Never a Dull Moment
Album - 1972 - Debaser id 42857

Never been a millionaire
and I tell you mama I don't care
Never gonna own a race-horse
or a fast back mid-engine Porsche
Don't think I'll own a private jet
on the Stock Exchange I'm no threat
So won't you help me make up my mind
Don't you think I'd better get myself back home

Sitting in the moonlight glow
excuse me if my feelings show
Watching all the trucks roll by
dreaming up an alibi
You see, back home I'm considered the fool
but maybe they're right I don't know
So can't you help make up my mind
Don't you think I'd better get myself back home
Who cares

Daddy says he'll buy me car
to drive just as far as I need
He wants me back at any expense
He's got a lot more money than sense
Funny but now that I'm gone
they all wanna be concerned
Oh please can you make up my mind
Don't you think I'd better get myself back home
Just don't know what to do
Maybe I'll walk, maybe I'll ride, maybe I'll never ever decide

Get out da way
I gotta get on home
I gotta get home as soon as I can

(Bob Dylan)

Perhaps it抯 the color of the sun cut flat
and coverin' the crossroads I抦 standing at
or maybe it抯 the weather or something like that
but mama you been on my mind

I do not mean you trouble, don抰 put me down, don抰 get upset
I am not pleadin?or sayin?I can抰 forget you
I do not pace the floor, bowed down and bent, but yet
mama you been on my mind

Even tho?my eyes are hazy
and my thoughts they might be narrow
where you been don抰 bother me, or bring me down with sorrow
I don抰 even mind where you be wakin?up tomorrow
but mama you been on my mind

I抦 not asking you to say words like yes or no
Please understand me, I抳e no place I抦 calling you to go
I抦 just whisperin?to myself so I can pretend that I don抰 know
Mama you been on my mind

When you wake up in the mornin?baby, look inside your mirror
you know I won抰 be next to you, you know I won抰 be near
I抎 just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
as someone who has had you on his mind
As someone who has had you on his mind
Mama you been on my mind

Angel came down from heaven yesterday
stayed with me long enough to rescue me
And she told me a story yesterday
about the sweet love between the moon and the deep blue sea
Then she spread her wings high over me
she said she's goin' now, come back tomorrow
And I said, "Fly on my sweet angel, fly on through the sky
Fly on my sweet angel tomorrow I'm gonna be by your side"

Fly away, high away, fly away

Sure enough this morning came unto me
silver wings silhouetted against a child�s sunrise
And my angel she said unto me
Today�s the day for you to rise
Take my hand, you're gonna be my man, you're gonna rise
Then she took me high over yonder

And I said, "Fly on my sweet angel, fly on through the sky
Fly on my sweet angel forever I will be by your side"
And I said, "Fly on my sweet angel, fly on through the sky
Fly on my sweet angel forever I will be by your side"
Fly away, come back another day

(A. Wood)

[Instrumental]

I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon
But to settle down and write you a line
I've been meaning to phone you, but from Minnesota
Hell, it's been a very long time

You wear it well
A little old-fashioned, but that's alright

Well, I suppose you're thinking, I bet he's sinking
Or he wouldn't get in touch with me
Though I ain't begging or losing my head
I sure do want you to know, that

You wear it well
there ain't a lady in the land so fine, oh my

Remember their basement parties, your brothers' karate
The all-day rock-and-roll shows
The homesick blues and the radical views
Haven't left a mark on you

(Chorus)
You wear it well
A little out of time but I don't mind
But, I ain't forgetting that you were once mine
But I blew it without even trying
Now I'm eating my heart out
Trying to get a letter through

Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on

I'm gonna write about the birthday gown that I bought in town
And you sat down and cried on the stairs
You knew it didn't cost the earth but for what it's worth
You made me feel a millionaire

You wear it well
Madame Onassis got nothing on you; no, no

Well now my coffee is cold and I'm getting told
That I gotta get back to work
So when the sun goes low and you're home all alone
Think of me and try not to laugh, and

(Chorus 2)
I'll wear it well
I don't object if you call collect
'Cause I ain't forgetting that you were once mine
But I blew it without even trying
Now I'm eating my heart out
Trying to get back to you

Something told me it was over
when I saw you and him talking
Something deep down in my soul said "Cry boy"
when I saw you and him out walking
I would rather, I would rather go blind girl
than to see you walk away from me child
So you see I love you so much
I don't want to see you leave me baby
most of all I just don't, I just don't want to be free

I was just, I was just sitting here thinking
of your kiss and your warm embrace child
When the reflection in the glass
that I been held to my lips now baby
revealed the tears I had on my face
I would rather, I would rather be blind child
than to see you walk away from me
Baby, baby, baby I would rather go blind
than to see you walk away from me
