Turpentine
and
dandelion wine,
I've turned the corner
and I'm doing fine
Shootin' at the birds
on the telephone line,
Pickin' em off with
this gun of mine
Got a fire in my belly,
and a fire in my head,
Goin' higher and
higher 'til I'm dead

Sister Sue is short and
stout, she didn't grow up
she grew out
Mama says she's plain
but she's just being kind
Papa thinks she's pretty
but he's almost blind
Don't let her out much
except at night
But I don't care
cause I'm all right

Oh the sun shines bright
on my old Kentucky home
Young folks roll on the floor
Oh the sun shines bright
on my old Kentucky home
Keep them hard times
away from my door

Brother Gene is big and
mean and he don't have
much to say
He had a little woman
who he whupped each day
But now she's gone away

Got drunk last night, kicked
Mama down the stairs
But I'm all right,
so I don't care

Oh the sun shines bright
on my old Kentucky home
And the young folks are
rollin' on the floor
Oh the sun shines bright
on my old Kentucky home
Keep them hard times
away from my door

Turpentine
and
dandelion wine,
I've turned the corner
and I'm doing fine
Shootin' at the birds
on the telephone line,
Pickin' em off with this
gun of mine
Got a fire in my belly,
and a fire in my head,
Goin' higher and
higher 'til I'm dead

Oh the sun shines bright
on my old Kentucky home
And the young folks are
rollin' on the floor
Oh the sun shines bright
on my old Kentucky home
Keep them hard times
away from my door
Keep them hard times
away from my door

Song
I Will Follow You
Into The Dark
▼　Click Here for Lyrics

Love of mine someday you will die
But I’ll be close behind and I’ll follow you into the dark
No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight waiting for the hint of a spark

But if heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied
And illuminate the no’s on their ‘Vacancy’ signs
If there’s no one beside you when your soul embarks
Then I’ll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me, “Son,
Fear is the heart of love,” so I never went back

But if heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied
And illuminate the no’s on their ‘Vacancy’ signs
If there’s no one beside you when your soul embarks
Then I’ll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary and the soles of your shoes
Are all worn down: the time for sleep is now
But it’s nothing to cry about
‘Cause we’ll hold each other soon in the blackest of rooms

But if heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied
And illuminate the no’s on their ‘Vacancy’ signs
If there’s no one beside you when your soul embarks
Then I’ll follow you into the dark
Then I’ll follow you into the dark
