The 'Downeaster' Alexa by Billy Joel lyrics

Well I'm on the Downeaster Alexa

And I'm cruising through Block Island Sound

I have charted a course to the vineyard

But tonight I am Nantucket bound

We took on diesel back in Montauk yesterday

Left this morning from the bell in Gardiner's Bay

Like all the locals here I've had to sell my home

Too proud to leave I worked my fingers to the bone

So I could own my Downeaster Alexa

And I go where the ocean is deep

There are giants out there in the canyons

And a good captain can't fall asleep

I got bills to pay and children who need clothes

I know there's fish out there but where God only knows

They say these waters aren't what they used to be

But I got people back on land who count on me

So if you see my Downeaster Alexa

And if you work with the rod and the reel

Tell my wife I am trolling Atlantis

And I still have my hands on the wheel

Now I drive my Downeaster Alexa

More and more miles from shore every year

Since they tell me I can't sell no stripers

And there's no luck in sword fishing here

I was a bay man like my father was before

Can't make a living as a bay man anymore

There ain't much future for a man who works the sea

But there ain't no island left for islanders like me

Yeah yeah yeah oh

Yeah yeah yeah oh

Yeah yeah yeah oh

Yeah yeah yeah oh

John Mayer Free fallin' lyrics

She's a good girl, loves her mamma

Loves Jesus and America, too

She's a good girl, crazy bout Elvis

Loves horses and her boyfriend too, yeah yeah

It's a long day, livin' in Reseda

There's a free way running through the yard

I'm a bad boy 'cause I don't even miss her

I'm a bad boy for breaking her heart

And I'm free

Free fallin', fallin'

And I'm free

Free fallin', fallin'

All the vampires, walkin' through the valley

They move west down Ventura Boulevard

And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows

And the good girls are home with broken hearts

And I'm free

Free fallin', fallin'

Now I'm free

Free fallin', fallin'

Free fallin', now I'm

Free fallin', now I'm

Free fallin', now I'm

Free fallin', now I'm

Free fallin', now I'm

Free fallin', now I'm

Free fallin', now I'm

Free fallin'

I wanna glide down, over Mulholland

Wanna write her name in the sky

I wanna free fall out into nothin'

Oh, I'm gonna leave this, this world for a while

Now I'm free

Free fallin', fallin'

Now I'm free

Free fallin', fallin'

Then I'm free

Free fallin', fallin'

Now I'm free

Free fallin', fallin'

Free fallin', fallin'

Free fallin', fallin'

Free fallin', fallin'

John Mayer Your body is a wonderland lyrics

We got the afternoon

You got this room for two

One thing I've left to do

Discover me

Discovering you

One mile to every inch of

Your skin like porcelain

One pair of candy lips and

Your bubblegum tongue

And if you want love

We'll make it

Swim in a deep sea

Of blankets

Take all your big plans

And break 'em

This is bound to be a while

Your body is a wonderland

Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)

Your body Is a wonderland

Something 'bout the way your hair falls in your face

I love the shape you take when crawling towards the pillowcase

You tell me where to go and

Though I might leave to find it

I'll never let your head hit the bed

Without my hand behind it

You want love?

We'll make it

Swim in a deep sea

Of blankets

Take all your big plans

And break 'em

This is bound to be a while

Your body is a wonderland

Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)

Your body Is a wonderland

Damn, baby

You frustrate me

I know you're mine all mine all mine

But you look so good it hurts sometimes

Your body is a wonderland

Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)

Your body Is a wonderland

Your body is a wonderland

Bryan Adams Straight From The Heart lyrics

When you're gone

I've been wanderin' around the house all night

Wondering what the hell to do

Yeah, I'm trying to concentrate but all I can think of is you

Well the phone don't ring 'cause my friends ain't home

I'm tired of being all alone

Got the TV on 'cause the radio's playing songs that remind me of you

Baby when you're gone I realize I'm in love

Days go on and on and the nights just seem so long

Even food don't taste that good, drink ain't doing what it should

Things just feel so wrong baby when you're gone

Yeah, I've been driving up and down these streets

Trying to find somewhere to go

Ya I'm lookin' for a familiar face but there's no one I know

Ah this is torture, this is pain

It feels like I'm gonna go insane

I hope you're coming back real soon 'cause I don't know what to do

Baby when you're gone I realize I'm in love

Days go on and on and the nights just seem so long

Even food don't taste that good, drink ain't doing what it should

Things just feel so wrong, baby when you're gone

Baby when you're gone I realize I'm in love

The days go on and on and the nights seem so long

Even food don't taste that good, drink ain't doing what it should

Things just feel so wrong baby when you're gone

Baby when you're gone, yeah

Baby when you're gone

Bryan Adams Summer Of '69 lyrics

I got my first real six-string

Bought it at the five-and-dime

Played it 'til my fingers bled

Was the summer of '69

Me and some guys from school

Had a band and we tried real hard

Jimmy quit, Jody got married

I should've known we'd never get far

Oh, when I look back now

That summer seemed to last forever

And if I had the choice

Yeah, I'd always wanna be there

Those were the best days of my life

Ain't no use in complainin'

When you've got a job to do

Spent my evenings down at the drive-in

And that's when I met you, yeah

Standin' on your mama's porch

You told me that you'd wait forever

Oh, and when you held my hand

I knew that it was now or never

Those were the best days of my life

Oh, yeah

Back in the summer of '69, oh

Man we were killin' time

We were young and restless

We needed to unwind

I guess nothin' can last forever, forever, no! yeah!

And now the times are changin'

Look at everything that's come and gone

Sometimes when I play that old six-string

I think about you, wonder what went wrong

Standin' on your mama's porch

You told me that it'd last forever

Oh, and when you held my hand

I knew that it was now or never

Those were the best days of my life

Oh, yeah

Back in the summer of '69, oh

It was the summer of '69, oh, yeah

Me and my baby in '69, oh

It was the summer, the summer, the summer of '69, yeah

Bryan Adams Heaven lyrics

Oh thinkin' about all our younger years

There was only you and me

We were young and wild and free

Now nothin' can take you away from me

We've been down that road before

But that's over now

You keep me comin' back for more

Baby, you're all that I want

When you're lyin' here in my arms

I'm findin' it hard to believe

We're in heaven

And love is all that I need

And I found it there in your heart

It isn't too hard to see

We're in heaven

Oh once in your life you find someone

Who will turn your world around

Bring you up when you're feelin' down

Yeah nothin' could change what you mean to me

Oh there's lots that I could say

But just hold me now

'Cause our love will light the way

And baby, you're all that I want

When you're lyin' here in my arms

I'm findin' it hard to believe

We're in heaven

Yeah and love is all that I need

And I found it there in your heart

It isn't too hard to see

We're in heaven, yeah

I've been waitin' for so long

For somethin' to arrive

For love to come along

Now our dreams are comin' true

Through the good times and the bad

Yeah I'll be standin' there by you

And baby, you're all that I want

When you're lyin' here in my arms

I'm findin' it hard to believe

We're in heaven

And love is all that I need

And I found it there in your heart

It isn't too hard to see

We're in heaven, heaven, oooh

You're all that I want

You're all that I need
