You're as close to heaven as I'll ever be.
It's a cold bowl of chili when love lets you down.
Look at mother nature on the run in the 1970's.
I see a woman in the night with a baby in her hand, under an old street light near a garbage can.
The rockets and the satellites, spaceships that we're creating now, we're pollinating the universe.
True love opens the gates of time.
I like to play with people who can play simple and are not threatened by other musicians thinking they can't play. And that eliminates 99 percent of the musicians.
I've seen the needle And the damage done A little part of it in everyone But every junkie's Like a settin' sun.
You can't be 20 on Sugar Mountain.
In a Ramada Inn near the grapevine, they stop to rest for the night. Traveling down south, looking for good times. Visiting old friends feels right.
Everybody seems to wonder what it's like down here. I gotta get away from this day-to-day running around. Everybody knows this is nowhere.
Most people think it's the other way around: that time is going faster and we're doing less. But really time seems to be going faster because we're cramming so much into it.
Tin soldiers and Nixon coming, We're finally on our own. This summer I hear the drumming, Four dead in Ohio.
I was just 20 years old when I wrote Broken Arrow.
