00:00She's a 20th century woman, made of 16th century lace
00:17Dressed in petticoats and ruffles, from a different time and place
00:23She's the music in my music, the love song in my life
00:29And a very fine lady, she's my wife
00:34She loves collie dogs and county fairs, and kids who call her mom
00:41Cryin' at the movies, flyin' next to me at dawn
00:46She's the music in my music, she's the love song in my life
00:52And a very fine lady, she's my wife
00:58La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
01:03La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
01:14She's a song that just gets better, every time you hear it played
01:21The keeper of my castle, my strength when I'm afraid
01:26She's the music in my music, the love song in my life
01:32And a very fine lady, she's my wife
01:38La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
01:43La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
01:48La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
01:53She's the rhyme in my poetry, the rhythm in my tune
02:00She's a summer kind of feeling on a winter afternoon
02:05She's the music in my music, she's the love song in my life
02:12And a very fine lady, a very fine lady
02:22A very fine lady, she's my wife
02:29La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
02:34La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
02:40La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
02:46La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
03:00For some I'm a sinner, to others a saint
03:04The truth is I'm tarnished and in need of some paint
03:09I'm part of your union but I'm tired of paying them dues
03:19The world's a tuxedo and I'm just a pair of brown shoes
03:29I smoke more than heavy, I drink to escape
03:33At night when I'm sleeping I dream I'm awake
03:38I've got no one to talk to, just them faces on the six o'clock news
03:48The world's a tuxedo and I'm just a pair of brown shoes
03:58I'd like to talk about the way we parted
04:00Can't you see I'm brokenhearted and I want you back again
04:05Our tempers took us for a ride
04:07Too little love and too much pride
04:10Made us blow it and throw it away
04:15I was a swimmer when I was a pup
04:19I had some good habits but they all gave me up
04:24I'll sell you my soul if you promise it won't be refused
04:34The world's a tuxedo and I'm just a pair of brown shoes
04:44I'd like to talk about your tendency to talk about me when I'm not around
04:48You found me in the ground
04:51Now you're gone, I feel so bad
04:53I never really knew the love we had
04:56Until I blew it and threw it away
05:01I'm not conditioned to living alone
05:05I hear the doorbell, I pick up the phone
05:10If one existed, I'd be listed in the loser's who's who
05:19The world's a tuxedo and I'm just a pair of brown shoes
05:25The world's a tuxedo and I'm just a pair of brown shoes
05:56She loves flowering trees and cats when they sneeze
06:02Old magazine photographs
06:06I love ball teams and trout fishing streams
06:10And making my sweet baby laugh
06:14She loves to grow things, harvest and sow things
06:19Bringing new life from the ground
06:23What we love best above all the rest
06:27Is just having each other around
06:34I love good wines and car bumper signs
06:38And women who don't always talk
06:42She loves new clothes and rock and roll shows
06:46And sometimes she trips out on Bach
06:51I love to mend things, rebuild and bend things
06:55She calls me a carpenter clown
06:59What we love best above all the rest
07:03Is just having each other around
07:07If that's not love, then kids don't like ice cream
07:12God's just a three-letter word
07:16People hate money, Tucson's not sunny
07:20Nobody likes to be kissed
07:24Because people in love don't exist
07:31She loves to bake bread, eat cookies in bed
07:35Then pretend great surprise at the crumbs
07:39I love old cars and modern guitars
07:43And messing around on the drums
07:47She loves egg custard, hot dogs and mustard
07:51She keeps her feet square on the ground
07:56What we love best above all the rest
08:00Is just having each other around
08:04If that's not love, then kids don't like ice cream
08:09God's just a three-letter word
08:13People hate money, Tucson's not sunny
08:17Nobody likes to be kissed
08:21Because people in love don't exist
08:27She loves flowering trees, cats when they sneeze
08:32Old magazine photographs
08:36I love ball teams and trout fishing streams
