I dreamed I walked in heaven just the other night
There was so much beauty, so much light
Don't you wish it was true
Don't you wish it was true
An angel took my hand, said you don't have to hurry
You got all the time in the world, don't worry
Don't you wish it was true
Lord, Don't you wish it was true
But if tomorrow everybody was your friend
Anyone could take you in
No matter what or where you've been
But if tomorrow everybody had enough
The world wasn't quite so rough
Lord don't you wish it was true
He said the worlds gonna change and it's starting today
There'll be no more armies, no more hate
Don't you wish it was true
Don't you wish it was true
And all the little children who live happily
There'll be singing and laughter, sweet harmony
Don't you wish it was true
Lord, Don't you wish it was true
But if tomorrow
Everybody under the sun was happy just living as one
No borders or battles to be won
But if tomorrow
Everybody was your friend
Happiness would never end
Lord, don't you wish it was true
Alright!
[Solo]
But if tomorrow
Everybody under the sun was happy just to live as one
No borders or battles to be won
But if tomorrow
Everybody was your friend
Happiness would never end
Lord, don't you wish it was true
Lord, don't you wish it was true
Alright!
[Solo]
Oooooooweeeeee
What a beautiful day!

Lookin' out across this town
Kinda makes me wonder how
All the things that make us great
Got left so hard behind
This used to be a peaceful place
Decent folks hard workin' ways
Now they hide behind locked doors
Afraid to speak their minds
I think we need a gunslinger
Somebody tough to tame this town
I think we need a gunslinger
There'll be justice all around
Someone let the fences go
Wild eyed bunch moved in you know
Shootin' up the streets shoutin' everybody down
Dogs all runnin' loose
Wrecked the papers, closed the school
Tired old judge got roughed up too
No one left to make a stand
They whisper, "What's the use?"
I think we need a gunslinger
Somebody tough to tame this town
I think we need a gunslinger
There'll be justice all around
I think we need a gunslinger
Somebody tough to tame this town
I think we need a gunslinger
There'll be justice all around
I think we need a gunslinger
Somebody tough to tame this town
I think we need a gunslinger
There'll be justice all around

Daddy had a band
Played him a little guitar
Traveled in a van
Livin' that rock and roll
Night after night
People comin' up to the bandstand
Say you can't go wrong
If you play a little bit of that
Creedence song
It was late one night
Cruisin' on down the interstate
Stopped into a diner
To get him some chili and fries
Heard the waitress tell a guy
Standin' over by the jukebox
Hey you can't go wrong
If you play a little bit of that
Creedence song
Well daddy took a shine
To the lil' girl behind the counter
She movin' her hips to the swamp beat
Right on time
Said could he play her somethin'
Over there on the jukebox
She said you can't wrong
If you play a little bit of that
Creedence song
Daddy had a plan
He asked that girl to marry
With a brand new wife
They're livin' on rock and roll
Night after night
She whispers oh so sweetly
Hey you can't go wrong
If you play a little bit of that
Creedence song
. . .

If I was a gambling man,
Never would have let you play your hand
With the broken down cowboy like me
Cos you never can trust your luck
He's bad news in a pickup truck
A broken down cowboy like me
He played every card he's got
Had a good hand but he messed it up
With that bummer down tumbled down hard
Saddled banks for the pain
Carries them around just like her middle name
A losing streak play them or dont
[Chorus:]
Oh he stang you along sang you a lonesome song
But he wind up alone again
No matter how hard you try
Never gonna let you get inside
That tumbled down broken down hard
It's a tough riding rodeo
Mean hard stewin long time ago
A broken down cowboy like me
But the way I feel about you
Wouldn't want that horse to hurt you to
A broken down cowboy like me
[Chorus]
If I was a gambling man,
Never would have let you play that hand
With the broken down cowboy like me
. . .

