#94 Woodstock (Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Well, I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, “Tell me, where are you going?”
And this he told me🪄
Said, “I’m going down to Yasgur’s Farm
Gonna join in a rock ‘n’ roll band
Got to get back to the land
Set my soul free”🪄
We are stardust, we are golden
We are billion-year-old carbon
And we’ve got to get ourselves
Back to the garden🪄
Well, then can I walk beside you?
I have come to lose the smog
And I feel myself a cog
In somethin’ turning🪄
And maybe it’s the time of year
Yes, and maybe it’s the time of man
And I don’t know who I am
But life is for learning🪄
We are stardust, we are golden
We are billion-year-old carbon
And we got to get ourselves
Back to the garden🪄
We are stardust, we are golden
We are billion-year-old carbon
And we got to get ourselves
Back to the garden🪄
By the time we got to Woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere was a song
And a celebration🪄
And I dreamed I saw the bomber jet planes
Riding shotgun in the sky
Turning into butterflies
Above our nation🪄
We are stardust, we are golden
We are caught in the devil’s bargain
And we’ve got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

#89 Travelin’ Band (Creedence Clearwater Revival) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
737 comin’ out of the sky
Won’t you take me down to Memphis on a midnight ride
I wanna move
Playin’ in a travelin’ band
Yeah
Well, I’m flyin’ ‘cross the land tryin’ to get a hand
Playin’ in a travelin’ band🪄
Take me to the hotel, baggage gone, oh well
Come on, come on, won’t you get me to my room
I wanna move
Playin’ in a travelin’ band
Yeah
Well, I’m flyin’ ‘cross the land, tryin’ to get a hand
Playin’ in a travelin’ band🪄
Listen to the radio talkin’ ’bout the last show
Someone got excited, had to call the state militia
Wanna move
Playin’ in a travelin’ band
Yeah
Well, I’m flyin’ ‘cross the land, tryin’ to get a hand
Playin’ in a travelin’ band
Oh wow🪄
Here we come again on a saturday night
With your fussin’ and your fightin’, won’t you get me to the ride?
I wanna move
Playin’ in a travelin’ band
Yeah
Well, I’m flyin’ ‘cross the land, tryin’ to get a hand
Playin’ in a travelin’ band
Oh wow🪄
Oh, I’m playin’ in a travelin’ band
Playin’ in a travelin’ band
Won’t you come and take my hand?
Well, I’m playin’ in a travelin’ band
I’m flyin’ ‘cross the land, tryin’ to get a hand
Playin’ in a travelin’ band
Oh wow
Hey

#78 Mississippi Queen (Mountain) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Mississippi queen
If you know what I mean
Mississippi queen
She taught me everything🪄
Went down around Vicksburg
Around Louisiana way
Lived the Cajun lady
Aboard the Mississippi Queen🪄
You know she was a dancer
She moved better on wine🪄
While the rest of them dudes were gettin’ their kicks
Boy, I beg your pardon, I was gettin’ mine🪄
Mississippi queen
If you know what I mean
Mississippi queen
She taught me everything🪄
This lady she asked me
If I would be her man
You know that I told her
I’d do what I can🪄
To keep her lookin’ pretty
Buy her dresses that shine🪄
While the rest of them dudes were makin’ their friends
Boy, I beg your pardon, I was loosin’ mine🪄
You know she was a dancer
She moved better on wine🪄
While the rest of them dudes were gettin’ their kicks
Boy, I beg your pardon, I was gettin’ mine🪄
Yeah, Mississippi queen

