00:00I came home to find the lights all burning bright
00:30And I was feeling good inside
00:34A friend who'd seen me through the night
00:40And you know that thing that hits you
00:44When you realize you've thrown it far too high
00:51And as I called your name around the place
00:56And silence was there a light to find
01:04I saw it in the movies and I smiled
01:11When little Egypt, she slipped away
01:15Left a city in line
01:21And the fallacy of running from disaster
01:27Or a river crash to dry
01:31And as I waited half expecting her
01:37And silence was there a light to find
01:43For the second time in the year
01:53I was broken
01:57I was broken
02:05I was broken
02:11Again
02:15Then
02:21The
02:23I was broken
02:25And there
02:27So
02:29Only
02:30guitar solo
02:59guitar solo
03:29I disbelieved a lot and stayed inside
03:35And silence makes the air and I apply
03:43I'm a little town boy, never felt free
04:00I was tired to my job, I'm tired to my people
04:02Living like a chili bean in a can
04:05Till along one day come a yo-yo man
04:08He went where he wanted and he did what he pleased
04:12He never had it hard, had a lemon come easy
04:15Mighty good words from a mighty young man
04:17Couldn't leave my home or my friends if I can
04:20Be a yo-yo man at the playground
04:22Putting on a show, talking to the little kids
04:24Listen to me yo-yo, icy cola, scooter pie
04:28Slippin' at the Y
04:31So I left my home and I went out west
04:38Headed up north to sea
04:40Which I like, there's bright light cities
04:42Oh, your little dark town
04:43It's a yo-yo man, he's gotta get around
04:46I'm a hitching for a ride when the traveling's free
04:50All the city living signs look alike too
04:53Traveling man's like a yo-yo top
04:55Once a gate to spin him but he just can't stop
04:58He's a yo-yo man at the playground
05:00Putting on a show, talking to the little kids
05:03Listen to me yo-yo, icy cola, scooter pie
05:06Slippin' at the Y
05:09Babies in the cradle, cats in the tree
05:23Walking in the dark, don't mean a thing to me
05:26Around the world, been a long time gone
05:29There ain't a yo-yo, mate
05:30With a string that long
05:33It's a yo-yo song at the playground
05:35Putting on a show, talking to the little kids
05:38Listen to me yo-yo, icy cola, scooter pie
05:42Slippin' at the Y
05:45Here's a yo-yo down at the playground
05:48Putting on a show, talking to the little kids
05:51Listen to me yo-yo, icy cola, scooter pie
06:08guitar solo
06:09guitar solo
06:39guitar solo
07:09And sometimes a bottle of perfume
07:14Candy or maybe some mace
07:23And men brought Louise ten-cent trinkets
07:31But their intentions were easily trace
07:38And everybody knew the times she cried
07:46Ah, but women like Louise, they'd get by
07:55And everybody thought it kind of sad
08:02When they found Louise in the room
08:10They'd always put her down below their kind
08:18Still some cried when she died this afternoon
08:25Now Louise, she rode home on the mail train
08:34Somewhere to the south I heard men say
08:43Too bad it ended so ugly
08:50Too bad, too bad she had to go this way
08:59Out of the wind
09:02It's blowing cold tonight
09:06So goodnight, Louise
09:12Goodnight
09:13Goodnight
09:43The sun's already shining
09:46So what are you saying to me?
