Green
fields and rolling hills Room enough to do what we will Sweet
dreams of yestertime are running though my mind Of a place I left
behind, been so long, I can't remember when I've been to Canaan
and I want to go back again
Been so long, I'm
living till then Cause I've been to Canaan and I won't rest
until I go back again. Though I'm content with myself Sometimes
I long to be somewhere else I try to do what I can, but with our
day to day demands We all need a promised land.
Been so long, I can't
remember when I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again Been
so long, I'm living till then 'Cause I've been to Canaan and I
won't rest until I go back again. Oh I want to be there in the
wintertime With a fireplace burning to warm me And you to hold
me when it's stormy
Been so long, I can't
remember when I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again Been
so long, I'm living till then.

If
you're driving into town With a dark cloud above you Dial in
the number Who's bound to love you Oh honey you turn me on I'm
a radio I'm a country station I'm a little bit corny I'm a
wildwood flower Waving for you I'm a broadcasting tower Waving
for you And I'm sending you out This signal here I hope you
can pick it up Loud and clear I know you don't like weak
women You get bored so quick And you don't like strong
women 'Cause they're hip to your tricks It's been dirty for
dirty Down the line But you know I come when you whistle When
you're loving and kind But if you've got too many doubts If
there's no good reception for me Then tune me out, 'cause
honey Who needs the static It hurts the head And you wind up
cracking And the day goes dismal From "Breakfast
Barney" To the sign-off prayer What a sorry face you get
to wear I'm going to tell you again now If you're still
listening there If you're driving into town With a dark cloud
above you Dial in the number Who's bound to love you If
you're lying on the beach With the transistor going Kick off
the sandflies honey The love's still flowing If your head says
forget it But your heart's still smoking Call me at the
station The lines are open

If
I had a gun for every ace I've drawn I could arm a town the size
of Abilene Don't you push me baby cause I'm moaning low You
know I'm only in it for the gold
All that I am asking
for is ten gold dollars I could pay you back with one good
hand You can look around about the wide world over And You will
never find another honest man
Last fair deal in the
country, sweet Suzy Last fair deal in the town Put your gold
money where your love is, baby Before you let my deal go down...
go down
Don't you push me
baby Because I'm moaning low I know a little something You
won't ever know Don't you touch hard liquor just a cup of cold
coffee Gonna get up in the morning and go
Everybody's bragging
and drinking that wine I can tell the Queen of Diamonds by the way
she shine Come to Daddy on an inside straight I got no chance
of losing this time No, I got no chance of losing this time

A
letra:
And
Aubrey was her name A not so very ordinary girl or name But
who's to blame? For a love that wouldn't bloom For the hearts
that never played in tune Like a lovely melody that everyone can
sing Take away the words that rhyme it doesn't mean a thing
And Aubrey was her
name We tripped the light and danced together to the moon But
where was June No, it never came around If it did it never made
a sound Maybe I was absent or was listening to fast
Catching all the words,
but then the meaning going past
But God, I miss the
girl
And I'd go a thousand
times around the world just to be Closer to her than to me
And Aubrey was her
name I never knew her, but I loved her just the same I loved
her name Wish that I had found the way And the reasons that
would make her stay I have learned to lead a life apart from all
the rest If I can't have the one I want, I'll do without the
best But how I miss the girl And I'd go a million times around
the world just to say She had been mine for a day

Crossroads,
seem to come and go, yeah. The gypsy flies from coast to coast
Knowing many, loving
none, Bearing sorrow havin' fun, But back home he'll always
run To sweet Melissa... mmm...
Freight train, each car
looks the same, all the same. And no one knows the Gypsy's name
No one hears his lonely
sighs, There are no blankets where he lies. In all his deepest
dreams the Gypsy flies With sweet Melissa... mmm...
Again the morning's
come, Again he's on the run, Sunbeams shining through his
hair, Appearing not to have a care. Well, pick up your gear and
Gypsy roll on, roll on.
Crossroads, will you
ever let him go? (Lord, Lord) Will you hide the dead man's
ghost, Or will he lie, beneath the clay, Or will his spirit
float away?

I
have seen where the wolf has slept by the silver stream I can tell
by the mark he left, you were in his dream Ah child of countless
trees Ah child of boundless seas
What you are, and what
you're meant to be Speaks his name, though you were born to
me Born to me Cassidy
Lost now on the country
miles in his Cadillac I can tell by the way you smile, he is
rolling back Come wash the nighttime clean Come grow the
scorched ground green
Blow the horn, and tap
the tambourine Close the gap of the dark years in between You
and me Cassidy
Quick beats in an icy
heart Catch colt draws a coffin cart There he goes and now here
she starts Hear her cry
Flight of the
seabirds Scattered like lost words Wield to the storm and fly
Fare thee well now Let
your life proceed by it's own design Nothing to tell now Let
the words be yours, I'm done with mine
Fare thee well now Let
your life proceed by it's own design Nothing to tell now Let
the words be yours, I'm done with mine
Fare thee well now Let
your life proceed by it's own design Nothing to tell now Let
the words be yours, I'm done with mine I'm done with mine

seabirds Scattered like lost words Wield to the storm and fly

they tell me of a pie up in the sky Waiting for me when I die But

hear even your cry
So as sure as the sun
will shine I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine And then the
harder they come The harder they fall, one and all Ooh, the
harder they come The harder they fall, one and all
Well, the oppressors
are trying to keep me down Trying to drive me underground And
they think that they have got the battle won I say forgive them
Lord, they know not what they've done
'Cause, as sure as the
sun will shine I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine And then
the harder they come The harder they fall, one and all Ooh, the
harder they come Harder they fall, one and all
And I keep on fighting
for the things I want Though I know that when you're dead you
can't But I'd rather be a free man in my grave Than living as a
puppet or a slave
So as sure as the sun
will shine I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine And then the
harder they come The harder they fall, one and all Ooh, the
harder they come Harder they fall, one and all
Hey, the harder they
come The harder they fall, one and all Hey, the harder they
come The harder they fall, one and all Hey, the harder they
come The harder they fall, one and all