08:44In your yearbook, they all said that you'd go far
08:52Now look at you, you've made it, you're a star
08:59You're a star
09:03You're a star
09:07You're a star
09:11After nearly twenty years of work and sacrifice
09:20The view from the top looks pretty nice
09:26With your fancy friends and your new-earned fame and wealth
09:34Everybody knows you but yourself
09:41So when you see it clear, it shouldn't come as news
09:49Congratulations
09:53Congratulations
09:57Congratulations, you lose
10:04I see you still take whiskey with your pills
10:11Of all your real imaginary ills
10:19Would you say your new success was worth the price you pay
10:26Losing all your love along the way
10:32When you measure the gain and you look at what it costs
10:41Was the reward worth the double-cross
10:48When all you have to hold at night are last night's good reviews
10:56Congratulations, you lose
11:02Too old to change and still so quick to bruise
11:11Congratulations, you lose
11:16So the world took your dancing and martied up your shoes
11:25Congratulations
11:28Congratulations
11:32Congratulations, you lose
11:39You lose
11:57I've been wasting my time
12:03I've never seen a flower growing on a railroad tie
12:13There's got to be a better life ahead
12:18Can't wait till I'm six feet underground lying dead
12:23I think I'll just take myself, put me on you
12:32I think I'll just take myself, put me on you
12:41I, I bring myself down
12:50I, I spend my whole life in one town
12:56Like a lion in the cage I'm bound
13:01I just don't know what am I going to do
13:06I think I'll just take myself, put me on you
13:14I think I'll just take myself, put me on you
13:26People dream, people talk but they don't try
13:34I pack my bags, I'm leaving this town this time
13:47Hello sunrise, where you taking me today?
13:56Well I know where I'm heading and I won't look back on yesterday
14:06There's a mountain down a dusty road
14:10An ocean island in the story I'm told
14:15I think I'll just take myself, put me on you
14:21I think I'll just take myself, put me on you
14:30I think I'll just take myself, put me on you
14:51Loving naturally, loving naturally
15:00She likes to see a fresh flower on her kitchen table every morning
15:08With the windows open wide to let the world inside her sunny home
15:16And every day begins with a gentle smile from really caring
15:26She really loves to live life and I'm so thankful I can be her man
15:34Eucalyptus, sassafras tea, morning kisses when she wakes me
15:44Growing young alone together, loving naturally
15:53Loving naturally
16:04Sitting on the front porch, she loves to listen to the sounds of the evening
16:13We go walking sometimes to a rocky mountain to the source of a stream
16:22I found a tree that goes on giving, taking only sunshine like my woman
16:31Her love affair with life has opened up a world of hope for me
16:42Eucalyptus, sassafras tea, morning kisses when she wakes me
16:51Growing young alone together, loving naturally
17:00Eucalyptus, sassafras tea, morning kisses when she wakes me
17:09Growing young alone together, loving naturally
17:18Loving naturally
17:22Loving naturally
17:30Caught in town tonight, I wasn't feeling right
17:41I stopped in a lonely bar for a drink or two
17:47The lights were turned down low, the whiskey started to flow
17:54Then I saw a girl looking lonely too
17:58She was a wild, a barroom woman
18:05Looked just like a girl I used to know
18:11A woman I left in Tennessee with my daughter, Mary Lee
18:17And on a night like this, I miss them so
18:22I drank the whiskey down, it moved my mind around
18:29The jukebox played a song from way back home
18:35She came over from her stool, sat down next to this old fool
18:41She said, babe, there ain't no cause to drink alone
18:46She was a wild, a barroom woman
18:53Looked just like a girl I used to know
18:59A woman I left in Tennessee with my daughter, Mary Lee
19:05And on a night like this, I miss them so
19:09She put her hand on mine, oh Lord, it felt so fine
19:20I'd forgotten just how warm my hand could feel
19:26God knows I needed more than I'd felt that hand before
19:32Somehow it all began to seem unreal
19:37As she sat there by my side, a man inside me cried
19:44Through my tears I saw a memory
19:50When she said her name, I hung my head in shame
19:56She said, everybody calls me Mary Lee, yeah
20:01She was a wild, a barroom woman
20:07Looked just like a girl I used to know
20:13A woman I left in Tennessee with my daughter, Mary Lee
