I used to be a rolling stone You

know if the cause was right I'd

leave to find the answer on the road I

used to be a heart beating for someone But

the times have changed The less

I say the more my work gets done 'Cause

I live and breathe this Philadelphia

freedom From the day that I was

born I've waved the flag Philadelphia

freedom took me knee-high to a man Yeah

gave me peace of mind my daddy never

had Oh Philadelphia freedom shine

on me, I love you Shine a light

through the eyes of the ones left

behind Shine a light shine a light Shine

a light won't you shine a light Philadelphia

freedom I love you, yes I do If

you choose to you can live your life

alone Some people choose the city Some

others choose the good old family

home I like living easy without

family ties Till the whippoorwill

of freedom zapped me Right between

the eyes

SAW A CADILLAC FOR THE FIRST TIME YESTERDAY
I'D ALWAYS SEEN HORSES, BUGGIES, BALES OF HAY
'CAUSE PROGRESS HERE DON'T MOVE WITH MODERN TIMES
THERE'S NOTHING TO STEAL
SO THERE'S NOT A GREAT DEAL OF CRIME
IT SURE IS HELL LIVING IN A ONE HORSE TOWN
THERE'S HALF A MILE OF ALABAMA MUD BED GROUND
NOTHING MUCH DOING OF AN AFTERNOON
UNLESS YOU'RE SITTING IN A ROCKING CHAIR JUST PICKING A TUNE
AND THEY AIN'T TOO WELL ACQUAINTED WITH THE STARS AND STRIPES
BUT IF YOU WANT TO HEAR SUSANNA THEN THEY'LL PICK ALL NIGHT
THEY'LL PICK ALL NIGHT
'CAUSE IT'S NO DICE LIVING IN A ONE HORSE TOWN
LAID BACK, AS MY OLD COON HOUND
AND I JUST CAN'T WAIT TO GET OUT OF THIS ONE HORSE TOWN
THERE'S NOTHING TO STEAL 'CAUSE THERE'S SIMPLY NOTHING MUCH AROUND
SURE IS HELL LIVING IN THIS ONE HORSE TOWN
THERE'S HALF A MILE OF ALABAMA MUD BED GROUND
AND I JUST CAN'T WAIT TO GROW OUT OF THIS ONE HORSE TOWN
THERE'S NOTHING TO STEAL 'CAUSE THERE'S NOTHING MUCH AROUND

HAVE YOU EVER LIVED IN A CAGE
WHERE YOU LIVE TO BE WHIPPED AND BE TAMED
FOR I'VE NEVER LOVED IN A CAGE
OR TALKED TO A FRIEND OR JUST WAVED
WELL I WALK WHILE THEY TALK ABOUT VIRTUE
JUST RAISED ON MY BACK LEGS AND SNARLED
WATCHED YOU KISS YOUR OLD DADDY WITH PASSION
AND TELL DIRTY JOKES AS HE DIED
BUT I'M DAMNED WHEN I REALLY CARE THERE
FOR THE CELLAR'S THE ROOM IN YOUR LIVES
WHERE YOU LACE YOURSELF WITH BAD WHISKEY
AND CLOSE THE CAGE DOORS ON YOUR LIFE
WELL I PRAY WHILE YOU BATHE IN BAD WATER
SING SONGS THAT I LEARNT AS A BOY
THEN BREAK ALL THE BONES IN MY BODY
ON THE BARS YOU CAN NEVER DESTROY

