[Verse 1]
Slipping away, what can I say?
Won't you stay inside me, month of May?
And hold on to me, golden days, slipping away
[Bridge]
Sunshine on my wall
To keep my mind on the things I'm saying
Footsteps in the hall
To tell me I've been this way before
Nevermore
[Verse 2]
Let it rain, sweet Mary Jane
Let it wash your love down all around me
Come inside and put it down, let it rain
[Verse 3]
I've been trying hard to find
A way to let you know
That we can make it shine most all the time
This time 'round, I'm searching down
To where I used to go
And it's been on my mind to make it shine
[Chorus]
You can say I wanna be free
I can say someday I will be
[Chorus]
You can say I wanna be free
I can say someday I will be
[Verse 4]
When I catch a common cold
Wanna hear a saxophone
When I let the good times roll, baby
Slide me a bass trombone
Walk me down old Funky Street
Lord knows, I feel good enough to eat, now
Hold my soul, now, I'm sure 'nough fond
Of my rock 'n roll
[Verse 5]
When I go to sleep at night
Wanna hear a slide guitar
When I'm feeling loose and right, go
Riding in my automobile
Boney Maroney and Peggy Sue
Got the rocking pneumonia
Got the boogie-woogie flu, baby
Hold my soul, said I'm sure 'nough fond
Of my rock 'n roll
[Outro]
Good God
Looky here, looky here!
Woo! Ooh-ooh-ooh
Go home now, Joe
Ooh, yeah
Oh, you're cookin'!