09:55And I'm on a hill and slowly climbing
09:59It can depend on where I'll be
10:05And mercy knows I'm getting hungry
10:12The years have helped me miss the pain
10:18And everybody knows on time I'll be there
10:26Once again
10:30If you're gonna try
10:36You gotta face the music
10:40If you wanna dance
10:44You gotta call the tune
10:46If you're throwing high
10:50I wanna see you use it
10:53If you're gonna make it
10:57Make it sing
11:06And I had a friend, a country singer
11:11He said
11:13He said
11:14He'd figured out the game
11:17But that was back in 57
11:23Now he says
11:27He can't recall my name anymore
11:31Mercy knows
11:34Mercy knows
11:35I'm getting hungry
11:37The years they've helped me miss the pain
11:44And everybody knows on time I'll be there
11:51Once again
11:53Once again
11:55Once again
11:56If you're gonna try
12:02You gotta face the music
12:05If you wanna dance
12:09You gotta call the tune
12:11If you're throwing high
12:15I wanna see you use it
12:18If you're gonna make it
12:21I wanna see you use it
12:24To make it
12:26annah
12:38If king and queen can be relied on
12:57Cause we know they're sounding free from sin
13:03When you tried it once, it was confining
13:10Now it seems you're on the road again
13:17Unless he knows I'm getting hungry
13:23The years they've helped me miss the pain
13:30Everybody knows on time I'll be there
13:37Once again
13:40Once again
13:42If you're gonna try
13:48You gotta face the music
13:51If you wanna dance
13:56You gotta call it too
13:58If you're thrown high
14:02I wanna see you soon
14:06If you're gonna make it
14:09Make it soon
14:12I'll see you soon
14:17I'll see you soon
14:19I'll see you soon
14:23I'll see you soon
14:25I'll see you soon
14:27I just pulled onto the highway in my little foreign car
14:41It was raining and the road was really bad
14:58I don't recall that big old diesel but I heard him hit the air
15:02And I've a feeling that I might have made him mad
15:05He closed the gap between us
15:08Burst his pedal on the floor
15:10Making 90 in that big old diesel truck
15:13I can hear the names he's calling here
15:15But the engines roar
15:17And the words won't be found in Webster's book
15:20And there's diesel on my tail
15:22Making 90 miles an hour
15:24My reflection in my mirror's mighty pale
15:27I can hear St. Peter calling
15:30I can almost smell the flowers
15:32In this compact tank
15:33In the back there's diesel on my tail
15:35Well I'm huffing and I'm puffing
15:40As I try to make the grade
15:42And I wish I had some pedals on this car
15:44And then I'm slipping and I'm sliding
15:47And afraid to touch the brakes
15:49For this doodlebug could never stand the jar
15:52And there's a diesel on my tail
15:54Making 90 miles an hour
15:56My reflection in my mirror's mighty pale
15:59I can hear St. Peter calling
16:02I can almost smell the flowers
16:03Can this compact tank
16:05In fact there's diesel on my tail
16:07As I'm slipping and I'm sliding
16:12Trying to hold it in the road
16:13And I can tell you I just got to end this race
16:16While I'm trembling and I'm shaking
16:19He's blowing on the horn
16:21So close that I could steal his license plate
16:24And there's a diesel on my tail
16:26Making 90 miles an hour
16:28My reflection in my mirror's mighty pale
16:31I can hear St. Peter calling
16:33I can almost smell the bars
16:35Can this compact take the impact
16:37There's a diesel on my tail
16:39Can this compact take the impact
16:42There's a diesel on my tail
16:45Just a ship out on the ocean
16:51Just a speck against the sky
16:56A meteor air heart
16:59Flying out that day
17:02With her partner Captain Newman
17:07On the first day of July
17:11She fell into the ocean far away
17:18And there's a beautiful, beautiful fear
17:26Far away in a land that is fair
17:34Happy land that is fair
17:36Happy landings to you
17:40To Amelia's air heart
17:42Farewell, first lady of the air
17:46Farewell, first lady of the air
17:51Twenty minutes later
17:55Twenty minutes later
17:56An S.O.S. was heard
18:00The voice that came
18:02The voice that came
18:03Was weak
18:04Sounded gray
18:06In the shark infested waters
18:13The rain came down that day
18:16Then my heroes fell into a watery gray
18:23And there's a beautiful, beautiful fear
18:31Far away in a land that is fair
18:38Farewell, first lady of the air
18:40Happy landings to you
18:45Near your air heart
18:48Farewell, first lady of the air
18:55In the air
19:11On the air
