Альбом Arlo Guthrie

words and music by Arlo Guthrie

I was watching the news tonight
And all over the world
People were singing and carrying signs
All over the world
Every body walking hand in hand
Through cities that I've been
And though I'm not there tonight
You know I'll be back again
I'll be back again, I'll be back again

I'm on a plane tonight for Germany
And All over the world
There are lots of people just like you and me
All over the world
Who know the bomb must never fall again
All over the world
And we must all learn how to live as friends
All over the world
All over the world, all over the world

We are making the news tonight
All over the world
Because we know that what we do is right
All over the world
Every body walking hand in hand
All over the world
Through the streets of Europe and Japan
All over the world
All over the world, all over the world

words and Music by Arlo Guthrie

Too many women growing up wrong
Get an education thinking thoughts on their own
Making decisions telling men what to do
Look at the trouble that we're all going through
Russian girls could save the world

Here in America land of the free
Used to mean something to you and to me
You can't tell women what they really are for
Well then you ain't really free anymore
Russian girls could save the world

Meanwhile back in the U.S.S.R.
They're making women change tires on cars
Working in factories and incredible as it seems
They make them study gymnastics
And you know what that means!
Russian girls could save the world

words and Music by Arlo Guthrie

Here I am
Won't you take me in your arms tonight
And there you are
Looking like the stars are in your eyes
Here we go
You know it's been so long since we were lovers
I don't know
If I felt this way since then and baby why
Why we said good-bye
Why we sat and cried
Why we ever let this happen to us

I don't care
Where you've been, I've been there too
You know that
You and me
We had some growing on our own to do now
Let's get on
You know the time's a-wasting
Morning's breaking
Here we are
Looking like we used to be and baby why
Why we said good-bye
Why we sat and cried
Why we ever let this happen to us

There's a bird flying high
Way up in the air
And I am sitting here with you at my side
Way out in the country

There's a lot of real big trees
Rolling gently on the breeze
And I am playing with the bumble bees
Out in the country

Puffy clouds are in the air
If it rains well we won't care
'Cause you look good in your underwear
Way out in the country

Here I am
Let me take you in my arms and hold you
Once again
It feels like we are coming home and well
Remember when
We were young and so in love together
Here we are
Happy like we used to be, and baby why
Why we said good-bye
Why we stood and cried
Why we ever let this this happen to us

You know the time is at an end
And you and I can just be friends
And if we let this moment pass
I think we both know it won't come again

words and music by Arlo Guthrie

Someday l'll be there with you
When you're there I'll be there too
If you only knew
I will be with you

Someday we will meet again
When we meet I'll see you then
If you only knew
l'll be there with you

It will make this farewell seem
Little more than but a dream
If you only knew
Dreams are often true

Someday l'll be there with you
When you're there l'll be there too
If you only knew
I'll be there with you

Someday when we meet again
When we meet our sorrows end
If you only knew...

words and Music by Arlo Guthrie

I'd like to tell you a story
For just a minute or two
And if you don't want to hear it
Just be quiet if some others do
I'd like to get me a satellite
Way up over the world
And say hello everybody and you too girl

This is me your friend A.G.
Speaking to you from above
Here in the land of America
Sending everybody love
I'd like to tell the whole world
In every foreign land
Today looks like a day for holding hands

Today ain't nothing special
It's just an average day
But we could get together
And watch the children play
Tomorrow will be soon enough
To return to blood and guns
Let's just take the day off and have some fun

Today we tell the hungry
That food is on the way
Today we tell the sick ones
That soon you'll be okay
Today we tell the prisoners
That soon you will be free
Don't no one take this microphone from me

And while I'm up here honey
I got a message for you
I know I've got just a little while
So let me end it through
The whole world's dancing 'round and 'round
Like a universe of fools
And ain't it wonderful to see
A day that breaks the rules
Like a day that's made for me and you
Oh ain't it wonderful to see
A day that breaks the rules
Like a day that's made for me and you

words by Terry Hall music by Arlo Guthrie

Mom's just a throw-back
To the sixties generation
All that junk like peace and love
Is just an aggravation
Ain't got no use for transcendental meditation
Mom, you're universal love is such a drag

