Big City
---------------
Verse 1:
I'm tired of this dirty old city.
Entirely too much work and never enough play.
And I'm tired of these dirty old sidewalks.
Think I'll walk off my steady job today.
Chorus:
Turn me loose, set me free, somewhere in the middle of Montanna.
And gimme all I got comin' to me,
And keep your retirement and your so called social security.
Big City turn me loose and set me free.
Verse 2:
Been working everyday since I was twenty.
Haven't got a thing to show for anything I've done.
There's folks who never work and they've got plenty.
Think it's time some guys like me had some fun.
Chorus
Mama Tried
--------------
The first thing I remember knowin' was a lonesome whistle blowin', And a youngun's dream of growin' up to ride, On a freight train leavin' town, not knowin' where I'm bound. And no one could change my mind but Momma Tried. One and only Rebel child from a fam'ly meek and mild My momma seemed to to know what lay in store, 'Spite all my Sunday learnin' towards the bad I kept on turnin', 'Til momma couldn't hold me anymore.
Chorus
And I turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole, No one could steer me right but Mamma Tried, Momma Tried Momma Tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied And that leaves only me to blame, cause Momma Tried
Verse 3:
Dear ole' daddy, rest his soul left my mom a heavy load, She tried so very hard to feel his shoes, Workin' hours without rest, wanted me to have the best She tried to raise me right but I refused. Chorus
Okie From Muskogee
---------------------------------
We don't smoke marijuana in, Muskogee We don't take no trips on LSD We don't burn no draft cards down on Main Street We like livin' right, bein' free An' we don't make no party outta lovin' We like holdin' hands an' pitchin' woo We don't let our hair grow long n' shaggy Like the hippies out in San Francisco do And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee A place where even squares can have a ball We still wave old glory down at the Court House An' white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all An' leather boots are still in style for manly footwear Beads an' Roman sandals won't be seen Football is still the roughest thing on campus And the kids, they still respect the college dean And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee A place where even squares can have a ball We still wave Old Glory, down at the Court House An' white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all An' white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all In Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA (Eeeeeeeee)
Twinkle, Twinkle,Lucky Star
--------------------------------------------
Twinkle, twinkle lucky star Can you send me luck from where you are Can you make a rainbow shine that far Twinkle, twinkle lucky star. Can you really make a wish come true And do you shine on just a chosen few Is it over, have I gone to far Twinkle, twinkle lucky star (bridge) -
Like two ships on the ocean, we drifted apart And you found an island at sea I'm still adrift with this pain in my heart Won't you send her sweet love back to me Twinkle, twinkle lucky star Twinkle, twinkle lucky star Can you send me luck from where you are Can you make a rainbow shine that far Twinkle, twinkle lucky star.
