Out in the country, gravel road a-ramble all around.

And the dust blow up til the cool rain tumble down.

I m a redwing blackbird sit singin on the fence.

Say it s OK all day, but nobody seems convinced.

I m a little old pasture creek; they got no name for me.
I m a little pasture creek, got no name for me.
When I grow up, I m gonna be the Mississippi.

I m a farmer s long shiny car runnin out of gas.

And the bikes and the tracks and the mopeds whizzin past.

I m a chick-chickie-chicken peckin in the corn.

My mama says I was round when I was born.
(But I don t believe that.)

I m a little old raccoon; I got candles in my eyes.
I m a little raccoon, I got candles in my eyes.
Stay away from the road or else I might draw flies.
(Just lyin there.)

Out in the country, gravel road a-ramble all around.

And the farm get bigger and the old home place fall down.

I m a grain elevator white as a china dish.

Tall as a satellite, fat as an old catfish.

I m a July cornfield far as you can see.

And if you real careful, you can walk on top of me.
(Ah, you got to believe though. Now first you get your one foot up there,
and then you gotta get your other foot up there. Easy now...oops, you
didn t believe.)

I m a cool farm pond on a day about a hundred and ten.

I m cool, I m round, I m ready, so come on in.

I m a river valley; I used to be a mountain top.

Once you go down, brother, it s hard to stop.

Cool rain tumblin , cool rain tumblin , cool rain tumblin ....
and a cool rain, and a cool rain, tumblin ...

    The impossible dream

    To dream the impossible dream
    to fight the unbeatable foe
    to bear with unbearable sorrow
    to run where the brave dare not go

    to right the unrightable wrong
    to love pure and chased from afar
    to try when your arms are to weary
    to reach the unreachable star

    Tonight

    Where are you going
    They say you never know
    But I remember laughing
    Wherever I d go
    A flirt or a flame or a friend or a fight

    Can t come home now Mom
    Cause anything might happen tonight

    Well your...

    Waiting for my time

    Waiting for my time
    Sick and tired of working hard
    Sick and tired if struggling
    Sick and tired ofslaving my days
    And i still don t have a fucking thing
    Feels like i m stuck and i can t get ahead
    The things i want i just can t seem to get
    My dreams keep going down...

    Created

    Oh she likes to hide
    Underneath the biggest rock she can find
    Dig as deep down into the earth as she can
    To try and replant her mind...

    Could I ve done something
    Could I have, could I ve done something
    Could I have, could I ve done something
    That s what they always say

    But it s...

    I never liked you

    I m sick of this dirty dress
    I m thinking I might do less, now
    There s something I must confess, to you
    You know how everydays
    The same old everyways, well
    I ve got a secret to tell
    I can t contain it anymore
    Who s knocking at your door?

    Hey! Surprise!
    I never liked you, even when...
