Lyrics:
Petty song
Last dance for Mary Jane was our favorite song of all
Chorus
Can you ride with me - down American roads?
Can you ride with me - down American
There's a great American hero, we all look up to
When the times are hard and the chips are down
He knows just what to do
Now a cowboy's got a set
There's a great American hero, we all look up to
When the times are hard and the chips are down
He knows just what to do
Now a cowboy's got a set
this all would be funny
When you got back home in a week
Turn twenty two and we'd celebrate you
In a bar or a tent by the creek
Your baby would
the Christmas Eve service was coming
And the church shone with tinsel and light
And all of the townfolk brought presents
To lay by the manger that night
There
The splendid things I planned
I always built to last on weak and shifting sand
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day
And only now I see how
Come sit beside me and I'll sing you one last song for you to carry with you as you go
And I'll remember you here in the frosty dawn and the lightly
lonely
With him along, who could be lonely
I reach for his hand, it's always there
How long does it last?
Can love be measured by the hours in
this all would be funny
When you came back home in a week.
You'd turn twenty-two and we'd celebrate you
In a bar or a tent by the creek.
Your baby
Last week, uh, in Nashville, Bob Dylan, one of the top writers
Well, I don't need to tell you who Bob Dylan is
The greatest writer of our time was
shit.
It's all about image, image, image.
Fuck your song, you're looking good.
We just recorded your orgasm, and the money is rolling in.
Alone,
The trees that whisper in the evening
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Sing a song of sorrow and grieving
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
All she saw
going to record a brand new song that
I just sang last night for the first time
It was written by someone here in Folsom prison
Can I have a drink
long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now but this much I can say
I know I'll need her till the stars all
long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now but this much I can say
I know I'll need her till the stars all
Don't let it fool you brother
Beware of what you see
You've been consumed by all your visions of luxury
Betrayed your friends and burned
alone with the music
I don’t know, it may be by chance,
That they saved the waltz for the last
So I lay awake in bed
And I let the song run through my
to the beat of the t'balo
Now dig the story and follow
For then it landed, on American soil
Through the sweat, the blood and the toil
Hear, "Praise the Lord,"
million dollars on law enforcement
Federal law enforcement expenditures ranked last in absolute dollars
And accounted for only six percent of all federal
I dreamed of my old lover last night
I wonder if I spoke out loud
And if by chance my husband overheard
He put my face back in the crowd
His
all burn away
And she'll be there
How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now but this much I can say
all burn away
And she'll be there
How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now but this much I can say
A time so haunting moonlight in the mist
Lay me down Beside you oh as long as it lasts
From the river comes a Figure drifting slowly by
Trailing
Yeah this one right here goes out to all the baby's mamas, mamas
Mamas, mamas, baby mamas, mamas
Yeah, go like this
I'm sorry Ms. Jackson (oh),
