(GUITAR INTRO)
|
|
the old cat on the roof
|
|
he could stand a little push
|
|
'cause he's got nine good lives to live
|
|
but like my momma said
|
|
you only live till you're dead
|
|
and you got to give and give and give
|
|
|
|
there's a pebble in the pond
|
|
goin' on and on,
|
|
makin' waves and tides and ripples and rings
|
|
there's a leaf in the wind
|
|
that don't know where to end
|
|
chasin' days and ways and wishes and dreams
|
|
|
|
seems like ev'ry one
|
|
is out lookin' for the sun
|
|
singin' rain and pain on he who hesitates
|
|
but it'll shine when it shines
|
|
you might think I'm wastin' time
|
|
but I'm just a good old boy that's learned to wait
|
|
|
|
whippoorwill's in the dawn
|
|
pretty soon, he'll be gone
|
|
and he's got one good song to sing
|
|
but like my daddy said,
|
|
it's in your heart, not your head
|
|
and you got to sing and sing and sing
|
|
|
|
there's a window in the wall
|
|
lookin' out on it all
|
|
leavin' fears and tears and troubles alone
|
|
there's a fire in the stove
|
|
keepin' out the cold,
|
|
warmin' wine and winters and babies and homes
|
|
|
|
seems like ev'ry one
|
|
is out lookin' for the sun
|
|
singin' rain and pain on he who hesitates
|
|
but it'll shine when it shines
|
|
you might think I'm wastin' time
|
|
but I'm just a good old boy that's learned to wait
|
|
|
|
yes, I'm just a good old boy that's learned to wait
|
