Five Live

Papa was a rollin` stone

It was the third of september
That day i`ll always remember, yes i will
`cause that was the day that my daddy died

Never had a chance to see him, no
Never heard nothin` but bad things about him
Mama, i`m depending on you to tell me the truth
Mama just hung her head and said

Chorus
"papa was a rollin` stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died
All he left us was alone" (repeat)

Hey, mama, is it true what they say
That papa never worked a day in his life
Some bad talk going around sayin`
Papa had there outside children
And another wife
That ain`t right

Heard some talk about papa and his storefront
Preachin`
Talkin` about saving souls and all the time
Leaching
And dealing in dirt
Stealin` in the name of the lord

But mama she just said

Chorus

Say, i heard my papa was a jack of all trades
Is that what sent papa to an early grave?
Folks say papa would beg, borrow or steal just
To pay his bills.
Hey, mama, folks say papa was never much on thinkin`
Spent most of his time chansin` women and drinkin`
But mother, i`m depending on you to tell me the
Truth

But my mama she just said

Chorus(2x)

Calling you

A desert road from vegas to nowhere
Someplace better than where you`ve been
A coffe machine that needs some fixin`
In a little cafe just around the bend

Chorus:
I am calling you
Can`t you hear me?
I am calling you

A hot dry wind blows ight through me
The baby`s crying and i can`t sleep
But we both know that a change is coming
Come in closer, sweet release

Chorus

Desert road from vegas to nowhere

Sometimes i get the feelin`
I was back in the old days - long ago
When we were kids, when we were young
Things seemed so perfect - you know?
The days were endless, we were crazy - we were
Young
The sun was always shinin` - we just lived for fun
Sometimes it seems like lately - i just don`t know
The rest of my life`s been - just a show.

Those were the days of our lives
The bad things in life were so few
Those daays are all gone now but one thing is true-
When i look and i find, i still love you.

You can`t turn back the clock, you can`t turn
Back the tide
Ain`t that a shaame? (ain`t that a shame?)
I`d like to go back one time on a roller coaster
Ride
When life was just a game
No use sitting and thinkin` on what you did
When you can lay back and anjoy it through your
Kids
Sometimes it seems like lately i just don`t know
Better sit back and go - -with the flow

`cause these are the days of our lives
They`ve flown in the swiftness of time
These days are all gone now but some things remain
When i look and i find - no change

Those were the days of our lives
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but one thing is trrue-
When i look and i find, i still love you

I still llove you
I love you
I still love you
I still love you
I still love you
I still love you