I HEARD FROM A FRIEND YOU'D BEEN MESSING AROUND
WITH A CUTE LITTLE THING I'D BEEN DATING UPTOWN
WELL I DON'T KNOW IF I LIKE THAT IDEA MUCH
WELL YOU'D BETTER STAY CLEAR I MIGHT START ACTING ROUGH
YOU OUT OF TOWN GUYS SURE THINK YOU'RE REAL KEEN
THINK ALL OF US BOYS HERE ARE HOMESPUN AND GREEN
BUT THAT'S WRONG MY FRIEND SO GET THIS THROUGH YOUR HEAD
WE'RE TOUGH AND WE'RE TEXAN WITH NECKS GOOD AND RED
SO IT'S KI YI YIPPIE YI YI
YOU LONG HAIRS ARE SURE GONNA DIE
OUR AMERICAN HOME WAS CLEAN TILL YOU CAME
AND KIDS STILL RESPECTED THE PRESIDENT'S NAME
AND THE EAGLE STILL FLEW IN THE SKY
HEARTS FILLED WITH NATIONAL PRIDE
THEN YOU CAME ALONG WITH YOUR DRUG CRAZY SONGS
GODDAMIT YOU'RE ALL GONNA DIE
HOW DARE YOU SIT THERE AND DRINK ALL OUR BEER
OH IT'S MADE FOR US WORKERS WHO SWEAT, SPIT AND SWEAR
THE MINDS OF OUR DAUGHTERS ARE POISONED BY YOU
WITH YOUR COMMUNISTIC POLITICS AND THEM NEGRO BLUES
WELL I'M GONNA QUIT TALKING AND TAKE ACTION NOW
RUN ALL OF YOU FAIRIES CLEAN OUT OF THIS TOWN
OH I'M DOG TIRED OF WATCHING YOU MESS UP OUR LIVES
SPENDING THE SUMMERTIME NATURALLY HIGH
AND IT'S KI YI YIPPIE YI YI
YOU LONG HAIRS ARE SURE GONNA DIE
OUR AMERICAN HOME WAS CLEAN TILL YOU CAME
AND KIDS STILL RESPECTED THE PRESIDENT'S NAME
AND THE EAGLE STILL FLEW IN THE SKY
HEARTS FILLED WITH NATIONAL PRIDE
THEN YOU CAME ALONG WITH YOUR DRUG CRAZY SONGS
GODDAMIT YOU'RE ALL GONNA DIE
GODDAMIT YOU'RE ALL GONNA DIE
OH LORD, GODDAMIT YOU'RE ALL GONNA DIE, LISTEN NOW

SNOW, CEMENT AND IVORY YOUNG TOWERS
SOMEONE CALLED US BABYLON
THOSE HUNGRY HUNTERS
TRACKING DOWN THE HOURS
BUT WHERE WERE ALL YOUR SHOULDERS WHEN WE CRIED
WERE THE DARLINGS ON THE SIDELINE
DREAMING UP SUCH CHERISHED LIES
TO WHISPER IN YOUR EAR BEFORE YOU DIE
IT'S PARTY TIME FOR THE GUYS IN THE TOWER OF BABEL
SODOM MEET GOMORRAH, CAIN MEET ABEL
HAVE A BALL Y'ALL
SEE THE LETCHES CRAWL
WITH THE CALL GIRLS UNDER THE TABLE
WATCH THEM DIG THEIR GRAVES
'CAUSE JESUS DON'T SAVE THE GUYS
IN THE TOWER OF BABEL
WATCH THEM DIG THEIR GRAVES
'CAUSE JESUS DON'T SAVE THE GUYS
IN THE TOWER OF BABEL, NO NO NO
JUNK, ANGEL, THIS CLOSET'S ALWAYS STACKED
THE DEALERS IN THE BASEMENT
FILLING YOUR PRESCRIPTION
FOR A BRAND NEW HEART ATTACK
BUT WHERE WERE ALL YOUR SHOULDERS WHEN WE CRIED
WERE THE DOCTORS IN ATTENDANCE
SAYING HOW THEY FELT SO SICK INSIDE
OR WAS IT JUST THE SCALPEL BLADE THAT LIED
IT'S PARTY TIME FOR THE GUYS IN THE TOWER OF BABEL
SODOM MEET GOMORRAH, CAIN MEET ABEL
HAVE A BALL Y'ALL
SEE THE LETCHES CRAWL
WITH THE CALL GIRLS UNDER THE TABLE
WATCH THEM DIG THEIR GRAVES
'CAUSE JESUS DON'T SAVE THE GUYS
IN THE TOWER OF BABEL
WATCH THEM DIG THEIR GRAVES
'CAUSE JESUS DON'T SAVE THE GUYS
IN THE TOWER OF BABEL, NO NO NO
IT'S PARTY TIME FOR THE GUYS IN THE TOWER OF BABEL
SODOM MEET GOMORRAH, CAIN MEET ABEL
HAVE A BALL Y'ALL
SEE THE LETCHES CRAWL
WITH THE CALL GIRLS UNDER THE TABLE
WATCH THEM DIG THEIR GRAVES
'CAUSE JESUS DON'T SAVE THE GUYS
IN THE TOWER OF BABEL
WATCH THEM DIG THEIR GRAVES
'CAUSE JESUS DON'T SAVE THE GUYS
IN THE TOWER OF BABEL, NO NO NO

