happy with
- your circumstance,
- are you driving a new car
- Does it get you where you wanna go,
- with a seven year warranty
- Or just another
- hundred thousand miles away
- From days that used to be.
- Long ago in the book of old,
- Before the chapter
- where dreams unfold
- A battle raged
- on the open page,
- Love was a winner there
- overcoming hate
- Like a little girl
- who couldn't wait.
- Love and only love
- will endure
- Hate is everything
- you think it is
- Love and only love
- will break it down
- Love and only love,
- will break it down
- Break it down, break it down.
- Tomorrow is a long long time
- if you're a memory
- Trying to find peace of mind
- Spirit come back to me,
- Give me strength and set me free
- Let me hear the magic in my heart.
- Love and only love
- will endure
- Hate is everything
- you think it is
- Love and only love
- will break it down
- Love and only love,
- will break it down
- Break it down, break it down.

- Oh, Mother Earth,
- With your fields of green
- Once more laid down
- by the hungry hand
- How long can you
- give and not receive
- And feed this world
- ruled by greed
- And feed this world
- ruled by greed.
- Oh, ball of fire
- In the summer sky
- Your healing light,
- your parade of days
- Are they betrayed
- by the men of power
- Who hold this world
- in their changing hands
- They hold the world
- in their changing hands.
- Oh, freedom land
- Can you let this go
- Down to the streets
- where the numbers grow
- Respect Mother Earth
- and her giving ways
- Or trade away
- our children's days
- Or trade away
- our children's days.
- Respect Mother Earth
- and her giving ways
- Or trade away
- our children's days.
