Far From Home
You're a runaway flower child of the land
Skipping a tripping over patches of sand
Now you're running far, as far as you can
To get far from home, far from home.
Yeah, the vistas are endless and the highway is long
Your friends are loose and you're singing a song
The car is old but the spirit is strong
To get far from home, far from home.
Follow your heart and see what it is you can find
You might run out of money but I know you won't run out of time.
And when you drive into a strange new town
Do you see cold faces and do you see frowns?
Does it feel like you've got no friends around?
When you're far from home, far from home.
Follow your heart and see what it is you can find
You might run out of money but I know you won't run out of time.
So when they take advantage of you
Until your heart is breaking in two
Do you know what you're going to do?
'Cause you're far from home, far from home, far from home.
Sunny Sunday
Sunday, sunny Sunday
Lazy Sunday afternoon
Sunday, sunny Sunday
Playing a breezy summer tune.
Kick your shoes off for awhile
Lay back and listen to the trees
You can find a whole new outlook
‘Cause there’s so much to believe.
Sunday, sunny Sunday
Free and playful as a child
Hugging with gentle feelings
Running through a field, young and wild.
Have you ever heard the sunshine
Ask you to come and play awhile?
That’s what happens when I’m with you
I can see it in your smile.
Children play tag in the field
Grandpa joins in their fun
Together, friends are walking hand-in-hand
A quiet moment for someone.
Sunday, sunny Sunday
The wind and the sunshine always knew
I’m so glad I found you
And I’ll see you real soon.
On this afternoon, on this afternoon,
On this afternoon.
Lazy Summer
Hear the wind blow through the trees
Feel the heat rush through my sleeves
Sage and lilac fill the breeze
Not a soul in front of me.
Me, I pedal quietly
Follow rows of willow trees
Something distant calls to me
A meadow and some scattered leaves.
I don't mind if I do waste
An hour or two
Laying like a cat out in the sun
There's nobody that I owe
Nobody who can tell me
Toe the line
It's time to come home.
Dream of laughter on the grass
Hidden love beneath the trees
Hours drift like cirrus clouds
Lazy summer come to me.
I don't mind if I do waste
An hour or two
Laying like a cat out in the sun
There's nobody that I owe
Nobody who can tell me
Toe the line
It's time to come home.
Hear the wind blow through the trees
Feel the heat rush through my sleeves
Sage and lilac fill the breeze
Lazy summer come to me.
Studly Do-Right
Well, everyone knows that you’re a stud
You’re sexy, you’re cool, you’re number one
So take a bow and drink some beer
‘Cause everyone knows that’s why you’re here
Oh, you’re in the limelight, Studly Do-Right.
Well, drink a pitcher and drink some more
Ten gallons later you’re on the floor
Well, if you do something, you do it right
You don’t learn something overnight
Well, no one can hold it in like Studly Do-Right!
Well, you can’t recall what you said last night with all that anti-freeze in your stomach,
You’re gonna wake up one fine morning with a great big hangover from it,
So take some aspirin and eat some bread,
Drink some beer, are you well fed?
Yeah, everyone knows that you’re a stud
You dress so cool, you’re number one
And every hair is in its place
Looks so good on your plastic face
Well, you’re right on time, Studly Do-Right!
Well, everyone knows that you’re a stud
You’re sexy, you’re cool, you’re number one
And everybody loves you here
‘Cause you’re the one who buys all the beer!
Well, you’re in the limelight
Oh, you’re in the limelight
Yes, you’re in the limelight,
Studly Do-Right!
Down East in a Harbor Town
Down east in a harbor town
In a morning fog
A lobsterman waits for the sun
With his faithful dog.
Seagulls gather on a rock
And talk about the day
I can hear the bells of a bouy
Across the bay.
Took a boat to the island
A place that I once knew
Just thought I could find an old friend or two
Just an old friend or two.
Just came here from L.A.
Where the world’s in a race
And maybe I’ll go back again
After this gentle pace.
The girl that I knew here
She was my best friend
I wonder if she’s still around
You know I’d love to see her again.
She said “If you come back,
Please look for me here,
Share just one tear?”
Just one tear.
Warm breezes down by the cove
Danced through her brown hair
But the pines and the beaches
Look empty now
Without her there.
Found the house where her folks live
I knocked on the door
I can hear the clatter of tired boots
On the wooden floor.
They are like the ocean
Calm but full of fear
The gentle hand of God
Keeps them near, keeps them near.
So I stayed for dinner
In the warmth of the cottage heat
His wife brought out blueberry pie
But I just couldn’t eat.
In the soul of his weathered face
He’s an old salty type
I asked him where can Joan be
And he said through his pipe.
He said, “She went to L.A.
Just a couple of months ago,
Why she’d ever go there
I don’t know.”
He said, “She went to L.A.
Just a couple of months ago,
Why she’d ever go there
I don’t know.”
“I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know.”
You're the Hole in My Doughnut if You Leave
You're the beer in my mug
You're the gravy on my biscuit
You're the flower that attracts the honeybee
You're the gas in my tractor
You're the hay in my barn
You'll be the hole in my doughnut if you leave
You'll be the hole in my doughnut
The hole in my doughnut
The hole in my doughnut if you leave
You're the beer in my mug
You're the hay my barn
You'll be the hole in my doughnut if you leave
Now these here words are lucid
But this here song is stupid
But that's the kind of song we like to sing
It may be kind of shorty
And it won't make the top forty
You're the hole in my doughnut if you leave
You're the hole in my doughnut
The hole in my doughnut
The hole in my doughnut if you leave
You're the beer in my mug
You're the hay my barn
You'll be the hole in my doughnut if you leave
