Happiness hit me on the first day that we met
She was sitting in my kitchen with a face I can't forget
She was looking in my direction and calling with her eyes
I was trying to do and interview and telling them all lies
Last year in the summer with a tiffany lamp over her head

They asked me what I thought about the 50's rock n roll
Then they got into a limousine and fell into a hole
I moved into the kitchen and I quickly fell in love
The warden came along and asked me what I was thinking of
Last year in the summer with a tiffany lamp over her head

Well I grabbed her by the hand and with a few things I could
The warden said your leaving you better leave for good
I made it to Tasmania to buy a devil dog
We met a handsome prince who turned into a frog
Last year in the summer with a tiffany lamp over her head

Now we're living out in Malibu the ocean by our side
Laying in the sunshine drifting with the tide
Happiness hit me on the first day that we met
She was sitting in my kitchen with a face I can't forget
Last year in the summer with a tiffany lamp over her head

Over her head

Well you think you've got it bad
And you think that you've been had
Well you never were so wrong
If you just listen to this song
Your debts will all be doubled
Iffin' you all be so troubled
You never gonna help your brother
If you can't help yourself

* Get down your line
Get down your line
Get down your line
Get down your line
And you'll be just fine
Get down your line
And don't waste no time
Then you can give everyday that you live

Well, get yourself together
Don't ever mind the weather
Then you can help your neighbour
And help him with his labor
If you get yourself together
Then giving is so much pleasure
It makes your life a treasure
If you can do someone some good

Get down your line
Get down your line
Get down your line
Get down your line
And you'll be just fine
Get down your line
And don't waste no time
Then you can give everyday that you live

Tempted and tried we're oft made to wonder
Why it should be thus all the day long,
While there are others living about us,
Never molested tho' in the wrong.

Farther along we'll know all about it,
Farther along we'll understand why;
Cheer up, my brother, come sing in the sunshine
We'll understand it all by and by.

When death has come and taken our loved ones,
It leaves our home so lonely and drear;
Then do we wonder why others prosper
Living so wicked year after year.

Farther along ...

Faithful till death said our loving, Master,
A few more days to labor and wait;
Toils of the road will then seem as nothing,
When we sweep thru that beautiful gate.

Farther along ...

When we see Jesus coming in glory,
When He comes from His home in the sky;
Then we shall meet Him in that bright mansion,
We'll understand it all by and by.

Farther along ...

We're driving down the highway seven days a week
Looking for a number one looking rather bleak
Well I'm a roadie what a job being a roadie
I'm a roadie B.B. Class Road
I get them to the gig on time it's not so hard to do
They only way to break a crime speeding is the thing to do
Well I'm a roadie what a job being a roadie
I'm a roadie B.B. Class Road

Well I'm really really really really tired today
I've been checking my gear all night
You know what they're all gonna say
Someday you're gonna miss a flight
Well I'm a roadie here today and truckin all the same
I'm a roadie B.B. Class Road B.B. Class Road B.B. Class Road

Back when Cattle Creek used to sing
Its waters were sweet and its banks were green
And sunny days went on forever
Me and ol' Bugler we went wild
A blue tick hound and redneck child
We thought we were birds of a feather
Ah the fish would bite, my how they'd fight
We'd catch them possums in the pale moonlight
For Nola, just to please her
Bugler's voice like Gabriel's horn
Up in the cypress and down through the corn
Golden sounds, yes to treasure
Bugler, Bugler, bless your hide
Jesus gonna take you for a chariot ride
Say goodbye, say goodbye
One day Nola, she brought the news, she said,
I hear young Bugler's done paid his dues,
He's been hit down, yes on that highway
Dry your eyes and stand up straight
Bugler's got a place at the pearly gates
Say goodbye sugar, ah, say goodbye
Bugler, Bugler, bless your hide
Jesus gonna take you for a chariot ride
Say goodbye, say goodbye

One of America's great national pastimes is drinking a coke
Taking a smoke telling a joke
One of America's great national pastimes is playing ball
Taking it all and thinking so small
But the great taste of coke has refreshed players
The hot and tired the weary and the sore
But the great taste of coke has refreshed players
The hot and tired the weary and the sore
One of America's great national pastimes is chocolate fudge
Carrying a grudge bribing a judge
One of America's great national pastimes is poisoning rain
Acting insane inflicting pain
But the great taste of coke has refreshed players
The hot and tired the weary and the sore
But the great taste of coke has refreshed players
The hot and tired the weary and the sore
One of America's great national pastimes is the worship of speed
Planting the seeds taking more than she needs
One of America's great national pastime is cutting the grass
Grabbing some ass living too fast
But the great taste of coke has refreshed players
The hot and tired the weary and the sore
But the great taste of coke has refreshed players
The hot and tired the weary and the sore

