Does that make me crazy? Does that make me crazy? Probably And I hope that you are having the time of your life But think twice, that's my only advice Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are Ha ha ha bless your soul You really think you're in control Well, I think you're crazy I think you're crazy I think you're crazy Just like me My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb And all I remember is thinking, I want to be like them Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun And it's no coincidence I've come And I can die when I'm done Maybe I'm crazy Maybe you're crazy Maybe we're crazy Probably _________________ A Working Class Hero Is Something To Be ~ John Lennon

It's half past ten, another six pack in And I can feel the rumble like a cold black wind He pulls in the drive, the gravel flies He don't know what's waiting here this time Chorus His fist is big but my gun's bigger He'll find out when I pull the trigger Chorus _________________ A Working Class Hero Is Something To Be ~ John Lennon

And you know your bite is poisonous and now I'm going to die" "Oh shut up, silly woman," said the reptile with a grin "Now you knew durn well I was a snake before you brought me in "Please take me in, oh tender woman Take me in, for heaven's sake Take me in tender woman," sighed the snake sighed the snake take me in tender woman signed the snake

Joined: 04 Feb 2006 Posts: 128	He was born a little baby on the Appalachian Trail At six months old he'd done three months in jail He robbed a bank in his diapers and little bare baby feet All he said was "Folks my name is Outlaw Pete" I'm Outlaw Pete, I'm Outlaw Pete, can you hear me? At 25 a Mustang pony he did steal And he rode her 'round and 'round on heaven's wheel Father Jesus I'm an outlaw, killer, and a thief And I slow down only to sow my grief I'm Outlaw Pete, I'm Outlaw Pete, can you hear me? He cut his trail of tears across the countryside And where he went women wept and men died One night he awoke from a vision of his own death Saddled his pony and rode out deep into the West Married a Navajo girl and settled down on the res And as the snow fell he held their beautiful daughter to his chest I'm Outlaw Pete, I'm Outlaw Pete, can you hear me? Out of the East on an Irish stallion came bounty hunter Dan His heart quickened and burdened by the need to get his man He found Pete peacefully fishing by the river Pulled his gun and got the drop He said "Pete you think you've changed but you have not" He cocked his pistol pulled the trigger and shouted, "let it start" Pete drew his a knife from his boot, threw it, And pierced Dan through the heart Dan smiled as he lay in his own blood dying in the sun Whispered in Pete's ear "we cannot undo these things we've done" You're Outlaw Pete, You're Outlaw Pete, can you hear me? For forty days and nights Pete rode and did not stop Till he sat high upon on icy mountaintop He watched a hawk on a desert updraft, slip and slide Moved to the edge and dug his spurs deep into his ponys' side Some say Pete and his pony vanished over the edge And some say they remain frozen high up on that icy ledge A young Navajo girl washes in the river, her skin so fair And braids a piece of Pete's buckskin chaps into her hair Outlaw Pete, Outlaw Pete, can you hear me? _________________ A Working Class Hero Is Something To Be ~ John Lennon
