================================================= 1st loves & autographs And places we've been Broke your heart yesterday And I'll break it again You were on something When I came outside Meanwhile, we're out on life's highway Hitchin' rides People on the road; (Whistle, anchor! Whistle, anchor!) People goin' home; (Missile, anchor! Missile, anchor!) People on the road; (Whistle, anchor! Whistle, anchor!) People goin' home; (Missile, anchor! Whistle, anchor! Anchor what?) I thought of you When the Band-Aids were off Gave you all your money back And I knew I was wrong When I woke up It was Halloween night Must've looked like Mardi Grass 'Cause no one there was right People on the road; (Whistle, anchor! Whistle, anchor!) People goin' home; (Missile, anchor! Missile, anchor!) People on the road; (Whistle, anchor! Whistle, anchor!) People goin' home; (Missile, anchor! Whistle, anchor! Anchor what?) 1st loves & autographs And places we've been Broke my heart yesterday And you'd break it again I was on something When you came outside You pulled a knife on me I cut you 3 times People on the road; (Whistle, anchor! Whistle, anchor!) People goin' home; (Missile, anchor! Missile, anchor!) People on the road; (Whistle, anchor! Whistle, anchor!) People goin' home; (Missile, anchor! Whistle, anchor! Anchor what?) =================================================

================================================= All around the water tanks Waitin' for a train A thousand miles away from home Sleepin' in the rain I walked up to a brakeman To give him a line of talk He said, "If you've got money, I'll see that you don't walk." I haven't got a nickel Not a penny can I show "Get off, get off you railroad bum!" And he slammed the boxcar door . . . He put me off in Texas A state I dearly love The wide open spaces all around me The moon & stars up above Nobody seems to want me Or lend me a helping hand I'm on my way from Frisco Goin' back to Dixieland Though my pocket book is empty And my heart is full of pain I'm a thousand miles away from home Just waitin' for a train . . . ================================================

================================================= I can see you or me Lookin' out for the apple tree back home We'd sit and watch it grow Someone laugh; tell a joke You're the wheel & I'm the spoke So let's get it on a roll . . . I don't know if it's only for sleep I don't know if that's all meant to me I don't know if I'm only countin' sheep But I'm sure when you're dead or old You'll remember me I can see you or me Lookin' out for the orange tree back home Now that you're alone Make you laugh; you make me choke You're the wheel & I'm the spokesperson That's out of control . . . Now I know it's only for sleep And I know it's all meant to be And I know I'll see ya in my dreams But I'm sure when I'm dead & old You'll remember me =================================================

I'd have met you On the other side I've gone away now You cannot hide You've come to stay now There's no other way Now you're left behind Thinkin' of you I have loved you From the other side We've gone away now We cannot hide There's no other way now We've come to stay Now we're left behind ================================================

about

======================================

Life's not lived in the city
Lights don't live on the floor
There's 10 people out to get you
Pretty soon we're gonna need some more

You might not know Uncle Crisco
You prob'ly ain't seen Sister Shawn
You put a telescope down in my pocket
You could see all the money's gone
Yeah, you'll see all the money gone

So why not think about Elvis?
You know I don't think about gloom
Wonder why you don't think about Elvis
Baby, don't you know he's thinkin' 'bout you?

Lights don't live in the city
And life's not lived on all fours
When somebody's out to meet you
Don't you know he's gonna want some more?

Do you know who shot Uncle Crisco?
You might try "Asken de Cow"
You got in one little fight with the Ocean
So you think you're a big fish now?
Yeah, you think you're the "Big Sip" now

So why not think about Elvis?
I know I don't think about gloom
Wonder why you're not thinkin' 'bout Elvis
Honey, don't you know he's thinkin' 'bout you?
Don't you know he's thinkin' 'bout . . .

Can't believe I got it wrong again
I was sure
I would get it right this time
And then
You showed me that I can
Forget her after all

So why not think about Elvis?
You know I don't think about gloom
Wonder why you're not thinkin' 'bout Elvis
Honey, don't you know he cares about you?