Antique Sandy lived in the woods
And she'd go to the stream when the weather was good
She'd take down the washin for her old man to wear
And she tried not to get eaten by the bear
She'd fly to the market in her worn out old balloon
That she traded with the flyer for an antique silver spoon
And when she got home she'd cook upon the wooden stove
And she'd go to sleep and listen to the whispers of the grove
At night she dreamed of places where she lived when she was young
Where the corn strip stretched for miles like a giant serpent's tongue
Electric lights and phone bells and every light insane (?)
Like a hundred thousand hungry miles meeting at her brain

SOLO

I greet her in the morning when she wakes up in my arms
And I tell her that I love her and I'll keep her free from harm
I hold her close she matters she is all the world to me
Cause she's my Antique Sandy and she's in love with me

Get up sing your praises from the bottom of my heart
I see your smiling face every time I turn around
You're a changing lady with so many mystic moods
No wonder that I love you the way I seem to do

Precious Kate, it's our fate
to meet inside the center of a Californian earthquake

It is my desire to capture all your love
Giving you the happiness you can only get from above
I love beeing near you and how I love to hear you
and I'd be the man you'd have to send away

Precious Kate...

Perhaps I want you too much, at times I tried too hard
But I've been lonely so long, my soul is near to starve
You do what you want to do, don't want it end up here
Just wanna say I love you, that's what you want to hear

So fine, so fine
So fine yeah, my baby's so doggone fine
She sends cold chills up and down my spine
oh oh, yeah yeah, so fine

She thrills me, she thrills me
She thrills me yeah,
She thrills me come rain or shine
She sends cold chills up and down my spine
oh oh, yeah yeah, so fine

Well I know that she loves me so
Well I know because my baby tells me so

So fine, so fine
So fine yeah, my baby's so doggone fine
She sends cold chills up and down my spine
oh oh, yeah yeah, so fine

When I was young I'd go down by the river
Just about a mile from my home a million miles from everyone
My eyes could see older as my ears could hear your song
Oh to be wild again get back to your lazy waters
Never needed anyone but you
Oh little boys are strange no one knows they have magic
I kept it in my pocket concealed from everyone
But I climbed the highest tree to sing a bird my song
Oh to be wise again get back to your lazy waters
Never needed anyone but you
We moved to the city I said I wouldn't mind thought you'd stay inside me
It's easy when your young
But as we rode away I knew you were gone
Oh to be wise again get back to your lazy waters
Never needed anyone but you

Well I just came up on the midnight special how about that
My car broke down in Texas she stopped dead in her tracks
Just called to tell you that I need you
Just called to tell you how I feel
I feel like some old engine lost my drivin wheel
Feel like some old engine lost my drivin wheel
Took my money on the night train what a terrible fight
I gave my promise I would be there with you by Saturday night
I wanna tell you that I need you baby
I need to tell you just how I feel
I feel like some old engine lost my drivin wheel
Feel like some old engine lost my drivin wheel
Can't say much in a phone call baby you know how it is
I have to tell you one short thing oh won't you listen to this
I want to tell you that I love you baby
I want to tell you just how I feel
I feel like some old engine lost my drivin wheel
Feel like some old engine lost my drivin wheel

Some people born in old Kentucky
They think they're living in a tunnel mine of coal
Other people born not quite so lucky
Giving everything by selling out their soul

I know that everybody's born for something
Just to feed them and keep them from the cold
Sometimes you get to do the things your meant to
And I know that I was born to rock n roll

Born to rock n roll satify your soul gonna rock n roll satisfy your soul
Gonna rock n roll satisfy your soul gonna rock n roll satisy your soul
Gonna rock n roll satisfy your soul

Always wanted to be a fireman just to steer the hook and ladder from behind
Then I thought I'd be a great inventor
But I found it might be too hard on my mind

I know that everybody's born for something
Just to feed them and to keep them it's all in the cards you hold
Yes I said I believe in magic and I believe that I was born to rock n roll

Born to rock n roll satify your soul gonna rock n roll satisfy your soul
Gonna rock n roll satisfy your soul gonna rock n roll satisy your soul
Gonna rock n roll satisfy your soul (Repeat to end)

Floating I'm floating on down through the sky
Never had no ambition to learn how to fly
I'll be glad when it's over and ready to land
with this bag full of money I've got in my hand

Oh I grew up believing in Jesse and Frank
cause I never had nothin' or noone to thank
and I came pretty close to unloadin' a bank
but I was saved by my draft board who made me a yank

Floating I'm floating...

And in the 101st they busted your hump
but they taught me a man isn't always a chump
In the course of Korea I learned how to jump
In the card game of life I was holding a trump

Floating I'm floating...

If you can't get a job and they think you're insane
If the years of your youth have been washed down the drain
And you wake up some mornin? with nothin' but pain
It was then I decided to grab me a plane

Floating I'm floating...

With all of my training it wasn't too tough
Now I'm through taking orders and all of their guff
Gonna buy a Rolls Royce and some luxury stuff
Cause a veteran's pension ain?t nearly enough

Floating I'm floating...
