unknown

oh my land is like a wild goose
Wanders all around everywhere
Trembles and it shakes til every tree is loose
It rolls the meadows and it rolls the nails
So take me down to your dance floor
And i won't mind the people when they stare
Paint a different color on your front door
And tomorrow we will still be there

Jesus built a ship to sing a song to
It sails the rivers and it sails the tide
Some of my friends don't know who they belong to
Some can't get a single thing to work inside
So take me down to your dance floor
And i won't mind the people when they stare
Paint a different color on your front door
And tomorrow we will still be there


I loved you darlin', and now i'm leaving
And i can see the sorrow in your eyes
I hope you know a lot more than you believe in
I hope the sun don't hurt you when you cry
So take me down to your dance floor
And i won't mind the people when they stare
Paint a different color on your front door
And tomorrow we will still be there
And tomorrow we will still be there

My heart is broken
My love is gone
I live without you
Your pillow cold
I am forsaken
I can't go on
My heart is broken
My love is gone

If i hadn't cheated
While you were gone
The well that we'd
Been drinkin from
Wouldn't a dried
And turned cold

My days are empty
My nights are long
Five cups of coffee
For the years gone wrong

If i hadn't cheated
While you were gone
The well that we'd
Been drinkin from
Wouldn't a dried
And turned cold

My days are empty
My nights are long
My heart is broken
My love is gone
My love is gone

Silver wings shining in the sunlight
Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight
They're taking you away
Leaving me lonely
Silver wings slowly fading out of sight

Silver wings shining in the sunlight
Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight
They're taking you away
Leaving me lonely
Silver wings slowly fading out of sight

Don't leave me i cry
Don't take that airplane ride
But you lock me outta your mind
Left me standing here behind

Silver wings shining in the sunlight
Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight
They're taking you away
Leaving me lonely
Silver wings slowly fading out of sight

Slowly fading out of sight
Slowly fading out of sight

When i see the moon, i hear the sound of the strip
Just calling my name
Just calling my name
When i see the moon, i hear the sound of the strip
Just calling my name
Yeah, it's calling my name
Man, i love the feel
When i go out
Dancing with the women at the bar
Man i love the feel
When i go out
I always know my woman's close somewhere

My daddy saw the moon, heard the sound of the strip
Yeah, it called out his name
Yeah, it called out his name
My daddy saw the moon, and heard the sound of the strip
Yeah, it called out his name
And it called his son's name too

Man i love the feel
When i go out
Dancing with the women at the bar
Man i love the feel
When i go out
I always know my woman's close somewhere
Close somewhere...

When you see the moon, hear the sound of the strip
Yeah, call out my name
Yeah, call out my name
And if you see the moon, or hear the sound of the strip
Yeah, call out my name
And call my friend's names too

Man, i love the feel
When i go out
Dancing with the women at the bar
Man i love the feel
When i go out
I always know my woman's close somewhere
Close somewhere...

I was saying let me out of here before i was even born
It's such a gamble when you get a face
It's fascinatin' to observe what the mirror does
But when i dine it's for the wall that i set a place

I belong to the blank generation and
I can take it or leave it each time
I belong to the generation but
I can take it or leave it each time

Triangles were fallin' at the window as the doctor cursed
He was a cartoon long forsaken by the public eye
The nurse adjusted her garters as i breathed my first
The doctor grabbed my throat and yelled, "god's consolation prize!"

I belong to the blank generation
I can take it or leave it each time
I belong to the generation but
I can take it or leave it each time

To hold the tv to my lips, the air so packed with cash
Then carry it up flights of stairs and drop it in the vacant lot
To lose my train of thought and fall into your arms' tracks
And watch beneath the eyelids every passing dot

I belong to the blank generation and
I can take it or leave it each time
I belong to the generation but
I can take it or leave it each time

I belong to the blank generation and
I can take it or leave it each time
I belong to the generation but
I can take it or leave it each time

Can't send no fourteen year-old boy to no school
The only thing i learned in the years i worked on my daddy's farm was,
"son, you better get them crops in when it turns cool."

In the magazines, i saw the naked women
I heard about the drinkin' and the bars
If my daddy could've caught me, he'd a-killed me
He said, "you might run, boy, but you ain't gonna get far."

I hit town or you might say that it hit me
Next mornin' there were things i knew more about

The woman who had taken me in said, "country boy, you're all right."
The same way i turned her on, she turned me out
The first law i broke, right away they got me
I helped them build the country roads for awhile
They fed me two times a day and knocked me down about four
For thirty days i didn't even crack a smile

I met a nice girl and she said i was her baby
She let me go and would never tell me why
I learned what it means to be somebody's baby
They let you lie in your bed by yourself and cry

The miles were good but the mileage is turnin' my hair gray
I've met some people that knew me and call me friend
Ain't no sense in wantin' my life to live over
I'd find different ways to make those mistakes again

So let me say this, i never tried to hurt anybody
Though i guess there's a few that i still couldn't look in the eye
If i've got one wish, i hope it rains at my funeral
For once, i'd like to be the only one dry
