I've got to get out
I've been living too long in the city
I did what I planned
I did what I had to do
Playing the radio as loud as I can
wind in my face , with the windows down
Direction motorway
I Gotta getaway
Dreaming of my future plans
Nah na na na na na na nah
Take me away
Take me away
Nah na na na na na na nah
Never going back again.
Six years I survived
in a one room dive, in the city
I saw a man gettin stabbed, in a fight, cos he got in the way
I'm so glad to be out of this place
give me room , give me plenty of space
Life is not fair
The people don't care
When you live your life at this pace.
Nah na na na na na na nah
Take me away
Take me away
Nah na na na na na na nah
Never going back again.
Soon I'll be there
with an ice cold beer
watching out over the river
sun in my eyes
Endless blue skies
fresh air doesn't get any better
Doesn't get any better
I had good times
It wasn't all bad
On the streets that were paved in gold
It's just I wanted more than the bright lights of the city could give me
So please keep your neon signs
Your queues and your parking fines
Endless busy streets
Strange people that you meet
Sometimes
Guitar solo
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Gotta get out , get out of the city
Yeah Yeah Yeah
The place that I love where I can be free
Yeah Yeah Yeah
I said take me on down ,take me down to the country
Yeah Yeah Yeah
It’s where I belong where I can be free.
Wanted poster
There going to hunt you down
Better not show your face in town
Hired gun going to track you down
There’s no safe place to be
Wanted poster
They know your name
They also know from where you came
They know that you broke a safe
Down in Kansas City
They said it was you who robbed the bank
Pulled a gun and shot it at point blank
The cashier caught it and Against the wall he sank
He died in a pool of blood
Summer days and happy times
Out in the fields sipping wine
Kisses in the evening moonlight
And then it all turned grey
They came and took you away
My life, my love taken from me that day
Kick on the horse
And ride on out of town
Got to make cover
Before sundown
Posse chasing in your dust
Likely to track you down
Dead men Tell no tales you see
You make your threats
You make the kill
Last man standing..
Is the only way, when you are on the run
Did it even cross your mind
Families that have mourned and cried
The innocent man who lost his life
He never done you no wrong
Any reason why you got no heart
devil took your soul
Temptation took its part
Now there's nothing left of you
You’re half the man you were
Summer days and happy times
Out in the fields sipping wine
Kisses in the evening moonlight
And then it all turned grey
They came and took you away
My life, my love taken from me that day
like the seasons
winter of your life
you had your reasons
they’ll take your life
Pinkerton agency on your trail
Had to hunt you down
Now your locked up in the county jail
hangman doing his job today
noose around your neck
thoughts in your head
You’re not getting away
Wanted story of your wasted life
Made the paper in bold type
Tragic story of an outlaws life
sheriff got his man dead
The world it is changing
Some say for the worst
Some say if we carry on going
The bubble is going to burst
Dump in in the ocean
Out of sight out of mind
What do you think in a couple of hundred years
They are going to find.
I had a nightmare last night
I hope it wasn’t true
I didn’t read the signs
We couldn’t face the truth
I had a nightmare last night
I hope it wasn’t true
I didn’t read the signs
We couldn’t face the truth
Statesman, Politicians
Please all heed the call
Every time a word is spoken
A tree is going to fall.
Cut down all the Forrest’s
fill the earth with disease
What do you think that in a couple
Of hundred years they are going to breath
I had a nightmare last night
I hope it wasn’t true
I didn’t read the signs
We couldn’t face the truth
I had a nightmare last night
I hope it wasn’t true
I didn’t read the signs
We couldn’t face the truth
Playing with the future
The sparkle in our grandchildren eyes
We just turn our heads
And think what we are ,are we wise
Nature will turn on us
Turn the green into dust
What do you think that in a couple of hundred years
They’ll think of us
I had a nightmare last night
I hope it wasn’t true
I didn’t read the signs
We couldn’t face the truth
I had a nightmare last night
I hope it wasn’t true
I didn’t read the signs
I couldn’t face the truth
I had a nightmare last night
I feel so happy I could shout.
I got a lot to smile about.
Every time I see your face.
My heart begins to race
See you Looking back at me
Feels the way it's meant to be
That's when I really knew
You are the one for me.
Living on the edge I’m looking down
It feels so good when your around
When we are together it feels so good
My feelings you have always understood
You learnt to pick me up
And you are forever in my heart
We been on high time
Fought through our hard times
Hand in hand we walked the road
Now this is our time
And you blow my mind
This song is just to let you know
The brightest colours I can see
They happen when you are with me
That's when I really knew
My life it needed you.
