Sunshine blue skies please go away
The girl has found another and gone away. With her went my future my life is filled with gloom So day after day I stay locked up in my room. I know to you, it might sound strange but I wish it would rain, Cause so badly I wanna go outside But everyone knows that a man ain't supposed to cry Listen, I gotta cry 'cause crying eases the pain, Oh yeah, people this hurt I feel inside. Words could never explain, I just wish it would rain. Day in day out my tear-stained face Pressed against the window pain, My eyes search the skies desperately for rain, Cause rain-drops will hide my tear -drops And no one will ever know that I'm crying, Crying when I go outside. To the world outside my tears, I refuse to explain, oh I wish it would rain, let it rain, let it rain. I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes. Oh, let it rain. I'm a man and I got my pride Til' it rains I'm gonna stay inside and let it rain. ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By STRONG, BARRETT/WHITFIELD, NORMAN J./PENZABENE, RODGER, SR. <i>Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing</i> |

Ooooohhhhh, oooooooohhhhhh....
Each day through my window, I watch her as she passes by I say to myself, "You're such a lucky guy" To have a girl like her is truly a dream come true Out of all the fellas in the world, she belongs to you But it was just my imagination, Running away with me... It was just my imagination, Running away with me... Oooohhhhhhh, (So) So we'll be married and raise a family, (Oh yeah) A cozy little home out in the country, with two children, maybe three I tell you, I - - - can visualize it all This couldn't be a dream, for too real it all seems But it was just my imagination (Once again), Running away with me... Tell you it was just my imagination, Running away with me... Every night on my knees I pray, Dear Lord, hear my plea, Don't ever let another take her love from me or I will surely die... (Mmmm) Her love is....heavenly When her arms enfold me I hear a tender rhapsody But in reality, She doesn't even know me... Just my imagination (Once again), Running away with me... Tell you it was just my imagination, Running away with me... (I'll never get her, but I can't forget her) Just my imagination (Ooohh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah), Running away with me... It was just my imagination, Running away with me... (repeat to fade) |

It was the third of September
That day I'll always remember, yes I will Cause that was the day, that my daddy died I never got a chance to see him Never heard nothin' but bad things about him "Momma I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth" And Momma just hung her head and said... "Son, Papa was a rolling stone, (my son) Wherever he laid his hat was his home (And when he died) All he left us was alone Papa was a rolling stone, (my son) Wherever he laid his hat was his home (And when he died) All he left us was alone Well, well" "Hey Momma, is it true what they say, That Papa never worked a day in his life? And Momma, some bad talk goin' round town sayin' that Papa had three outside children and another wife, and that ain't right Heard them talking Papa doing some store front preachin' Talked about saving souls and all the time leeching Dealing in debt, and stealing in the name of the Lord" Momma just hung her head and said... "Papa was a rolling stone, (my son) Wherever he laid his hat was his home (And when he died) All he left us was alone Hey, Papa was a rolling stone, (my son) Wherever he laid his hat was his home (And when he died) All he left us was alone Uh" "Hey Momma, I heard Papa called himself a jack of all trades Tell me, is that what sent Papa to an early grave? Folks say Papa would beg, borrow, steal to pay his bills Hey Momma, folks say that Papa never was much on thinking Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking Momma I'm depending on you to tell me the truth" And Momma looked up with a tear in her eye and said... "Son, Papa was a rolling stone (my son) (Well, well, well, well) Wherever he laid his hat was his home (And when he died) All he left us was alone Lone, lone, lone, alone Papa was a rolling stone (my son) Wherever he laid his hat was his home (And when he died) All he left us was alone I said, Papa was a rolling stone (my son) Wherever he laid his hat was his home (And when he died) All he left us was alone.." |

That day I'll always remember, yes I will Cause that was the day, that my daddy died I never got a chance to see him Never heard nothin' but bad things about him "Momma I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth" And Momma just hung her head and said... "Son, Papa was a rolling stone, (my son) Wherever he laid his hat was his home (And when he died) All he left us was alone Papa was a rolling stone, (my son) Wherever he laid his hat was his home (And when he died) All he left us was alone Well, well" "Hey Momma, is it true what they say, That Papa never worked a day in his life? And Momma, some bad talk goin' round town sayin' that Papa had three outside children and another wife, and that ain't right Heard them talking Papa doing some store front preachin' Talked about saving souls and all the time leeching Dealing in debt, and stealing in the name of the Lord" Momma just hung her head and said... "Papa was a rolling stone, (my son) Wherever he laid his hat was his home (And when he died) All he left us was alone Hey, Papa was a rolling stone, (my son) Wherever he laid his hat was his home (And when he died) All he left us was alone Uh" "Hey Momma, I heard Papa called himself a jack of all trades Tell me, is that what sent Papa to an early grave? Folks say Papa would beg, borrow, steal to pay his bills Hey Momma, folks say that Papa never was much on thinking Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking Momma I'm depending on you to tell me the truth" And Momma looked up with a tear in her eye and said... "Son, Papa was a rolling stone (my son) (Well, well, well, well) Wherever he laid his hat was his home (And when he died) All he left us was alone Lone, lone, lone, alone Papa was a rolling stone (my son) Wherever he laid his hat was his home (And when he died) All he left us was alone I said, Papa was a rolling stone (my son) Wherever he laid his hat was his home (And when he died) All he left us was alone.." |

Smiling faces sometimes pretend to be your friend
Smiling faces show no traces of the evil that lurks within (Can you dig it?) Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes, they don't tell the truth Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies and I got proof Let me tell ya The truth is in the eyes, but the eyes don't lie Amen Remember a smile is just a frown turned upside-down My friend, so hear me when I'm sayin' Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes, they don't tell the truth Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies and I got proof Beware Beware of the handshake that hides the snake Can you dig it, can you dig it? I'm telling you Beware Beware of a pat on the back It just might hold you back Jealousy (jealousy) Misery (misery) Envy (envy) I tell you, you can't see behind Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes, they don't tell the truth Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies and I got proof Your enemy won't do you no harm 'Cause you know where he's coming from Don't let the handshake and the smile fool ya Take my advice, I'm only trying to school ya Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes, they don't tell the truth Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies and I got proof Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes... |

War-huh
What is it good for? Absolutely nothing Say it again War-huh What is it good for? Absolutely nothing Yeah War-I despise 'Cos it means destruction Of innocent lives War means tears To thousands of mothers how When their sons go off to fight And lose their lives I said War-huh It's an enemy of all mankind No point of war 'Cos you're a man *(Repeat) Give it to me one time-now Give it to me one time-now War has shattered Many young men's dreams We've got no place for it today They say we must fight to keep our freedom But Lord, there's just got to be a better way It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker War Friend only to the undertaker War War War-Good God, now Now Give it to me one time now Now now What is it good for? |