19:14Under the air
19:16In the air
19:19Now you've heard the story
19:32Of this awful tragedy
19:35We pray that she may fly home safe again
19:42But in years to come, though others
19:48Blaze a trail across the sea
19:52We'll never forget Amelia and her place
19:59And there's a beautiful, beautiful field
20:07Far away in a land that is fair
20:15Happy landings to you
20:20We'll meet your air and heart
20:23Farewell, first lady of the air
20:31Yeah, yeah
20:38Yeah, yeah
20:42Yeah, yeah
20:49Some glad morning
21:08When this life is all
21:11I'll fly away
21:16To my home on God's celestial shore
21:23I'll fly away
21:27I'll fly away, oh glory
21:35I'll fly away
21:39By and by, hallelujah
21:44When I die
21:46I'll fly away
21:53There's just a few more weary days
22:09And then I'll fly away
22:15To a land
22:19Where joys will never end
22:22I'll fly away
22:27I'll fly away, oh glory
22:34I'll fly away
22:39By and by, hallelujah
22:44When I die
22:46I'll fly away
22:50I'll fly away
22:57You take it or you leave it
23:06But I'm telling anyhow
23:08And there's a story you should know
23:13Amelia was a hero in all of your hearts
23:20And that's all they want you to know
23:23She landed in the headlines on the first day of July
23:31When Electra hit the ocean bed
23:35And flying 1,500 miles from her allotted course
23:42Was not what all the newsstands said
23:46She left with Captain Noonan
23:51A navigating force
23:53From New Guinea to the Howland Isles
23:57And 30 minutes fuel left
24:02No landfall came to cry
24:04And all of us believed them for a while
24:09Oh Amelia, it's true
24:13You're the lady of the air
24:16And this I'm not disputing anyhow
24:20But if what Mr. Gore said
24:24Is only half the truth
24:27Then hear you
24:29For 30 days the Lexington
24:36And others searched the sea
24:38Before pronouncing
24:41Earhart lost
24:42It all was going smoothly
24:47And the senators relaxed
24:49Amelia and Newman paid the cost
24:54Then a CBS man
24:57Gunner was confused by all the facts
25:01He said there's someone telling lies
25:05Amelia's plane
25:08Amelia's plane was not the one
25:10They detailed in the news
25:12The fuel tanks alone are twice that size
25:17Oh Amelia, it's true
25:20You're the lady of the air
25:24And this I'm not disputing anyhow
25:27But if what Mr. Gore said
25:32Is only half the truth
25:35Then we'll lie
25:37And Jesus, I lost one of many
25:52And Jesus, I lost one of many
25:56He had no call to lie
26:08He was working in the harbor that day
26:12And Saipan was a wartime stronghold
26:17From hold of the Japanese
26:19And Hazen saw the flyers land away
26:24So who's to point the finger more
26:28So who's to say what's right
26:31Me, I just wanted you to hear
26:35How brave Amelia Earhart
26:39You're the lady of the air
26:42And Frederick Noonan ended their careers
26:47Oh Amelia, it's true
26:50You're the lady of the air
26:54And this I'm not disputing anyhow
26:57But if what Mr. Gore said
27:02Is only half the truth
27:05Then Amelia
27:06Oh Amelia
27:12Oh Amelia
27:36Even the guiding light of days
27:45In the loving underground
27:48We'll find it shady weather
27:52We're here today
27:54I went up on the left
28:00And didn't find the salt around
28:04That's just me
28:07Who am I the same
28:10When it's all the same
28:14So many miles away
28:18Now we're falling over all these chiefs
28:32And running out of praise
28:35It's getting hard to know
28:38Just what to say
28:40Was it time when I could find
28:47Belief in Jesus' name
28:51And suddenly came
28:54And took it all away
28:56I reckon we were saving
29:02For a rainy day
29:04And there's no way
29:17To touch upon
29:18This understanding
29:21And we know
29:22How close it was
29:24To be the sea of the sand
29:28Heaven knows we had the time
29:34And as I see the only crime
29:38Is being just a little short of land
29:43Send me home with a country song
29:49Leave it ringing round
29:53Ask my friends
29:56They know which one to play
29:58And even the guiding light of days
30:05In the loving underground
30:08Find the shady weather
30:12Here today
30:14Then it's all the same
30:18So many miles away
30:22guitar solo
30:27Yeah
30:27Yeah
37:55Oh, you're dreaming with me.
38:25Oh, you're dreaming with me.
38:55Oh, you're dreaming with me.
39:25Oh, you're dreaming with me.
39:32Oh, you're dreaming with me.
39:37Oh, you're dreaming with me.
39:39Oh, you're dreaming with me.
39:44Oh, you're dreaming with me.
39:51Oh, you're dreaming with me.
