Yippy yea, there'll be no wedding bells for today

I've got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle
As I go riding merrily along
And they sing, "Oh, ain't you glad you're single?"
And that song ain't so very far from wrong

Ain't got no home, no children, no pets
I'm a happily married man
When I get tired I just lay down
I sleep where ever I am
Now my plate and my pot are gone from my sink
And I don't have to worry bout taking a drink
I ain't seen my wife for two or three years
I'm a happily married man

When first that I married your inconstant mother
I thought myself lucky to be blessed with a wife.
But for my misfortune, sure I was mistaken
She's proved both a curse and a plague on my life.

She goes out every night to a ball or a party
And leaves me here rockin' he cradle alone.
The innocent laddie he calls me his daddy
But little he knows that he's none of my own.
She asked me name my foe then. I said the need within some men to fight and kill their brothers without thought of Love or God. Ken Hensley

 Well, they say it's kinda fright'nin' how this younger generation swings.
 You know, it's more than just some new sensation.
 Well, the kid is into losin' sleep and he don't come home for half the week.
 You know, it's more than just an aggravation.
 And the cradle will rock.
 Yes, the cradle will rock.
 And I say, rock on!
 Rock on!

 And when some local kid gets down, they try and drum him out of town.
 They say, "You coulda least faked it, boy."
 At an early age he hits the street and winds up tied with who he meets, and he's unemployed.
 And the cradle will rock.
 Yeah, the cradle will rock.
 And I say, rock on!
 Rock on!

My son turned ten just the other day
He said, thanks for the ball, dad, come on let's play
Can you teach me to throw, I said, not today
I got a lot to do, he said, that's okay
And he walked away, but his smile never dimmed
Said, I'm gonna be like him, yeah
You know I'm gonna be like him

 It was the third of September
 That day I'll always remember,
 Yes, I will
 'Cause that was the day that my daddy died
 I never got a chance to see him
 Never heard nothin' but bad things about him
 Mama, I'm depending on you
 To tell me the truth
 Mama just hung her head and said, "Son,..


 Papa was a rolling stone.
 Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
 And when he died, all he left us was alone.
 Papa was a rolling stone, my son.
 Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
 And when he died, all he left us was alone."

The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry

 Johnny was a schoolboy when he heard his first Beatle song,
 'Love me do,' I think it was. From there it didn't take him long.
 Got himself a guitar, used to play every night,
 Now he's in a rock 'n' roll outfit,

 And everything's all right, don't you know?

 Johnny told his mama, hey, 'Mama, I'm goin' away. I'm gonna hit the big
 time, gonna be a big star someday', Yeah.
 Mama came to the door with a teardrop in her eye.
 Johnny said, 'Don't cry, mama, smile and wave good-bye'.

 Don't you know, yeah yeah, Don't you know that you are a shooting star,
 Don't you know, don't you know. Don't you know that you are
 a shooting star, And all the world will love you just as long,
 As long as you are.

It may be his soul was bigger than a body's ought to be
Singin' songs and bringin' laughter to the likes of you and me
'Cause the world he saw was sadder than the one he hoped to find
But it wasn't near as lonesome as the one he left behind

Yesterday they found him on the floor of his hotel
Reachin' toward the needle, Lord, that drove him down to hell
Some folks called it suicide, others blame the speed
But we just called it crucified when Billy Dee O.D.'d

Cocaine flame in my blood stream
Sold my coat when I hit Spokane
Bought myself a hard pack of cigarettes
In the early mornin' rain
Lately my hands they don't feel like mine
My eyes been stung with dust and blind
Held you in my arms one time
Lost you just the same

Jolene, I ain't about to go straight
It's too late
I found myself face down in a ditch
Booze in my hair, blood on my lips
A picture of you holding a picture of me
In the pocket of my blue jeans

Money talks
But it don't sing and dance
And it don't walk
And long as I can have you
Here with me, I'd much rather be
Forever in blue jeans

Forever in blue jeans
But now she's back in her world
And I'm still stuck in mine
But I know she'll always
Remember the time
A cowboy once had
A millionaire's dream
And Lord, I loved that lady
Wearin' tight-fittin' jeans

Down on the corner by the traffic light
Everybody's lookin' as she goes by
They turn their heads and they watch her till she's gone
Lord have mercy, baby's got her blue jeans on

Up by the bus stop and across the street
Open up their windows to take a peek
Y'all she goes walking, rockin' like a rollin' stone
Heaven help us, baby's got her blue jeans on

Bell bottom blues, you made me cry
And if I could choose a place to die
It would be in your arms.

Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlights people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night

OK...I was trying to post the lyrics of Billy Joel's "The Stranger"

It didn't work and now I can't get out of the posting site.

Forgive me...I'll post from memory from now on.

Thoughts in time and out of season
The Hitchhiker
Stood by the side of the road
And leveled his thumb
In the calm calculus of reason

Riders on the storm

 Was Ridin' along side the highway, rollin' up the country side.
 Thinkin' I'm the devil's heatwave, what you burn in your crazy mind?
 Saw a slight distraction standin' by the road;
 She was smilin' there, yellow in her hair;
 Do you wanna, I was thinkin', would you care.

 Sweet Hitch-a-Hiker,
 We could make music at the Greasy King.
 Sweet Hitch-a-Hiker,
 Won't you ride on my fast machine?

So remember we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

 Pearls and swine bereft of me.
 Long and weary my road has been.
 I was lost in the cities, alone in the hills.
 No sorrow or pity for leaving, I feel, yeah.

 I am not your rolling wheels – I am the highway.
 I am not your carpet ride – I am the sky.

 Friends and liars don't wait for me,
 'Cause I'll get on all by myself.
 I put millions of miles under my heels;
 And still too close to you, I feel, yeah.

 I am not your rolling wheels – I am the highway.
 I am not your carpet ride – I am the sky.

 I am not your blowing wind – I am the lightning.
 I am not your autumn moon – I am the night… the night.

My love is in league with the freeway
Its passion will ride, as the cities fly by
And the tail-lights dissolve, in the coming of night
And the questions in thousands take flight
My love is a-miles in the waiting
The eyes that just stare, and the glance at the clock
And the secret that burns, and the pain that grows dark
And it's you once again
Leading me on - leading me down the road
Driving beyond - driving me down the road

At my bedside empty pocket
A foot without a sock
Your body gets much closer
I fumble for the clock
Alarmed by the seduction
I wish that it would stop

Hells bells, satan's coming to you

Tolling for the rebel, tolling for the rake
Tolling for the luckless, the abandoned an’ forsaked
Tolling for the outcast, burnin’ constantly at stake
An’ we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing

Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun, on they run through the endless grey
On they fight, for they're right, yes, but who's to say?
For a hill, men would kill, why? They do not know
Stiffened wounds test their pride
Men of five, still alive through the raging glow
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know

For whom the bell tolls
She asked me name my foe then. I said the need within some men to fight and kill their brothers without thought of Love or God. Ken Hensley