I CAN SEE BY YOUR EYES YOU MUST BE LYING
WHEN YOU THINK I DON'T HAVE A CLUE
BABY YOU'RE CRAZY
IF YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN FOOL ME
BECAUSE I'VE SEEN THAT MOVIE TOO
THE ONE WHERE THE PLAYERS ARE ACTING SURPRISED
SAYING LOVE'S JUST A FOUR LETTER WORD
BETWEEN FORCING SMILES, WITH THE KNIVES IN THEIR EYES
WELL THEIR ACTIONS BECOME SO ABSURD
SO KEEP YOUR AUDITIONS FOR SOMEBODY
WHO HASN'T GOT SO MUCH TO LOSE
'CAUSE YOU CAN TELL BY THE LINES I'M RECITING
THAT I'VE SEEN THAT MOVIE TOO
SO KEEP YOUR AUDITIONS FOR SOMEBODY
WHO HASN'T GOT SO MUCH TO LOSE
'CAUSE YOU CAN TELL BY THE LINES I'M RECITING
I'VE SEEN THAT MOVIE TOO
IT'S A HABIT I HAVE, I DON'T GET PUSHED AROUND
STOP TWINKLING YOUR STAR LIKE YOU DO
I'M NOT THE BLUE PRINT FOR ALL OF YOUR 'B' FILMS
BECAUSE I'VE SEEN THAT MOVIE TOO
THE ONE WHERE THE PLAYERS ARE ACTING SURPRISED
SAYING LOVE'S JUST A FOUR LETTER WORD
BETWEEN FORCING SMILES, WITH THE KNIVES IN THEIR EYES
ALL THEIR ACTIONS BECOME SO ABSURD
SO KEEP YOUR AUDITIONS FOR SOMEBODY
WHO HASN'T GOT SO MUCH TO LOSE
'CAUSE YOU CAN TELL BY THE LINES I'M RECITING
THAT I'VE SEEN THAT MOVIE TOO
SO KEEP YOUR AUDITIONS FOR SOMEBODY
WHO HASN'T GOT SO MUCH TO LOSE
'CAUSE YOU CAN TELL BY THE LINES I'M RECITING
I'VE SEEN THAT MOVIE TOO
SO KEEP YOUR AUDITIONS FOR SOMEBODY
WHO HASN'T GOT SO MUCH TO LOSE
'CAUSE YOU CAN TELL BY THE LINES I'M RECITING
I'VE SEEN THAT MOVIE TOO
SO KEEP YOUR AUDITIONS FOR SOMEBODY
WHO HASN'T GOT SO MUCH TO LOSE
'CAUSE YOU CAN TELL BY THE LINES I'M RECITING
I'VE SEEN THAT MOVIE TOO

