Everybody's talking at me I don't hear a word they're saying Only the echoes of my mind People stopping staring I can't see their faces Only the shadows of their eyes I'm going where the sun keeps shining Thru' the pouring rain Going where the weather suits my clothes Backing off of the North East wind Sailing on summer breeze And skipping over the ocean like a stone |

I knew a man Bojangles and he danced for you In worn out shoes Silver hair a ragged shirt and baggy pants The old soft shoe He jumped so high He jumped so high Then he'd lightly touch down I met him in a cell in New Orleans I was Down and out He looked to me to be the eyes of age As he spoke right out He talked of life He talked of life He laughed clicked his heels and stepped Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles Dance He said his name Bojangles and he danced a lick Across the cell He grabbed his pants a better stance he jumped so high Then he clicked his heels He let go a laugh let go a laugh Pushed back his clothes all around He danced for those in minstral shows and county fairs Throughout the south He spoke with tears of fifteen years how his dog and him Traveled about The dog up and died He up and died After twenty years he still grieves Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles Dance He said I dance now at every chance in honky tonks For drinks and tips But most the time I spend behind these county bars He said I drinks a bit He's his head And as he's his head I heard someone ask him please Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles Dance |

So long, big city; it's time to say goodbye.I'm longing for those country roads;I need to see the sky.Think I'll take a swing down south, visit Tennessee.See if that girl Annie still remembers me. Gonna take that blue highway and leave this sorry town.Stayed too long, but now I'm gone, and I know where I'm bound.I don't wanna take the interstate; it represents all the things I hate.I'm rollin' down that blue highway. So long, confusion; it's time to slow things down.Say goodbye to my old friends, ease on out of town.I made me some money here but paid for ev'ry day.And ev'ry mile just makes me smile, 'cause I made my getaway. Gonna take that blue highway and leave this sorry town.I've stayed too long, but now I'm gone, and I know where I'm bound.I've had it up to here with worry.From now on, I'm in no hurry, rollin' down that blue highway. I'll be ridin' that blue highway and leave this sorry town.I've stayed too long, but now I'm gone, and I know where I'm bound.I've had it up to here with worry.From now on, I'm in no hurry, rollin' down that blue highway.I'll be rollin' down that blue highway.You can find me on that blue highway. |

Young it was, true it was, Days without wond'ring, Fall with a special thing, Laugh, if I could laugh, And I did. And the singer sings his song, And the children dance along, And the singer sings his song, And we dance along. Good it was when it was, We chased the flowers, Warm summer showers. Once, it was once long ago. And the singer sings his song, And the children dance along, And the singer sings his song, And we dance along. Once, it was once long ago. And the singer sings his song, And the children dance along, And the singer sings his song, And we dance along. And the singer sings his song and we dance along |

New York City, look at me now
Being stared at from behind the plow Mississippi, don't get annoyed I ain't no hippie, just a New York boy Didn't want the mayor to come Or a big brass band to greet me But then the reception I got Well it wasn't what I had in mind People gawkin' at me Like I'm talkin' strange Me, I ain't much better 'Cause I'm thinkin' the same Hey boy New York City, look at me now Being stared at from behind the plow Mississippi, don't get annoyed I ain't no hippie, just a New York boy Sayin' why'all and eatin' on grits Talkin' as slow as molasses And all the time just pointing at me And the hair growin' over my ears Gets my mind to wondering Just who's right and who's wrong I guess if they'll get used to the sideburns I'll get used to the corn Hey boy New York City, look at me now Being stared at from behind the plow Mississippi, don't get annoyed I ain't no hippie, just a New York boy New York City, look at me now Being stared at from behind the plow Mississippi, don't get annoyed I ain't no hippie, just a New York boy New York City look at me now |

You're not a dream
You're not an angel You're a woman I'm not a king I'm a man Take my hand We'll make a space In the lives that we planned And here we'll stay Until it's time for you to go Yes, we're different worlds apart We're not the same We laughed and played At the start like in a game You could have stayed outside my heart But in you came And here you'll stay Until it's time for you to go Don't ask why Don't ask how Don't ask for ever, honey Love me, now This love of mine Had no beginning; it has no end I was an oak, now I'm a willow Now I can bend And though I'll never in my life see you again Still I'll stay Until it's time for you to go Don't ask why of me Don't ask how of me Don't ask forever of me, honey Love me Love me You're not a dream You're not an angel You're a woman I'm not a king I'm a man Take my hand We'll make a space In the lives that we planned And here we'll stay Until it's time for you to go |
