Wildflowers

It's good to be king, if just for a while
To be there in velvet, yeah, to give 'em a smile
It's good to get high, and never come down
It's good to be king of your own little town

Yeah the world would swing if i were king
Can i help it if i still dream time to time

It's good to be king and have your own way
Get a feeling of peace at the end of the day
And when your bulldog barks and your canary sings
You're out there with winners, it's good to be king

Yeah, i'll be king when dogs have wings
Can i help it if i still dream time to time

It's good to be king and have your own world
It helps to make friends, it's good to meet girls
A sweet little queen, who can't run away
It's good to be king, whatever it pays

Excuse me if i have some place in my mind
Where i go time to time

Come on go with me babe
Come on go with me girl
Baby, let's go
T o the cabin down below

I got a radio
Put in on soft and low
Baby lets go
To the cabin down below

Well, i've had my eye on you
For a long, long time
I'm watching every thing you do
Baby, you're gonna be mine

Come on go with me babe
Come on go with me girl
Baby, let's go
To the cabin down below

Time's been moving slow
Since we both got here
Come on slide a little closer
Let me whisper in your ear

Well i got a radio
Put in on soft and low
Baby lets go
To the cabin down below
Oh, baby, let's go
To the cabin down below
Baby, let's love
In the cabin down below

It's all i can do
To keep that little girl smiling
And keep my faith alive
Takes all i got to hold on to tomorrow

And you want to make it hard
Yeah, you want to make it hard on me

Some other time
I'd be understanding
You were supposed to be
The friend that i needed when i was down and now

You want to make it hard
You want to make it hard on me

Maybe if i tried, i could turn the other cheek
Maybe, but how big do i have to be

Now you want to make it hard
Yeah, you want to make it hard on me

Maybe if i tried, i could turn the other cheek
Maybe, but how big do i have to be

I need someone
To put their arm around me
Shelter me from all harm
Just as i find something to believe in

You want to make it har d
You want to make it hard on me
Yeah, you want to make it hard
You want to make it hard on me

You belong among the wildflowers
You belong in a boat out at sea
Sail away, kill off the hours
You belong somewhere you feel free

Run away, find you a lover
Go away somewhere all bright and new
I have seen no other
Who compares with you

You belong among the wildflowers
You belong in a boat out at sea
You belong with your love on your arm
You belong somewhere you feel free

Run away, go find a lover
Run away, let your heart be your guide
You deserve the deepest of cover
You belong in that home by and by

You belong among the wildflowers
You belong somewhere close to me
Far away from your trouble and worries
You belong somewhere you feel free
You belong somewhere you feel free

I remember you so clearly
The first one through the door
I return to find you drifting
Too far from the shore

I remember feeling this way
You can lose it without knowing
You wake up and you don't notice
Which way the wind is blowing

Don't fade
Don't fade on me

You were the one who made things different
You were the one who took me in
You were the one thing i could count on
Above all you were my friend

Don't fade
Don't fade on me

Well your clothes hang on a wire
And the sun is overhead
But today you are too weary
To even leave your bed

Was it love that took you under?
Or did you know too much?
Was it something you could picture?
But never could quite touch?

Don't fade
Don't fade on me

It's time to move on, time to get going
What lies ahead i have no way of knowing
But under my feet, baby, grass is growing
It's time to move on, it' s time to get going

Broken skyline, movin' through the airport
She's an honest defector
Conscientious objector
Now her own protector

Broken skyline, which way to love land
Which way to something better
Which way to fo rgiveness
Which way do, i go

It's time to move on, time to get going
What lies ahead i have no way of knowing
But under my feet, baby, grass is growing
It's time to move on, it's time to get going

Sometime later, getting the words wrong
Wasting the meaning, and losing the rhyme
Nauseous adrenaline
Like breakin' up a dog fight
Like a deer in the headlights
Frozen in real time
I'm losing my mind

It's time to move on, time to get going
Wh at lies ahead i have no way of knowing
But under my feet, baby, grass is growing
It's time to move on, it's time to get going

You follow your feelings, you follow your d reams
You follow the leader into the trees
And what's in there waiting, neither one of us knows
You gotta keep one eye open the further you go
You never dreamed you'd go down on one knee, but now
Who could have seen, you'd be so hard t o please somehow
You feel like a poor boy, a long way from home
You're just a poor boy, a long way from home

And its wake up time
Time to open up your eyes
And rise and shine

You spend you life dreaming, running around in a trance
You hang out forever and still miss the dance
And if you get lucky, you might find someone
To help you get over the pain that will come
Yeah, you were so cool back in high school, what happened
You were sure not to have your spirits dampened
But you're just a poor boy alone in this world
You're just a poor boy alone in this world

And its wake up time
Time to open up your eyes
And rise and shine

Well, if he gets lucky, a boy finds a girl
T o help him to shoulder the pain in this world
And if you follow your feelings and you follow your dreams
You might find the forest there in the trees
Yeah, you'll be alright, it's gonna take time, but now
Who could have seen you'd be so ha rd to please somehow
You're just a poor boy, a long way from home
You're just a poor boy, a long way from home

And its wake up time
Time to open up your eyes
And rise and shine

Cause it's wake up time
Time to open up your eyes
And rise and shine

Waiting by the side of the road
For day to break so we could go
Down into los angeles
With dirty hands and worn out knees

I keep crawling back to you
I keep crawling back t o you

The ranger came with burning eyes
The chambermaid awoke surprised
Thought she'd seen the last of him
She shook her head and let him in

Hey baby, there's something in your eyes
Tryin' to say to me
That i'm gonna be alright if i believe in you
It's all i want to do

It was me and my sidekick
He was drunk and i was sick
We were caught up in a barroom fight
Till an indian shot out the lights

I'm so tired of being tired
Sure as ni ght will follow day
Most things i worry about
Never happen anyway

I keep crawling back to you
I keep crawling back to you

In the mid dle of his life
He left his wife
And ran off to be bad
Boy, it was sad

But he bought a new car
Found a new bar
And went under another name
Created a whole new game

And the days went by like paper in the wind
E verything changed, then changed again
It's hard to find a friend
It's hard to find a friend

Meanwhile then
His wife's boyfriend moved in and
Took over the house
Everybody was as quiet as a mouse
And it changed their lives
Changed their plans
Slowly they grew apart
Boy, it woulda broke your heart

And the days went by like paper in the wind
Everything changed, then changed again
It's hard to find a friend
It's hard to find a friend

A nd the days went by like paper in the wind
Everything changed, then changed again
It's hard to find a friend
It's hard to find a friend

And the days went by like paper in the wind
Everything changed, then changed again
It's ha rd to find a friend
It's hard to find a friend

Let me run with you tonight
I'll take you on a moonlight ride
There's someone i used to see
But she don't give a damn for me

But let me get to the point, let's roll another joint
And tu rn the radio loud, i'm too alone to be proud
You don't know how it feels
You don't know how it feels to be me

People come, people go
Some grow young, some grow cold
I woke up in between
A memory and a dream

So let's get to the point, let's roll another joint
Let's head on down the road
There's somewhere i gotta go
And you don't know how it feels
You don't know how it feels to be me

My old man was born to rock
He's still tryin' to beat the clock
Think of me what you will
I got a little space to fill

So let's get to the point, let's roll another joint
Let's head on down the road
There's somewhere i gotta go
And you don't know how it feels
No, you don't know how it feels to be me
