All I ever needed was the open road,
And a rock to lay my head upon
Half a tin of beans,
And a pair of jeans
Work a day or two and then be gone.
My life was easy (I) never needed much
Then came a lady, who sold me dreams and such
Chorus:
And there's a song I remember
When the evening turns to wine
It happens this way most every day
And brings a tear to mind
There's a song I remember
And a lady oh so fine
I can't let go-the lady's on my mind
Such a lot of water going under the bridge
While the sandman plays that song again
How I am related to a broken heart?
Can you tell me where the lady went?
Make California, waste another day
Sad times are on you when your love's away
Chorus:
And there's a song I remember
When the evening turns to wine
It happens this way most every day
And brings a tear to mind
There's a song I remember
And a lady oh so fine
I can't let go-the lady's on my mind
Meanwhile the tears have got me hanging on the ropes again
And I believe my friend that better days are coming
Deep down inside I feel a party to a hazy dream
Her love was everything
She's gone but still I'm running.
Chorus:
And there's a song I remember
When the evening turns to wine
It happens this way most every day
And brings a tear to mind
There's a song I remember
And a lady oh so fine
I can't let go-the lady's on my mind.