20:20And on a night like this, I miss them so
20:25She was a wild, a barroom woman
20:32Looked just like a girl I used to know
20:38A woman I left in Tennessee with my daughter, Mary Lee
20:49I must have been off my head, considering what I said
20:55She threatened to move south, I opened my big mouth
20:58And told her to wait till the first snow came
21:03Now she's been here about a year, hasn't even rained
21:12She wanted a place with charm, I bought her a little farm
21:19Now we're up to here in Clover, we'd love to have you over
21:23We've got a cat named Rover, but he won't bite
21:25We're raking hay most every day, but we're home most every night
21:56I must have been off my head, considering what I said
22:04She threatened to move south, I opened my big mouth
22:08And told her to wait till the first snow came
22:12Now she's been here about a year, hasn't even rained
22:25Now she's been here about a year, hasn't even rained
22:30Now she's been here about a year, hasn't even rained
22:52Don't fade the memories from my mind
22:57Of times gone by that shaped my life
23:06We need certain people at certain times
23:12Through our lives
23:20Take a lesson now from the sun
23:23It's a star and you know that there's more than one
23:27We need freedom, room to grow
23:34Take a lesson now from the stars
23:38Let's look at who and where we are
23:41Spaces in togetherness bring us near
23:45So if I leave you sometimes, understand why
23:53La-da-da-da-da-da
23:57La-da-da-da-da-da
24:01Ba-da-da-da-da-da
24:04Don't shade tomorrow from my eyes
24:10Let it shine
24:13Let it shine
24:18We need certain people at certain times
24:24Throughout our lives
24:32Take a lesson now from the sun
24:36It's a star and you know that there's more than one
24:40We need freedom, room to grow
24:44Take a lesson now from the stars
24:48Let's look at who and where we are
24:52Spaces in togetherness bring us near
24:56So if I leave you sometimes, don't ask why
25:02Don't ask why
25:06Don't ask why
25:13Don't ask why
25:31The world is mine and everything in it
25:35And I think I'll just give it to you
25:39If there's too much there to receive in one sitting
25:45Perhaps we can stretch it to two
25:49Or three
25:51Hundred thousand
25:54However many lifetimes it takes
25:58Cause the world is mine and everything in it
26:03And I think I'll just give it to you
26:08The joy I feel whenever you touch me
26:13Might take a while to believe
26:17So don't go away unless I go with you
26:23I wouldn't want my world to leave me
26:28Talking to myself again
26:32That would be a mistake
26:36Cause the world is mine and everything in it
26:41And I think I'll just give it to you
26:46We could live forever
26:51If we live here now
26:55Weave our lives together
26:59Let me show you how
27:06We'll find a farm, move to Montana
27:11Like you've always wanted to do
27:15Where there's room to run and to raise the children
27:21In case we have one or two
27:25Or three
27:27Hundred thousand
27:30However many lifetimes it takes
27:34Cause the world is mine and everything in it
27:39And I think I'll just give it to you
27:44The world is mine and everything in it
27:49And I think I'll just give it to you
27:57Considering how we got together
28:02How we get along
28:06Seems only natural
28:10We should make a song
28:14Last for the beginning
28:18Consider it begun
28:21Last for the beginning
28:24Consider it begun
28:28As for will I love you
28:33Consider it done
28:39I hear you when you're silent
28:43And I believe you when you cry
28:47I never wrote a poem
28:49But you make me want to try
28:53So many pretty words
28:57Running through my head
29:01When I'm with you
29:04I say things I've never said
29:08Considering how we got together
29:13How we get along
29:16Seems only natural
29:20We should make a song
29:24Last for the beginning
29:28Consider it begun
29:32As for will I love you
29:37Consider it done
29:41I always dream in color
29:46And when I wake, I wake up warm
29:50And exercise my sleepy eyes
29:54On your still sleeping form
29:58Filled with the wonder
30:01Of all I'm taking in
30:05I'm happier with you
30:07Than I believe I've ever been
30:12Considering how we got together
30:17How we get along
30:21Seems only natural
30:25We should make a song
30:29Last for the beginning
30:33Consider it begun
30:37As for will I love you
30:43Consider it done
30:48Last for the beginning
30:52Consider it begun
30:56As for will I love you
30:59Consider it done
