The Golden Road (To Unlimited Devotion) Lyrics |
See that girl, barefootin' along,
Whistlin' and singin', she's a carryin' on.
There's laughing in her eyes, dancing in her feet,
She's a neon-light diamond and she can live on the street.
Hey hey, hey, come right away
Come and join the party every day.
Well everybody's dancin' in a ring around the sun
Nobody's finished, we ain't even begun.
So take off your shoes, child, and take off your hat.
Try on your wings and find our where it's at.
Hey hey, hey, come right away
Come and join the party every day.
Take a vacation, fall out for a while,
Summer's comin' in, and it's goin' outa style
Cause your mother's down in Memphis, won't be back 'till the fall.
Hey hey, hey, come right away
Come and join the party every day.

Where have all the people gone my honey, Where have all the people gone today. There's no need for you to be worrying about all those people, You never see those people anyway. I thought I heard a young man morn...

She can't take your mind and leave I know it's just another trick she's got up her sleeve I can't believe that she really wants you to die After all it's more than enough to pay for your lie Wait a minute, watch what you're doin' with your time All the endless ruins of the past must stay behind, yeah Well, can't you see that you're killing each other's soul Well, you're both out in the streets and you got no place to go Your constant battes are getting to be a bore So go somewhere else and continue your cream puff war

Yes I'll be waiting at the station Lord, when that train pulls on by, I'm going back where I belong. I'm going back to that same old used-to-be, Down in Joe Brown's coal mine. Coal mine, coal mine, coal mine,...
