seven nation army i'm gonna fight 'em off a seven nation army couldn't hold me back they're gonna rip it off taking their time right behind my back and i'm talking to myself at night because i can't forget back and forth through my mind behind a cigarette and the message coming from my eyes says leave it alone don't want to hear about it every single one's got a story to tell everyone knows about it from the queen of england to the hounds of hell and if i catch it coming back my way i'm gonna serve it to you and that ain't what you want to hear but that's what i'll do and a feeling coming from my bones says find a home i'm going to wichita far from this opera forevermore i'm gonna work the straw make the sweat drip out of every pore and i'm bleeding, and i'm bleeding, and i'm bleeding right before the lord all the words are gonna bleed from me and i will think no more and the stains coming from my blood tell me "go back home"

georgia on my mind georgia, georgia the whole day through just an old sweet song keeps that georgia on my mind georgia, georgia a song of you comes bright and clear as moonlight through the pines other arms reach out for me other eyes smile tenderly still in peaceful dreams i see the road leads back to you georgia, georgia no peace i find just an old sweet song keeps georgia on my mind

it was a very good year when i was seventeen it was a very good year it was a very good year for small town girls and soft summer nights we'd hide from the lights on the village green when i was seventeen when i was twenty-one it was a very good year it was a very good year for city girls who lived up the stair with all that perfumed hair and it came undone when i was twenty-one when i was thirty-five it was a very good year it was a very good year for blue-blooded girls of independent means we'd ride in limousines their chauffeurs would drive when i was thirty-five but now the days grow short i'm in the autumn of the year and now i think of my life as vintage wine from fine old kegs from the brim to the dregs and it poured sweet and clear it was a very good year

blues say goodbye dean/ewbank music mint bmi it’s cold in my bed when you go away the sun disappears and the sky turns gray sad caller comes over whenever you go when you say goodbye the blues say hello i try to shake’m make’m go home blues just don’t get it – won’t leave me alone bothers and bugs me as i walk down the street follows me places where we used to meet and this blues has a grip that won’t let go like a cryin’ old drunk in a world full of woe he’s got to tell his story got to tell it one more time and if i hear it again i’m gonna lose my mind lovers will quarrel and break love apart and say all the cruel things that fracture a heart but i can’t stop believing all the love we had was real i just can’t deny all the things that i feel so hurry back lover ‘cause three is a crowd and when we’re together you know the blues ain’t allowed bring back the sun and the sky blue sky when you say hello the blues say goodbye

you make me feel so young you make me feel so young you make me feel like spring has sprung every time i see you grin im such a happy individual the moment that you speak i want to go and play hide-and-seek i want to go and bounce the moon just like a toy balloon you and i, are just like a couple of tots running across the meadow picking up lots of forget-me-nots you make me feel so young you make me feel there are songs to be sung bells to be rung, wonderful flings to be flung and even when im old and gray i’m gonna feel the way i do today ’cause you make me feel so young

going to california spend my days with a woman unkind, smoke my stuff and drink - all my wine. made up my mind to make a new start, going to california with an aching - in my heart someone told me there's a girl out there with love in her eyes and flowers - in her hair took my chances on a big jet plane, never let ‘em tell you that they're a-l-l the same. the sea was red and the sky was grey; i wonder how tomorrow - could ever follow today. mountains and the canyons start to tremble and shake children of the sun begin to awake. seems that the wrath of the gods got a punch on the nose and it started to flow; i think i might be sinking. throw me a line if i reach it in time i'll meet you up there where the path runs straight and high. to find a queen without a king, they say she plays guitar and cries - and sings... ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born. standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams, telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems.

i ain’t got nothin’ but the blues ain't got the change of a nickel ain't got no bounce in my shoes ain't go no fancy to tickle i ain't got nothing but the blues ain't got no coffee that's perking ain't got no winnings to lose ain't got a dream that is working i ain't got nothing but the blues when trumpets flare up i keep my hair up i just can't make it come down believe me pappy i can't get happy since my ever loving baby left town ain't got no rest in my slumber ain't got no feelings to bruise ain't got no telephone number i ain't got nothing but the blues
