Yesterday the world stood still
The sun sat resting on a hill
The grass was blue the sky was green
And we made love in Portuguese
Suddenly I realized
Somehow we had learned to fly
And we took off like two young swans
Headed for the great beyond
Chorus
Sometimes I have the strangest dreams
Heaven finds me in my sleep
And some sweet angel carries [...]

It’s easy to get lost on the 18th floor
Staring out my office window at this hurried, hurried world
I’ve got a meeting in an hour, another one at three
Next week I’ll be in Phoenix, I’ve got a schedule to keep
But there’s more to life than this old job
And sometimes I forget
‘Til I see that big smile [...]

You won’t hear a rooster crow
But you can set your watch by Joe
He’s up to get the paper every morning at 5 am.
Pretty soon the lights come on
By 8 o’clock the kids are gone
Down to the corner to catch the bus with all their friends
And another day begins
Chorus
On Maplewood drive
Where the leaves change colors, come [...]

I just got my pictures back
From the local photo mat
The first one is the two of us smiling on Miami Beach
With two straws and a colored drink
At the time I didn’t think
That bright sun in the background was soon to set on her and me
Chorus
I can picture her drivin’ with that rag top down
Just passin’ [...]

The boss sent me to Monterrey
I’m stuck down here for 3 more days
I’d watch TV, but I don’t understand a word
I thought I’d kill some time
A little salt, a little lime
I’ve been asking for an hour, so he must not have heard
Chorus
Jose can you see that bottle of Cuervo
Sittin’ on the other side of the [...]

The address was unfamiliar on the letter I got today
You must’ve lived in every city from Mobile to Santa Fe
You asked if I think about you and if the memories make me smile
And do I remember that summer
Well maybe every once in a while
Chorus
Like every time it rains on this Georgia farm
I can see us [...]

I didn’t just buy this old worn out guitar
And waltz out on the stage
And i ain’t here to be no superstar
I just wanna play
So let me get lost in some old country song
like he stopped loving her today
Or some old rocker I can start wailin’ on
I just wanna play
So kick it off boys and let [...]

There’s blood on my uniform
And blood on my hands
And words won’t do justice to the things I’ve seen
That shouldn’t be seen by any man
You can say what you want
You have the right
So go ahead and speak your mind
But don’t judge me
Chorus
Cuz I do what they tell me to do
And i’m proud to wear these clothes
And [...]

I come home from battlin’ the world, after one of those days
And you wanna go out, catch a movie, or grab a bite at some new place
Inside I feel like the walkin’ dead, with a jet plane roarin’ in the middle of my head
Then you kiss my cheek, so I reach for my keys
I can [...]

I can see why you think you belong to me
Never tried to make you think or let you see one thing for yourself
Now you’re off with someone else and I’m alone
I thought that I might keep you for my own
Chorus
Amie, what you wanna do
I think I could stay with you
For a while maybe longer if [...]
