Once Again (2001)

Well, it’s hard on an easy rider
Hard on an easy ride
Well, it’s hard on the heels of whatever is up ahead
Hard on the wheels of a rider’s head

Yes, it’s hard
Easy rider, whoa, ride
You easy rider, whoa, ride

Have you seen that easy rider?
Ridin’ all the while
You can tell that easy rider
His arm is on his side

Yes, it’s hard
Easy rider, whoa, ride
You easy rider, whoa, ride

Rider, he won’t stay
He can make it your way
But you wish you were an easy rider too

Easy rider, whoa, ride
You easy rider, whoa, ride

[break]

Well, it’s hard
Easy rider, whoa, ride
You easy rider, whoa, ride

Did you see that easy rider?
Did you hear what the rider said?
Well, {he played amongst our spirits}
And they danced all around his head

Well, it’s hard
Easy rider, whoa, ride
You easy rider, whoa, ride
You easy rider, whoa, ride
Easy rider, whoa, ride
You easy rider

Sometimes I feel like an old bulldozer
Big and strong and mean
And anyone who wants to try to stand in my way
Be knocked down and swept away clean

’Cause there’s nobody around
Gonna even slow me down
I just knock ’em over, sweep away clean

Sometimes I feel like an old windmill
I feel patient, wise, and so slow
Gonna get the job done, I don’t harm anyone
And there’s nothin’, nothin’ I won’t know

I just go ’bout my business, keep my eyes open
And eventually there’s nothing I won’t know

Already heard about that same old story
Doesn’t help, still gets me down
’Cause it seems like that same old story
Is the only story goin’ around

[break]

Whoa

Already heard about that same old story
Doesn’t help, still gets me down
’Cause it seems like that same old story
Is the only story goin’ around

So most times I feel like a leaf in the wind
And there’s no place I haven’t seen
’Cause everybody can do what they want with me
When they feel like it, they blow me away

’Cause whatever comes down and whatever comes around
Just casually blows me away, blows me away

Would you like to know a secret?
Just between you and me
Don’t know what I’m doin’ here
Don’t know what I’m gonna be

And that’s another side to this life I’ve been livin’
And that’s another side to this life

Don’t know what I’m doin’
Half the time I don’t know where to go
Guess I’ll take a sailin’ ship
To the Gulf of Mexico

And that’s another side to this life I’ve been livin’
And that’s another side to this life

[break]

And that’s another side to this life I’ve been livin’
And that’s another side to this life

Maybe I’ll go to Nashville
Sunny Tennessee
This ten cent life I’m leadin’ in the city
Ain’t worth a damn to me

And that’s another side to this life I’ve been livin’
And that’s another side to this life

And that’s another side to this life I’ve been livin’
And that’s another side to this life

When you walk into that room, I have your number
And before too soon, I knew you’d heed the call
There’s a spell my body needs to put you under
And it’s a long way down, but you will learn to fall

It’s a dirty job, but someone’s gotta do it
Take you to the edge and set you free
It’s a dirty job, but someone’s gotta do it
And that somebody might as well be me

We could fly if we put two and two together
And I could show you what I mean with just one kiss
If you trust me just this once, why then forever?
You would never ever wonder what you might’ve missed

It’s a dirty job, but someone’s gotta do it
Take you to the edge and set you free
It’s a dirty job, but someone’s gotta do it
And that somebody might as well be me

For that dirty job, that dirty job
That dirty job, that dirty job
Dirty job!
Dirty job!

This is bigger than the both of us, don’t fight it
We forgot to feed those fires down below
And don’t you shake your head, I know you’re gonna like it
In the moment that we touch, that’s when you know

It’s a dirty job, but someone’s gotta do it
Take you to the edge and set you free
It’s a dirty job, but someone’s gotta do it
And that somebody might as well be me

For that dirty job, that dirty job
That dirty job, that dirty job
Dirty job!
Dirty job!
Dirty job!
Dirty job!
Do-do do-do

Little girl, don’t you be brought down
Cheer up, I’ll turn your frown sunny side up
Come fill your cup
With all it can hold
And it’s shiny and gold

Like the rising sun over the sea
Shining and soft like my song

Little girl, don’t you hang around
Stand up, we’ll go to town, go for a ride
I’ll be your guide
Do what we can
Baby, I’ll be your man

Like the rising sun over the sea
Shining and soft like my song

Come away, take my hand
Leave your castles in the sand
We cannot save them from the sea
Come with me

Little girl, don’t you be brought down
Cheer up, I’ll turn your frown sunny side up
Come fill your cup
With all it can hold
And it’s shiny and gold

Like the rising sun over the sea
Shining and soft like my song

Like the rising sun over the sea
Shining and soft like my song

One trick pony, one trick is all that horse can do
One trick only, it’s the principal source of his revenue

But when he steps into the spotlight, you can feel the heat of his heart come shining through

See how he dances
See how he moves from side to side
See how he prances
See how his hooves just seem to glide

He’s just a one trick pony, that’s all he is
But he turns that trick with pride

Moves so easy, moves so clean
Looks like God’s immaculate machine
He makes me think about all the extra moves I make, oh
This herky jerky motion and the bag of tricks it takes
To get me through my working day
One trick pony

