I was doing my best Bogart, but I was having trouble getting into her jeans.
You've had to struggle, you've had to fight To keep understanding and compassion in sight You could be laughing at me, you've got the right But you go on smiling so clear and so bright
The first to come and the last to go, working for that minimum wage.
How long will it be 'till we've turned To the tasks and the skills That we'll have to have learned If we're going to find our place in the future And have something to offer Where this planet's concerned?
Rock me on the water Sister will you soothe my fevered brow Rock me on the water I'll get down to the sea somehow
How long can you hear someone crying - how long can you hear someone dying - before you ask yourself why?
Out into the cool of the evening strolls the pretender. He knows that all his hopes and dreams begin and end there.
Into a dancer you have grown from the seeds somebody else has sown
Well, I'm a standing on a cornerIn Winslow, ArizonaAnd such a fine sight to see,It's a girl, my lord, in a flatbed FordSlowin' down to have a look at me.
Take it easy, take it easyDon't let the sound of your own wheelsDrive you crazy.
Now if I seem to be afraidTo live the life that I have made in songWell it's just that I've been losing so long.
I'm Glad that the Bush years are behind us

Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels. Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields.
