Leaving me girl and moving on down the road You left me many burdens such a heavy load And it sure does bring me out when I think about what went down Well the crossroads all my life it has been And I'm so afraid but now I'm trying to see I just rode on through life till I took the time to concentrate on you Well you can teach me lots lessons You can bring me a lot of gold But you just can't live in Texas If you don't have a lot of soul I'm leaving here tonight for the very last time Yes I'm leaving you babe cause now I know that you ain't mine And where you're living now you'll find out and how that you never had a friend Well you can preach me like a lesson You can bring me a lot of gold But you just can't live in Texas If you don't have a lot of soul Well I'm leaving here tonight for the very last time Yes I'm leaving you girl cause now I know that you ain't mine Some day a change will come and you'll be there beside me one more time One more time Yeah! And you'll be there beside me One more time Yes you'll be there beside me One more time
(Sonny Bono)
Well how can I be like any guy Why do they have to make me run What do they care about the clothes that I wear What do they get from making fun Well they got a lot of space And if you don't like my face It ain't me who's going anywhere Cause I don't care Let them laugh at me If that's so fair Well then I don't have to care To be free until they laugh at me And I'll cry for you And I'll pray for you And I'll do everything that the man upstairs said to do I'll do it all for you babe Yes well I'll do it all for you It's got to be sometime It's got to be somewhere I'm going to make that other cheek mine Then maybe the next time That you don't wear a silk tie And I can walk by and say hi Say hi instead of why Instead of why babe Instead of why Instead of why babe Yeah! Instead of why babe Instead of why babe Instead of why babe Instead of why babe Why do you laugh at me Why do you laugh at me Why do you laugh at me Why do you laugh at me Yeah!

I dreamt of being horses in shackles of gold And the men that were young then are now terribly old The graveyard was creaking with too many bones While the bishop was praying his cassock was sold Three cheers for the innocent though he is perverse Three screams for the hangman as he cries for the hearse I weep for the rebels conventional ways For he loses his mind while the devious stay By the way If the world saluted you Well what would you do if you could be there Well would you still take me Would you take me anywhere If the world saluted you Well what would you say when things were down Would you still want me Would you want me around So come all ye faithful and slaughter your lambs Your minds have been whipped by experienced hands I wish we were children I'd welcome the change And the mind of an old man you can't rearrange Ain't it strange If the world saluted you Well what would you do if you could be there Would you still Would you still take me anywhere If the world saluted you What would you say when things were down Would you still want me Would you still want me around

Listen woman you needn't look so stupid when I call your name out loud Cause everybody thinks you're a sweet smelling girl with intelligence and you know how I wouldn't want anyone else to know About the way you really are You're just a rock and roll queen You know what I mean And I'm just a rock and roll star Listen woman you needn't go to bed with everybody that you meet Cause everybody thinks you're a sweet little girl with intelligence in your feet I wouldn't want anyone else to know About the way you really are You're just a rock and roll queen You know what I mean And I'm just a rock and roll star Alright! You're just a rock and roll queen You know what I mean And I'm just a rock and roll star (fade)

Well the colours cross my mind in a wave And the feelings that I find so very hard to say And I've gone with the rain making out But you never felt the same you are in doubt Well You mystified me I know And then you walked by me And the spell was broken in two Too soon my eyes grow dim and I try To recognise the figures drifting by And too late the sane man comes with the key And I fight the loneliness that just ain't me And now the evening bows to the night And I feel the world go down before my eyes And recklessly I'm running round As I try to find another that ain't so proud Hey you know There's someone who seems like you in every way I'm going to search I'm going to search I'm going to search I'm going to search every day Many years ago in my past I realise my dream would never last And constantly the letters fade And I sense the better half is already played And the colours cross my mind in a wave And the feelings that I find so very hard to say And I've gone with the rain making out But you never you never felt the same you are in doubt Oh you're still in doubt
