Flyin’ High Oh yeah Yeah Woh oh…. Well I got up early this mornin’ And had a song come to my mind Yes and the woman I had was grinnin’ Sez I didn’t have the time Too many people keep hangin’ on my back door Yes and they’re always askin’ me Can I have a little more Aww you know what I got to say ‘bout that Ohh keep runnin’ baby All my dreams are sorrow Sometimes they’re hard to bear Lawd when I think about tomorrow Woh why should I care Well I’m always into something Yes you know that’s right Well everybody’s always running Time to take a free ride And I feel like I’m Like I’m flyin’ high (Flyin’ high) And I feel like I’m so Lawd I’m so damn high And it seems like that day Just ain’t ever gonna come (Seems like I’m always on the run) Well I never sing alone And I love to be the star And travellin’ on the road Has left it’s battle scars Well I feel my world is movin’ Lawd It’s just around the bend My song was born on the highway And that’s where it’s gonna end And I feel like I’m Like I’m flyin’ high (Flyin’ high) And I feel like I’m so Lawd I’m so damn high And it seems like that day Just ain’t ever gonna come (Seems like I’m always on the run) |

Island of Life Oooh lord no Goddamn When your world is passing you by You’re feelin’ getting late You want to find a key that will open up Those silver gates You keep thinkin’ that I gave it up And in every little way Here I come again Oooh doncha’ know Wind blows across the sand And there’s a sleepin’ haze Seems ‘most like it always has And I think of better days Oh and last year about this time I got myself a daze The island that I was searchin’ for Was just a breeze away Keep thinkin’ that I shook it off And in every little way Whatcha think I don’t know no better Oh oh doncha’ know There’s a reason to see There’s a reason to life But our heart’s in your hand You hardly know it’s alive Ahhh Wahoo Sing a song of seven years And I sing a song of my way I sing a song oh baby for you Show you how I play I keep thinkin’ that I’ll wake up And find myself alone On an island full of promises Standin’ all on my own You keep thinkin’ that I gave it up And in every little way Here I come again Doncha’ know Ooooh Yeahhh |
