I'm tired of living and I'm
Feared of dying
But that ol' man river
Keeps rolling along
Take me to the river and drop me in the water
Dip me in the river, drop me in the water
Washing me down, washing me down
At the car wash
Workin' at the car wash, girl
Come on and sing it with me
(Car wash)
Sing it with the feelin' y'all
(Car wash, yeah)
Take this job and shove it.
I ain't gonna work here anymore.
Don't forget your shovel if you want to go to work.
Oh don't forget your shovel if you want to go to work.
Don't forget your shovel if you want to go to work
Or you'll end up where you came from like the rest of us
Diggin', diggin', diggin'
It's a working man I am and I've been down underground
And I swear to God if I ever see the sun
Over any length of time, I can hold it in my mind
I never again will go down underground
Come on then jim it's time to go
Time you were working down below
Time to be handling a pick and shovel
you start at the pits today
Time you were learning the collier's job
And earning the colliers pay
Workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down, down, down
Workin' in a coal mine
Oops, about to slip down
That night we went down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh, down to the river we did ride
Yeah, yeah
Down by the lazy river
Come as you please
Down by the lazy river
One big family
I'm just a family man, like it or not,
I am a family man.
I'm a-holding onto what I've got.
We've gotta hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
What a difference a day makes
24 little hours
Sometimes I get the feelin'I was back in the old days long ago
When we were kids, when we were young
We were the rock 'n' roll kids
Rock 'n' roll was all we did
And listening to those songs on the radio
I was yours and you were mine
That was once upon a time
Now we never seem to rock 'n' roll anymore
Keep on rockin' in the free world
I hope Neil Young will remember, a southern man don't need him around anyhow.
Southern man, better keep your head
Don't forget what your good book said
n my book of dreams
In my book of dreams
In my book of dreams
I took your urgent whisper
Stole the arc of a white wing
Rode like foam on the river of pity
Turned its tide to strength
Healed the hole that ripped in living
Once you were tethered
Well now you are free
That was the river
This is the sea!
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
You know a dream is like a river
Ever changin' as it flows
And a dreamer's just a vessel
That must follow where it goes
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back
Once upon a different life
We rode our bikes into the sky
But now we crawl against the tide
Those distant days are flashing by
When your seven worlds collide
Whenever I'm by your side
And dust from a distant sun
Will shower over everyone
Just shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna work out fine
If you only will
I gotta get some money and get it right away
Because my baby she gave me the word today
She's tired of sittin' home each night, she says she has her fill
And if I don't take her to the dance next week, Johnny will
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Lets dance. Put on your red dress and dance away the blues.
Everyday, everyday I have the blues
Everyday, everyday I have the blues
When you see me worried woman
And it's you I hate to lose
Wait patiently for love
Someday it will surely come
It's been a long time
Now I'm coming back home
I've been away now
Oh how I've been alone
Wait 'til I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we've cried
Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree
It's been three long years
Do ya still want me
I know it's too late
I'm lost in a forest
All alone
If you go down in the woods today, you're sure of a big surprise
If you go down in the woods today, you'd better go in disguise
So take off the mask
So I can see your face
I was thinking about your face
Rolling up the river
I was worried what you thought
And I'm sorry if I can't remember
I keep forgettin' how you made that so clear
I keep forgettin'
I forgot to remember to forget.
We have no memory tonight
(No memory, no memory)
We have the sun in our hair
And the moon in our eyes
We just don't give a damn 'cos we are free (free, free)
