Happy birthday Jerry! Thank you for everything! Must be getting early Clocks are running late Paint by Number morning sky Looks so phony Dawn is breaking everywhere Light a candle, curse the glare Draw the curtains I don't care, cause It's all right I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive I see you've got your list out Say your piece and get out Yes I get the gist of it, but It's all right Sorry that you feel that way The only thing there is to say Every silver lining's got a Touch of grey I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive It's a lesson to me The ables and the beggars and the theives. The ABC's we all must face To try to keep a little grace It's a lesson to me The Deltas and the East and the Freeze The ABC's we all think of To try to win a little love I know the HOUSE is in arrears The dog has not been fed in years It's even worse than it appears But it's all right Cow is giving kerosene Kid can't read at seventeen The words he knows are all obscene, but It's all right I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive The shoe is on the hand it fits There's really nothing much to it Whistle through your teeth and spit, 'cause It's all right Oh well a touch of grey Kinda suits you anyway, That was all I had to say, and It's all right I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive We will get by, we will get by, we will get by, we will survive. We will get by, we will get by, we will get by, we will survive. Touch of Grey runs chills up my spine just hearing the opening notes. see you on the other side capt trips
The bottles stand as empty, as they were filled before. Time there was and plenty, but from that cup no more. Though I could not caution all, I still might warn a few: Don't lend your hand to raise no flag atop no ship of fools. Ship of fools on a cruel sea, ship of fools sail away from me. It was later than I thought, when I first believed you, Now I cannot share your laughter, ship of fools.
Lay down my dear brother, lay down and take your rest, Won't you lay your head upon your savior's chest, I love you all, but Jesus loves you the best And we bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight. I would never ride, well, I would never ride ( goodnight, goodnight ) But His rod and His staff, they comfort me ( goodnight, goodnight ) Tell "A" for the ark, that wonderful boat ( goodnight, goodnight ) Tell "B" for the beast at the ending of the wood ( goodnight, goodnight ) You know it ate all the children when they wouldn't be good, Walking in Jerusalem just like John ( goodnight, goodnight ) I go walking in the valley of the shadow of death, And we bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight.
I been balling a shiny black steel jack-hammer, been chippin' up rocks for the great highway, I live five years if I take my time, ballin' that jack and drinkin' my wine. I been chippin' them rocks from dawn till doom, while my rider hide my bottle in the other room. Doctor say I better stop ballin' that jack, if I live five years, I gonna bust my back, yes I will.
Well in spite of all you gained you still had to stand out in the pouring rain One last voice is calling you and I guess its time you go Just one thing I ask of you, just one thing for me Please forget you know my name, my darling sugaree Shake it, shake it sugaree, just dont tell them that you know me Shake it, shake it sugaree, just dont tell them that you know me