*Well Mom said Dad
He might've been a Virgo
Or a head shop owner
Or two freaks from San Francisco
A washed out surfer with his body golden tanned
Or some lead singer in a psychedelic band

Feeding me granola
And other flakey stuff
You told me meat was hostile
But I just can't get enough
Being vegetarian just ain't quite my scene
There's only so much you can do with soy beans
Mom, your universal love is such a drag

Mom keeps telling me
About her days at Woodstock
Half a million space-balls
And all of them with their feet stuck
Freaking out on acid and what Bob Dylan says
I think she's tryin' to turn me into Joan Baez

Oh Mom can't you tell me where your head's at
I'm sick to death of hearing about
Where you saw the Grateful Deads at
Oh Mom, don't you know this is the eighties?
Oh Mom, can't you relate to what the date is?

Mom's just a throw-back
To the sixties generation
All that junk like peace and love
Is just an aggravation
Ain't got no use for transcendental meditation
Mom, your universal love is such a drag

words and music by Robb (Rabbitt) MacKay

Now there's a new craze a-goin' 'round
It's gettin' bigger in most every town
From New York City out to Hollywood
Got everybody in the neighborhood

CHORUS:
Down in the unemployment line
You got yourself a place and I got mine
We been here waitin' since the clock struck nine
Down in the unemployment line

Now every day you've got to fight the horde
Just to read what's on the bulletin board
When you go back and try and claim your space
Some other sucker come and stole your place

CHORUS

I hope the people in the government
Tell us how we're gonna pay the rent
How we're gonna get enough to eat
No that the workin' man is obsolete

If things keep goin' like they seem they do
Won't be long before they're down here too
And they can be a part of this here mob
Workin' nine to five to find a job

CHORUS

words and music by Arlo Guthrie

Gonna sit right here and sing myself a tune
That I wrote one afternoon
After everyone had gone
And I know that this won't mean a lot to you
You've got better things to do
But for me I'll just go on

Old dog is Iying in the middle of the road
He don't do nothing 'cause he don't want to
And I think I'm gonna like that hound
'Cause the more he sits around
The less I want to do too

Gonna sit right here and watch the world roll by
Till we both just up and die
Watching clouds and eating flies

Don't want to bother no one
Don't want nothing here to change
A dusty road is all we've ever dreamed of

And I think I'm gonna love this life
Maybe someday take a wife
She can join us if she wants to

Ain't nobody gonna tell what to do
If a car comes we just move
And we both move real smooth like

Old dog is moving must be something in the air
Some bitch is coming up the road now
And I think I'm gonna like that hound
'Cause the more he gets around
The more I want to do too

words and music by Arlo Guthrie

There's sometimes I don't believe in nothing
Sometimes I do
That's why it hurts to believe in you
Though I know that pain and sorrow
Ain't nothing new
It really hurts to be hurt by you

Lost my job to no one
Lost my baby to another man
That's what I get for going to 'Nam
Give my life to my country
Now they put me on the welfare line
No it won't be water but fire next time

Sometimes I want to go back to the city
Where I spent my youth
Where I had nothing and nothing to lose

Someday when this country needs a helping hand
And they want mine
l'll tell them "Buddy just get in line"
And when my baby comes back crying
Cause her lover ain't around no more
I'll kick that smart ass out the door

There's times I don't believe in nothing
Sometimes I do
That's why it hurts to believe in you
Though I know that pain and sorrow
Ain't nothing new
It really hurts to be hurt by you
It really hurts to be hurt by you

words and music by Arlo Guthrie

The sun is sinking down
I'm standing 'round my window
You say you're going away
But I believe in love

CHORUS:
The power of love divine
Will surely shine you'll see
And guide us to where we ought to be
You and me

The moon is coming up
And I'm still here in prayer
You say you've had enough
And that you just don't care

CHORUS

But while the stars are coming out
And light shines from above
You tell me in my dreams
That you believe in love

CHORUS

The sun is coming up
A rainbow on my window
You say you're going away
And even though you do

The power of love divine
Will surely shine you'll see
And guide you home again to be...
You and me