HAND IT OVER
REACH ACROSS THE LINE
LET'S TALK ABOUT IT, TELL ME ONE MORE TIME
WHAT IS IT YOU WANT
WHAT YOU THINK YOU'LL FIND
INSIDE OF THIS OLD HEART OF MINE
COME ON OUT
'CAUSE YOU WANNA PLAY
THE RAIN WENT EAST, COME TO ROLL AWAY
HERE YOU WENT TO CHOOSE AND YOU'RE GONNA STAY
SO I KNEW THAT'S THE PRICE I PAY
CAN'T YOU TELL THE DEAL'S BEEN DONE
WON'T YOU LET ME LOVE YOU
I DON'T SEE NO SMOKING GUN
I'M NOT UP HERE TO JUDGE YOU
WHAT DO YOU SEE WHEN YOU LOOK AT ME
TELL THE MAN TO MEASURE
AM I THE LOVER YOU'D LIKE MY LOVE
OR JUST SOME GUILTY PLEASURE
I ROAMED AROUND
LOOKING FOR A CLUE
SEARCHED THE WORLD IT'S WHAT I USED TO DO
WHERE I WENT
WHAT I WENT THOUGH
A BIT TOO HARD TO FIND A WAY TO YOU
I CAN'T MOVE SO
NEVER REALLY COULD
SING A SONG THAT YOU UNDERSTOOD
IT'S WHAT YOU DO WHEN YOU THINK YOU SHOULD
SURRENDER LIKE YOU KNEW YOU ALWAYS WOULD
CAN'T YOU TELL THE DEAL'S BEEN DONE
WON'T YOU LET ME LOVE YOU
I DON'T SEE NO SMOKING GUN
I'M NOT UP HERE TO JUDGE YOU
WHAT DO YOU SEE WHEN YOU LOOK AT ME
TELL THE MAN TO MEASURE
AM I THE LOVER YOU'D LIKE MY LOVE
OR JUST SOME GUILTY PLEASURE
HOLD OUT, DISTILLING DOWN
WHAT'S IT GONNA BE
NEVER TELL
IN A MILLION YEARS
NO, YOU CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF ME
CAN'T YOU TELL THE DEAL'S BEEN DONE
WON'T YOU LET ME LOVE YOU
I DON'T SEE NO SMOKING GUN
I'M NOT UP HERE TO JUDGE YOU
WHAT DO YOU SEE WHEN YOU LOOK AT ME
TELL THE MAN TO MEASURE
AM I THE LOVER YOU'D LIKE MY LOVE
OR JUST SOME GUILTY PLEASURE
AM I THE LOVER YOU'D LIKE MY LOVE
OR JUST SOME GUILTY PLEASURE

OH MY LOVE
I HAVE CURSED THE STARS ABOVE
THAT LEAD MY HEART TO YOU
BUT AS HARD AS I TRY
STILL MY LOVE WILL NOT DIE
AND THE STARS STILL SHINE ON THROUGH
AND THE STARS STILL SHINE ON THROUGH
OH MY DEAR
NOW THIS SHIP'S TOO HARD TO STEER
THE TIDE HAS TURNED, TURNED ON YOU
I HAVE BEEN THROUGH THE LIES
THAT I'VE SEEN IN YOUR EYES
BUT THE TRUTH STILL SHINES ON THROUGH
BUT THE TRUTH IT STILL SHINES, SHINES ON THROUGH
SO SHINE, SHINE ON THROUGH THE DAYS WE HAVE TO FILL
THOUGH WE TOOK OUR LOVE SO DARINGLY
AND GAVE IT UP UNCARINGLY
THERE ARE FEELINGS LEFT NOT EVEN WE CAN KILL
OH MY FRIEND
SO AT LAST WE REACH THE END
THE LIGHTS GO DOWN ON CUE
I HAVE WASTED MY TIME
BUT IT TASTED OH SO FINE
THAT MY LOVE STILL SHINES, SHINES ON THROUGH
AND MY LOVE STILL SHINES, SHINES ON YOU
