Living on the riverside, I'm taking life like a big long ride You stay on your side and I'll stay on mine You take what you want and I'll take the sunshine Dit dit dit dit do ... Ah--, ah-- I said the world don't owe me no living I said the world don't owe me no living I said the world don't owe me no living I said the world don't owe me no living |

Chewing on a piece of grass
Walking down the road Tell me, how long you gonna stay here Joe? Some people say this town don't look good in snow You don't care, I know Ventura Highway, in the sunshine Where the days are longer The nights are stronger Than moonshine You're gonna go, I know 'Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair And the days surround your daylight there Seasons crying no despair Alligator lizards in the air Wishin' on a falling star Waitin' for the early train Sorry boy, but I've been hit by a purple rain Aw, come on Joe, you can always change your name Thanks a lot son, just the same Ventura Highway in the sunshine Where the days are longer The nights are stronger Than moonshine You're gonna go, I know 'Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair And the days surround you daylight there Seasons crying no despair Alligator lizards in the air In the air |

I never believed in things that I couldn't see
I said if I can't feel it then how can it be No, no magic could happen to me And then I saw you I couldn't believe it, you took my heart I couldn't retrieve it, said to myself What's it all about Now I know there can be no doubt You can do magic You can have anything that you desire Magic, and you know You're the one who can put out the fire You know darn well When you cast your spell you will get your way When you hypnotize with your eyes A heart of stone can turn to clay And when the rain is beatin' upon the window pane And when the night, it gets so cold, when I can't sleep Again you come to me I hold you tight, the rain disappears Who would believe it With a word you dry my tears You can do magic You can have anything that you desire Magic, and you know You're the one who can put out the fire You know darn well When you cast your spell you will get your way When you hypnotize with your eyes A heart of stone can turn to clay And if I wanted to I could never be free I never believed it was so true But now it's so clear to me You can do magic You can have anything that you desire Magic, and you know You're the one who can put out the fire You know darn well When you cast your spell you will get your way When you hypnotize with your eyes A heart of stone can turn to clay |

In this bookcase full of stories
You find some of them are true Tales of love and glory Many lives of daring-do There is mystery and adventure They lie waiting there for you So step inside and find the other you Take the high road tomorrow But the low road today Reading other's sorrow Might just be the only way The father hears confession While the mother's feeling blue These characters do what you want them to In these pages we consume Lives in many colors lovers in full bloom And through the ages words are born Speaking to the senses lifting the forlorn There's glamour and dementia A message from the tomb Staircase to the heavens And secrets in the room When you are riding on that dark horse To the one that got away There's no regrets and no dues left to pay 'Cause in these pages we consume Lives in many colors lovers in full bloom And through the ages words are born Speaking to the senses lifting the forlorn Drifting down the river of the make believe We laugh and grieve Hoping for an ending of our own design Where all is fine In these pages we consume Lives in many colors lovers in full bloom And through the ages words are born Speaking to the senses lifting the forlorn In these pages we consume Lives in many colors lovers in full bloom And through the ages words are born...

Albuquerque will be there in the morning
Purple mountains will rise up from the floor After that you can just lift up the curtain And the whole world will be there at your door Down the road you see the heat waves a waving All the signs are telling you where to go And for you, this is a bold invitation It's all you need, you don't need any more Those wheels are turning once again Now the sun is rising out of the ocean Diesel trucks are flying by on the shore Yes that's your spirit inside you just waiting It's time to move, now that much you must know Step outside and take a breath of the morning (step outside the door) And the wind will tell you which way to go You are the needle on the compass for certain The missing map has come back to your door Those wheels are turning once again Thunder in the canyon waking up the night (waking up the night) Black crow with an indigo glow on the highway Albuquerque will be there in the morning Purple mountains will rise up from the floor After that you can just lift up that curtain And the whole world will be there at your door Those wheels are turning once again Thunder in the canyon waking up the night (waking up the night) Black crow with an indigo glow on the highway Barking in the canyon waking up the night Black crow with an indigo glow on the highway Those wheels are turning once again They've always been your truest friend |

Sometimes late when things are real
And people share the gift of gab between themselves Some are quick to take the bait And catch the perfect prize that waits among the shelves But Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man That he didn't, didn't already have And Cause never was the reason for the evening Or the tropic of Sir Galahad. So please believe in me When I say I'm spinning round, round, round, round Smoke glass stain bright color Image going down, down, down, down Soapsuds green like bubbles Oh, Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man That he didn't, didn't already have And Cause never was the reason for the evening Or the tropic of Sir Galahad So please believe in me When I say I'm spinning round, round, round, round Smoke glass stain bright color Image going down, down, down, down Soapsuds green like bubbles No, Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man That he didn't, didn't already have And Cause never was the reason for the evening Or the tropic of Sir Galahad So please believe in me |

I've seen the Ides of March
And I've seen the fall of Rome I've seen all kinds of stuff But I never see my home If my life-line is These million miles of track One thing I know by now There is no turning back From a moving train From a moving train From a moving train From a moving train If every venture was A path to no avail I'd still be rolling down This never ending trail If we had a destination In our sights We would be helpless as We passed it in the night From a moving train (hear the engine running) From a moving train (you can get on board) From a moving train (hear the motor humming) From a moving train (see, you've gotta see the light) And if by chance you find a woman That you might love along the way You better hold her tight Tell her everything's alright Or she might jump along the way From a moving train (hear the engine running) From a moving train (you can get on board) From a moving train (hear the motor humming) From a moving train (see, you've gotta see the light) From a moving train (hear the engine running) From a moving train (you can get on board) From a moving train (hear the motor humming) From a moving train (see, you've gotta see the light) |

Ain't it foggy outside
All the planes have been grounded Ain't' the fire inside Let's all go stand around it Funny, I've been there And you've been here We ain't have no time to drink that beer (Chorus) Cuz' I understand you've been runnin' from the man That goes by the name of the Sandman He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye of a hurricane thats abandond Ain't the years gone by fast I suppose you have missed them Oh I almost forgot to ask Did you hear of my enlistment Funny I've been there And you've been here We ain't have no time to drink that beer Cuz' I understand you've been runnin' from the man That goes by the name of the Sandman He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye of a hurricane thats abandond (Repeat chorus x3) |

On the first part of the journey, I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rings The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz And the sky with no clouds The heat was hot and the ground was dry, But the air was full of sounds I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can't remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la After two days in the desert sun, my skin began to turn red After three days in the desert fun, I was looking at a river bed And the story it told of a river that flowed Made me sad to think it was dead You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can't remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la After nine days, I let the horse run free 'cause the desert had turned to sea There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rings The ocean is a desert with its life underground And a perfect disguise above Under the cities lies a heart made of ground But the humans will give no love You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can't remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la |
