Kick Off Your Muddy Boots, 1975

---

I am the clown in the show
She is star star don't you know
She is the knife in my life
She's heaven she's the rider, You know that she's heaven
You know that she's heaven
She's the rider

A natural born jester like me
Hopes to make someone someone like you
Plays all his cards right up front
She's heaven she's the rider

        Repeat

Bareback she's the rider, She rides for you not me
We don't know what's inside her, It's just for her to see
I'm the undercover lover
But she'll never know
Bareback she's the rider
Rider of the show

I'm thone that is small, She has the look look like them all
Hides behind make up anad laughs, She's heaven she's the rider
You know that she's heaven
She's the rider

So on and on I go
Feeling the love, love in me grow
Seeing the sun I am the one
She's heaven she's the rider

She was the fox on the run
I was the hunt the hunt she won
I was the fool on the hill to heaven she's the rider
You know that she's heaven
She's the rider
Heaven she's the rider

In dreams you know I'm learning
All the time I keep turning
Trying to be the one
Trying to be the one
Trying to be the one

But you know I wish I could show you
Just what is inside my head
That makes me feel that makes me feel
The way I do the way I do

In dreams sometimes I'm ching
Hoping for someone to wake me
Running for my life
Running for my life
All night

But you know how hard it can be
Living like a dreamer like me
Sometimes afraid oh! So afraid
In my dreams

I'm just in space like the rest of my race
Changin' cells frome day I was born
But I'm still the same though  the meat has changed
Something's holding me together that's for sure

I find myself suspended in a vacuum
A vacuum that goes either way
But there must be something else to it
'Cause the sun comes to me every day

When I see the truth I see it with my own imagery
It's my brain lying, trying to make me see,
That the truths is so big that it runs eternity
And small enough to fit inside me

Far away past a star into the void inside of me
Or smaller past the atoms that have nothing inside
Just the same as a car or a leaf or a star
Cannot move without command
Something moves me and without it I'd be no more living
Than a hole in the sand

Hold my hand feel it's warm touch from the fire inside
Hold my heart feel it's beating how I can't decide
I don't control my sleeping or when I dream away
But there must be something to it
For I wake up everyday

Have you ever wondered what you would do
If the world was sweet and kindly exactly like you
Would you be afraid
Of what you got
Would you try to own a tree
Well you cannot

Tell me the fruit is yours grown off a tree
Tell me you grew and don't you see
You didn't grow it you're not the sun or the rain
And if you went away it would grow again

Sometimes I wonder
What it is I see
Is it the world around us
Baby or is it me
I lie awake wondering what went wrong
The world was ours for a song

My life's not wasted I'm trying to give all that I've got
My life's not wasted I'm trying to love you, I need you
To need what I want

Try not to hurt me with problems 'cause problems
Ain't what I want
They'll just distract me from trying to love you I
need you to need what I want

I've got to try before I die to make these dreams come true
All those years and all those tears
I have come on thru
I have come on thru

        Repeat 1st verse

Instrumental

Gew Janna heavy woman makes me feel so cold
Gew Janna's sister Anna somethin' she sold
Those memories always flowing flying so real
Orbit me high Gew Janna until until until I
Until I die

Gew Janna why did you leave me
Do do me magic lover do do me well
Laid back with sweat and waiting release my hell
Hell ain't the kind of feeling I want to feel

Orbit me high Gew Janna until until until I
Until I die
Gew Janna why did you leave me

And then I saw a vision of the world before me
Like a dream I dreamed a million times
And the thrill when I was there
Believe me I was high so high

        Repeat 1st verse

Far off in a distant land
A man lying dead in the sand
Lying by his side was a song
Written down on a parchment fair
Overgrown with ageing hair
You could see this man died alone

From riding shotgun on the 4.42

        Repeat

Riding shotgun was his dream
But he's fallen dead it seems
Riding shotgun on the 4.42

When the sun it got too hot
I was glad of what I'd got
Living on the food that I found
Twenty minutes left to go
Another town's in sight you know
Think I'll rest my boots while I can

Riding shotgun on the 4.42

Here comes Lucy Springer
You know that she's a ringer
She'll take you for a ride for awhile
You know that she looks fancy
Much more slick than Nancy
You know you'll have to pay for a smile

Riding shotgun on the 4.42

I know that I ain't been mean
And I always kept my sixguns clean
And I feel I'm at the end of my road
I'll make way for someone new
Do you think it could be you
As I lie face down dead in the road

Riding shotgun on the 4.42

There's something we'd like to say
About the way that we feel today
You know we'd just like to float away
In the end it must be that way
You know that nothing is real or true
Unless it happened to me or you
And you just have to come on thru
You know there's nothing else you can do

Last night I nearly died
I nearly cried
My heart inside me aches me
Takes me
Breaks me
Fakes me so
No sign of love no hope of anything

We like to
We like to do it
We like to do it all the time

Repeat

And when we've done it
You know my honey
You know that you will feel so fine

        Repeat

No one seems to understand us
The way we always carry on
Lying on our backs
Painting the cracks
Basking in the mid-day sun

We like to
We like to do it
We like to do it all the time

        Repeat

And when we've done it
You know my honey
You know that you will feel so fine

        Repeat

We like to have fun
We like to have sun
The way it always was before
So now we'll take our chance
And go live on the land
And there we'll have so much fun

I'll feel so free, just you and me
Living on the land of the Lord
And the way things they are
Will be better by far
Living the way we did before

We like to
We like to do it
We like to do it all the time

        Repeat

And when we've done it
You know my honey...
