Free at last
Ahhhh
Free at last
To adore the sunrise
Free at last
To adore the moonlight
Free at last
To leave those things behind
I'm thinkin'
In a new state of mind
Why are you assuming that I'm so upset?
On my face there's no disappointment
The gun's gone off and I'm ready to run
Out from the clouds here comes the sun
Well I looked at you and there, I was in love
Well you looked at me but it wasn't enough
Well you told me once and I didn't get it
Then you told me twice and now you can bet that
You can assume I'm a little upset
My face can't hide some disappointment
The gun's gone off but where do I go?
Get your tickets to the last place show
But a new state of mind is the place to be
'Cause in the moonlight you can cry and no one can see
Ah, the sun gives you hope for a brand new day
I think all of my cares are slipping away
'Cause I'm
Free at last

Greenback Dollar

I don't want your greenback dollar
I don't want your watch and chain
All I want is your heart darlin'
Won't you take me back again
I was born in north Saskatchewan
Manitoba I did roam
There I met a pretty young maiden
Her age and name I did not know
Once you were my fond affection
And you meant the world to me
Then you left me for another
In my grave I'd rather be
I'd rather be in some dark hollow
Where the sun don't ever shine
Than to see you with another
And know you never can be mine

Well I wish to the Lord I'd never been born
Or died when I was young
Then I never would have seen your sparkling blue eyes
Or heard your lying tongue
All the good times are past and gone
All the good times are o'er
All the good times are past and gone
Little darling don't you weep no more
Well don't you see that turtle dove
Flying from pine to pine
He's mourning for his own true love
Just like I mourn for mine
Well don't you see that passenger train
Coming around the bend
It's taking away my own true love
To never return again
Come back, come back my own true love
And stay a while with me
For if ever I’ve had a friend in this world
You’ve been that friend to me

I don't wanna live anymore
I don't wanna live anymore
What the hell am I still doing this for?
I don't wanna live anymore
I'm gonna hold my breath
'Til the sweet release of death
Takes me to heaven's door
I don't wanna live anymore
I'm gonna fill my kitchen sink
To the brink with liquid zinc
And I think I'll take a drink
I don't wanna live anymore
I've seen all there is to see
Nothing shocks or offends me
School shootings, terrorists, and war
I don't wanna live anymore
And the one girl I adore
Lives on some foreign sea shore
And I'm too frickin' poor
I don't wanna live anymore