[break]

He’s just a one trick pony, that’s all he is

Moves so easy, moves so clean
Looks like God’s immaculate machine
He makes me think about all the extra moves I make, oh
This herky jerky motion and the bag of tricks it takes
To get me through my working day
One trick pony

One trick pony, one trick is all that pony needs
He gives his testimony, then he relaxes in the weeds
He’s just a one trick pony, that’s all he is
But that’s all that pony needs

Some say there’s really no reason
Some say the pie, it’s in the sky
Some say [???] the season
I say the truth lives in disguise
’Cause it’s always [???]
It’s always seen
It’s always there

If life is what you make it
Then there is no mistakin’
I don’t know what I’d be doin’
If I didn’t have you
I don’t know what I’d be doin’
If I didn’t have you

Some say the music can do it
Some say it’s all that you need
Some say who you know gets you through it
I say nothing’s guaranteed
You just make your stand
Take your time
Take your chances

If life is what you make it
Then there is no mistakin’
I don’t know what I’d be doin’
If I didn’t have you
I don’t know what I’d be doin’
If I didn’t, if I didn’t have you

You just make your stand
Take your time
Take your chances

If life is what you make it
Then there is no mistakin’
I don’t know what I’d be doin’
If I didn’t have you
I don’t know what I’d be doin’
If I didn’t have you
I don’t know what I’d be doin’ (I don’t know what I’d be doin’)
If I didn’t have you
I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know what I’d be doin’
If I didn’t, if I didn’t have you

Some say, some say
Some say, some say
Some say

Easy rockin’
I know a place to go that’s
Easy rockin’
We’ll take it nice and slow
And still will make it
To where it’s oh so sweet, you
Will not believe it
So good and so complete, it’s

Easy rockin’
I know just what to do and
Easy rockin’
It’s easier with two
Together
This is the only dance with
Movin’ together
Inside a rhythmic trance, it’s

Oh so easy, oh yes, it’s so easy
Rockin’

Easy rockin’
That’s what will get us there, just
Easy rockin’
And it will take us where
The waves are breaking
Upon an endless shore, it’s
Over and over
There’s always room for one more

Oh so easy, oh yes, it’s so easy
Rockin’

[break]

Easy rockin’
Let’s take it from the top, it’s
Easy rockin’
And we will never stop this
Locomotion
If we just take our time and
What is the hurry?
I’ll get yours, you get mine, it’s

Oh so easy, oh yes, it’s so easy
Oh so easy, oh yes, it’s so easy
Rockin’
Easy rockin’
Easy rockin’
Easy rockin’
Easy rockin’
Easy rockin’
Easy rockin’

I packed her clothes up in a box
I changed the phone and I changed the locks
I’ll be sittin’ here when she knocks
And I’ll say, “Hi, hi, hi, hi babe
Well, you do look good to me, yeah
Hi, hi, hi, hi babe
Who did you wish to see?”

I waited such a long time for you
You must have known what I was goin’ through
Finally knew what I had to do
Singing, “Hi, hi, hi, hi babe
Well, you do look good to me
Hi, hi, hi, hi babe
Who did you wish to see?”

I changed my mind
Ninety times an hour
As to hate you, love you, what
I guess there’s nothing that I can do
And that’s the most unkindest part

So say you wanted to be free
I guess this was how it had to be
I’ll just welcome you as you would me
Singing, “Hi, hi, hi, hi babe
Well, you do look good to me, yeah
Hi, hi, hi, hi babe
Who did you wish to see?”

And in our stolen season
Your feet won’t touch the ground
It’s a ferris whel that’s spinning hearts and minds around

And the heights will make you dizzy
Take your breath away
In our secret stolen season, there is just today

But when you’re lost in love and time will not stand still
Each hour seems a second, each shadow touch a thrill
And each kiss will leave us breathless as our two hearts beat as one
In our secret stolen season in the shadows of the, shadows of the sun

And in our stolen season
Our world within a world
It’s a simple act of love between a boy and girl

No yesterdays can find us, and tomorrows don’t exist
In our secret stolen season
In a neverending, everlasting kiss

La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la, la la la la
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la, la la la la

But all too soon it’s over
And the world spins back in place
From our secret stolen season
From our state of grace

La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la, la la la la
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
La la la la

Into every day and night, some magic weaves its spell
It’s a secret stolen season, and we cannot tell
If there’s a way of knowing what is lost or what is gained
In our secret stolen season where our hearts remain

La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la, la la la la
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
La la la la

La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la, la la la la
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
La la la la

Whoa, I could hide ’neath the wings
Of a bluebird as she sings
The six o’clock alarm would never ring
But it rings, and I rise
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes
My shaving razor’s cold and it stings

Cheer up, Sleepy Jean
Oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen?

You once thought of me
As a white knight on his steed
But now you know how happy I can be
And our good times start and end
Without dollar one to spend
But how much, baby, do we really need?

Cheer up, Sleepy Jean
Oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen?

Cheer up, Sleepy Jean
Oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen?

[break]

Cheer up, Sleepy Jean
Oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen?

Cheer up, Sleepy Jean
Whoa, what can it mean
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen?
