Stay away from the road or else I might draw flies.

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.

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,

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
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
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...
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 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...