Every time I see you face
My heart begins to race
Even in a crowded room
I can wait to be alone with you
We been on high time
Fought through our hard times
Hand in hand we walked the road
Now this is our time
And you blow my mind
This song is just to let you
We been on high time
Fought through our hard times
Hand in hand we walked the road
Now this is our time
And you blow my mind
This song is just to let you know
I Sir , am just a troubadour
Sitting here upon the floor
Throw me some change in my case as you pass me by
Sometimes I play these songs for you
Some of them old and some of them new
Others I make up as Time goes by
So long I wish you well
Over the hills and far away
I'll spread my wings and fly away
Pack up my troubles and get away
To a better life in another place
But until then I'm the Busker
A Smiling face and an old guitar
Crowded pavement watching eyes from afar
Watching me play my songs like there's no tomorrow
Escalators go up and down
Carrying people from all over town
I'm always looking for people to entertain
A Windy street and a Rainy day
Get Washed away or play in the subway
Echoed notes reverberate they sound just fine
So long I wish you well
Over the hills and far away
I'll spread my wings and fly away
Pack up my troubles and get away
To a better life in another place
But until then I'm the Busker
Over the hills and far away
I'll spread my wings and fly away
Pack up my troubles and get away
To a better life in another place
But until then I'm the Busker
Hot summer sun is beating on down
So today I got my head in the clouds
Sweet is the summer it’s my everything
But you’re not here
I miss you near
Vs 2
Open top car with the wind in my face
I feel my heart and it’s starting to race
Adventures starting
Loving water and beach
But you’re not here you’re out of reach
Musical interlude
Vs 3
Under the stars on such a clear night
Look to the future they’re shining so bright
Angel from heaven
I’m glad it was you
Stayed by my side
My secret you knew
Vs 4
You were the sweetest you fell Victim to life
Sun set too early, your life was unkind
Remembering, all your good deeds and love
Now you watch down from up above, from up above
Chorus
I wish you were here x 3
I wish you were here, By me
Blue sky’s and sunshine
Well remember again.
Now summer is coming
I remember my friend.
This hot summer sunshine
Is never the same
When I am knowing
I never see you again
Musical interlude
Vs 5
Hot summer sun was beating on down
So today I had my head in the clouds
Sweet was the summer, was my everything
But you weren’t here
I missed you near
Vs 6
Under the stars on such a clear night
Look to the past they were shining so bright
Angel from heaven I’m glad you came through
Stuck by my side
My secret you knew
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Life goes on, Life goes on,
You were the sweetest you fell Victim to life
Sun set too early, your life was unkind
Remembering, all your good deeds and love
I wish you were here x 3
I wish you were here, By me
Blue sky’s and sunshine
Well remember again.
Now summer is coming
I remember my friend.
Under the stars on such a clear night
Look to the future they were shining so bright
Angel from heaven I’m glad it was you
Stayed by my side
My secret you knew
Maybe there a better way
That we can work it out
We can find a way
To make it our's
Sun is breaking through
This cloudy sky
Or it it just the calm before the storm.
Must be a year ago
Driving through the town
See you standing there
Without a care
With another girl
You walk off hand in hand
Catch your eye but you stare straight through me
now it's starts raining
thunder starts a rolling
I can't stand it
I feel that I'm a falling
The only thing right now
That interests me
Is the five year old child looking up at me
You, think the whole world revolves around you
Have you had your heart broken in two
And you're the only one had dreams come true
How do you see it end
What goes through your mind
How can I forgive , is my love so blind
Oh We had it good
But We lost our way
Can you hear the words
I'm trying to say
now it's starts raining
thunder starts a rolling
I can't stand it
I feel that I'm a falling
The only thing right now
That interests me
Is the five year old child looking up at me
You, think the whole world revolves around you
Have you had your heart broken in two
And you're the only one had dreams come true
It's late again
You say you're out with friends
Telling truth or lies
While I'm singing lullabies
It May break my heart to think
We'll never speak again
So Sick of hearing guilty alibi's
now it's starts raining
thunder starts a rolling
I can't stand it
I feel that I'm a falling
The only thing right now
That interests me
Is the five year old child looking back at me
You, think the whole world revolves around you
Have you had your heart broken in two
And you're the only one had dreams come true
And you're the only one had dreams come true
Jim was the closest that I ever got to love
When I first met him I thought he was sent from above
He used to buy me gifts perfume and other things
It wasn't till much later on , It gave me time to think
Now he wants to tell me that everything is fine
Well that's really not what's going on in my mind
Been down on my life
Living on the top of a blade
Tried running but I can't hide
Lie in the bed that I made
Boss man and his low life
Breathing down my neck
I said look into my eyes man and see if I'm coming back
Now he wants to tell me that's it ll be all fine
he said I better listen
and tow the company line
I said Whoa whoa Whoa
good times are past and gone
Whoa Whoa Whoa
good Time are moving on
I said Whoa whoa Whoa
good times are past and gone
Whoa Whoa Whoa
good Time are moving on
Past life was so good but I'll never see it again
It's a viscous circle that drives me to hell and back again
Luck it eludes me
The truth it's hard to bare
It's hard driving on the wrong side
No jokes till I get there
He liked to gamble , he liked to cheat
Should have read the warning signs as we travelled down the street
I said Whoa whoa Whoa
good times are past and gone
Whoa Whoa Whoa
good Time are moving on
I said Whoa whoa Whoa
good times are past and gone
Whoa Whoa Whoa
good Time are moving on