The river is waiting
Come rise up
A new day is dawning
Come rise up
We be salin' at first light
Come Gather
Set our course for the crossing
Together
[Chorus:]
Sail on
Sail on
The river is waiting
Sail on
The river is waiting
I'm ready
To slip from this island
I'm ready
Gonna leave all my sorrow
Behind me
Lift my face to the new day
That's rising
[Chorus]

George is in the jungle
Knockin' on the door
Come to get your children
Wants to have a war
Come on, lord you'd better run,
Be a long dark night before this thing is done
Brownie's in the outhouse
Katrina on the line
Government's a disaster
But George, he says it's fine
Come on, lord you'd better run,
Be a long dark night before this thing is done
Rummy's in the kitchen messin' with the pan
Dickie's in the back stealing everything he can
Come on, Lord you'd better run,
Be a long dark night before this thing is done
You better run, you better run,
Lord you better run, Lord you better run,
Runnin' down the highway
Shoutin' to the Lord
George's got religion
And you know he can't afford more, yeah
Come on, Lord you'd better run
Be a long dark night before this thing is done
Be a long dark night before this thing is done, oh Lord

It was the summer of love
Freedom was in the air
Young people everywhere
So many questions if you dare
It was the summer of love
Stand back it will blow your mind
Never seen such a powerful time
Universe about to unwind
[Chorus:]
Reach out your arms
Touch the moon touch the sky
Face to the wind
To be free
It was the summer of love
So many people on the move
Flower children lookin' for the truth
Will they find it or just excuse
[Chorus]
. . .

Well the flower was made for beauty
And the bee was made to sting
All around this world
Honey it's a natural thing
It can shake the high and mighty
Bring a strong man to his knees
All around this world
Honey it's a natural thing
When a man gets up in the morning
He got to find that tiger to tame
All around this world
You know it's a natural thing
But a man alone ain't nothin'
Every Tarzan needs a Jane
All around this world
Honey it's a natural thing
Well the little girls lookin' so pretty
They make a poor man feel like a king
All around this world
Honey it's a natural thing
It drives a man to cross the desert
Or risk his life on a stormy sea
All around this world
Yeah it's a natural thing
Well the flower was made for beauty
And the bee was made to sting
All around this world
Honey it's a natural thing
All around this world

There goes your big black limousine
Shakin' your booty for the magazine
Peekin' and posin' like a wannabe
It ain't right
It ain't right
Such a waste of life
Maybe you forgot how we live down here
People work hard for the money dear
You had such a hard day lookin' at the mirror
It ain't right
It ain't right
Honey such a waste of life
Another long weekend with your friends
I thought that party would never end
Well up to your rehab and gone again
It ain't right
It ain't right
Honey such a waste of life
There goes your big black limousine
. . .

I can't take it no more
I can't take it no more
I'm sick and tired of your dirty little war
I can't take it no more
You know you lied about the casualties
You know you lied about the WMD's
You know you lied about the detainees
All over this world
Stop talking about staying the course
You keep a-beating that old dead horse
You know you lied about how we went to war
I can't take it no more
I can't take it
I can't take it
I bet you never saw the old school yard
I bet you never saw the national guard
Your daddy wrote a check and there you are
Another fortunate son
I can't take it no more
I can't take it no more
I'm sick and tired of your dirty little war
I can't take it no more

I been all around the world
Searching for my baby
Tell me where can she be
Lookin' high and low
Way back in Kokomo
It's still a mystery
Somebody help me
She don't want me no more
Somebody help me
I can't do this alone
I crossed the great wall of China
Spent my last dime
Way down the amazon
Swam the Indian Ocean
Been up in Nova Scotia
Where has my baby gone
Somebody help me
There's somethin' goin' wrong
Somebody help me
I can't do this alone
I went home to Pocatello Idaho
Can I find a familiar face
Askin' everybody everyone I know
She disappeared without a trace
Somebody help me
She don't want me no more
Somebody help me
I can't do this alone
Somebody help me
There's somethin' goin' wrong
Somebody help me
I can't do this alone
. . .

And I ain't no doctor and I ain't no nurse
Ain't gonna love you babe and nothin' could be worse
Ain't got no aristocrat a hangin' in my tree
So tell me little momma why you messin' with me
[Chorus:]
Looks like a lo-o-o-on-ng longshot baby
Lookin' like a lo-o-o-n-ngshot baby to me
I don't walk with the president I don't mess with the prime
Ain't got no big shots baby workin' for me overtime
I can see you're sophisticated a with your goody two shoes
So tell me are you're slummin' baby I got nothin' to lose
[Chorus]
An I ain't no sinner and I ain't no saint.
Ain't no hipocrit baby 'cept most every day
I ain't got no religion a-clouding up my brain
So tell me little mama, why you jumpin' my claim
[Chorus 2x]
