"Reflections of a Boomer"

 

 

I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain.

I’ve been through the desert on a horse with no name.

 

I’ve gone to Kansas City, I’ve sang in the sunshine.

I’ve been on the road again, with Georgia on my mind.

 

Like a rolling stone, I’ve given peace a chance.

I’ve put my camel to bed, and danced the last dance.

 

Mr. Tambourine Man played a song for me,

I’ve whispered words of wisdom, let it be.

 

I’ve fell into a burning ring of fire, and walked the line,

To all the girls I’ve loved before, you were always on my mind.

 

I’ve been everywhere, I’ve been so lonesome I could cry,

I’ve driven my Chevy to the levee when the levee was dry.

 

I’ve been to Itchycoo Park in a yellow submarine.

I’ve made the scene in a time machine.

 

I’ve done the Hokey Pokey and turned myself around.

I’ve welcomed baby back to the poor side of town.

 

 

I’ve followed the tracks of my tears down a long and winding road.

I’ve kept on searching for a heart of gold.

 

I’ve sought shelter from the storm, I’ve sat on the dock of the bay.

I’ve rocked around the clock, on a sunshiny day.

 

I’ve knocked on heaven’s door, blowing in the wind.

Joy to the world, those were the days my friend.

 

Lay lady lay, in crimson and clover.

It’s been a hard day’s night, the party’s over.
