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.
