You know I lost a friend The other day She said, she'd like to stay But she's on her way And I can't believe That she's leaving me And it's been so long goin' on Just can't be Well, it's happened before Well, I never dreamed It could happen with her All the same old scenes And it can't be true What's she trying to do Be the death of me Can't you see, just can't be What went wrong, well, you know I don't understand But it's done and you know I've done all I can So I'll say goodbye To these tears I've cried I will carry on, get along I won't ask why So I'll say goodbye To these tears, I've cried I will carry on, get along I won't ask why

Childhood living is easy to do The things you wanted, I bought them for you Graceless lady, you know who I am You know I can't let you slide through my hands Wild horses couldn't drag me away Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away I watched you suffer a dull, aching pain Now you've decided to show me the same No sweeping exits or off-stage lights Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind Wild horses couldn't drag me away Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away I know I've dreamed you a sin and a lie I had my freedom, but I don't have much time Faith has been broken, tears must be cried Let's do some living after we die Wild horses couldn't drag me away Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day Wild horses couldn't drag me away Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day

Ramona come closer Shut softly your watery eyes The pangs of your sadness Shall pass as your senses will rise But the flowers of the city Thou breath like yet Death like thee at times There's no use in trying To deal with the dying Though I can not explain that in rhymes Your cracked country lips I still wish to kiss Have to be by the touch of your skin Your magnetic movements Still capture the moments I'm in It grieves my heart, love To see you trying To be a part of a world That just don't exist It's all just a scheme, babe A vaccum of dreams That sucks you into Feeling like this I've heard you say many times That your better than no one And no one is better than you If you really believe that You know you have nothing to win And nothing to lose From fixtures and forces and friends Your sorrow does stem They'll hype you and type A make you feel That you got to be just like them I'd forever talk to you But soon my words would turn Into a meaningless ring For deep in my heart There's no help I can bring Everything passes everything changes Just do what you think you should do Then someday maybe Who knows, baby I'll come and be crying to you

It's ten PM and I should have made the road tonight The moon was out and the clouds came in and took it's light My suitcase is over there somehow I just don't care Cause I don't want to be anywhere but right here tonight The rains came down and I should have made an early plane Where I'd rather be if it can't be seen then I can't explain It's so warm in here and I want to hold you near And there is no pain or fear right here tonight With tomorrows dawn I will carry on what I've set aside It's not a matter of my faith or of my pride It just seems so insane to strike out in the rain When it's so easy to remain right here tonight

A letter came today from the draft board With trembling hands I read the questionnaire It asked me lots of things about my mama and papa Now, that ain't what I call exactly fair So I'm headin' for the nearest foreign border Vancouver may be just my kind of town 'Cause they don't need the kind of law and order That tends to keep a good man underground A sad old soldier once told me a story About a battlefield that he was on He said a man should never fight for glory He must know what is right and what is wrong So I'm headin' for the nearest foreign border Vancouver may be just my kind of town 'Cause they don't need the kind of law and order That tends to keep a good man underground, oh, yeah Now, I don't know how much I owe my uncle But I suspect it's more than I can pay He's askin' me to sign a three-year contract I guess I'll catch the first bus out today So I'm headin' for the nearest foreign border Vancouver may be just my kind of town 'Cause they don't need the kind of law and order That tends to keep a good man underground That tends to keep a good man underground