#76 It’s A Shame (The Spinners) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Ooh doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo🪄
It’s a shame
The way you mess around with your man
It’s a shame the way you hurt me
It’s a shame
The way you mess around with your man
I’m sitting all alone by the telephone
Waiting for your call, when you don’t call at all🪄
It’s a shame (Shame)
The way you mess around with your man
It’s a shame (Shame)
The way you play with my emotions
It’s a shame (Shame)
The way you mess around with your man
You’re like a child at play on a sunny day
‘Cause you play with love, and then you throw it away🪄
Why do you use me, try to confuse me
How can you stand to be so cruel?
Why don’t you free me from this prison?
Where I serve my time as your fool🪄
It’s a shame (Shame)
The way you mess around with your man
It’s a shame (Shame) the way you hurt me
It’s a shame (Shame)
The way you mess around with your man
I try to stay with you, show you love so true
But you won’t appreciate the love we try to make
Oh, it’s got to be a shame, uh🪄
Why do you use me, try to confuse me
How can you stand to be so cruel?
Why don’t you free me from this prison?
Serve my time as your fool🪄
Got to be a shame (Shame)
The way you mess around with your man
Ohhh, it’s a shame (Shame) the way you hurt me
Oh, It’s a shame, baby, baby (Shame)
The way you mess around with your man
You’ve got my heart in chains, and I must complain
I just can’t be content, oh look at that
Shame (Ow)🪄
It’s a shame (Shame)
It’s a shame the way you hurt me, yeah
Oww (Shame)
Got to
Got to
Got to
Got to be a shame, oh yeah

#75 I Just Can’t Help Believing (B.J. Thomas) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
… I just can’t help believing
When she smiles up soft and gentle
With a trace of a misty morning
And a promise of tomorrow in her eyes🪄
… And I just can’t help believing
When she’s lying close beside me
And my heart beats with the rhythm of her sigh🪄
… This time the girl is gonna stay
This time the girl is gonna stay
For more than just a day🪄
… And I just can’t help believing
When she slips her hand in my hand
And it feels so small and helpless
That my fingers fold around it like a glove🪄
… And I just can’t help believing
When she’s whispering her magic
And her tears are shining honey sweet with love🪄
… This time the girl is gonna stay
(This time the girl is gonna stay)
This time the girl is gonna stay
For more than just a day
… For more than just a day🪄
I just can’t help believing
I just can’t help believing
I just can’t help believing

#73 Up Around The Bend (Creedence Clearwater Revival) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
There’s a place up ahead and I’m going
Just as fast as my feet can fly
Come away, come away, if you’re going
Leave the sinking ship behind🪄
Come on the rising wind
We’re going up around the bend
Ooh🪄
Bring a song and a smile for the banjo
Better get while the getting’s good
Hitch a ride to the end of the highway
Where the neons turn to wood🪄
Come on the rising wind
We’re going up around the bend
Ooh🪄
You can ponder perpetual motion
Fix your mind on a crystal day
Always time for a good conversation
There’s an ear for what you say🪄
Come on the rising wind
We’re going up around the bend
Yeah🪄
Ooh🪄
Catch a ride to the end of the highway
And we’ll meet by the big red tree
There’s a place up ahead and I’m going
Come along, come along with me🪄
Come on the rising wind
We’re going up around the bend
Yeah🪄
Do-do-doo-do
Do-do-doo-do
Do-doo-do
Do-do-doo-do
Yeah
Do-do-doo-do
Do-do-doo-do

#71 Didn’t I (Blow Your Mind This Time) (The Delfonics) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
I gave my heart and soul to you, girl
Didn’t I do it baby, didn’t I do it baby?🪄
Gave you the love you never knew, girl
Didn’t I do it baby, didn’t I do it baby?🪄
I’ve tried so many times and that’s no lie
It seems to make you laugh each time I cry🪄
Didn’t I blow your mind this time, didn’t I?
Didn’t I blow your mind this time, didn’t I?
Listen🪄
I thought that heart of yours was true, girl
Now didn’t I think it baby, didn’t I think it baby?🪄
But this time I’m really leavin’ you, girl
Hope you know it baby, hope you know it baby🪄
Ten times or more, yes, I’ve walked out that door
Get this into your head, there’ll be no more🪄
Didn’t I blow your mind this time, didn’t I?
Didn’t I blow your mind this time, didn’t I?🪄
Didn’t I do it baby, didn’t I do it baby?
Didn’t I do it baby, didn’t I do it baby?🪄
Ten times or more, yes, I’ve walked out that door
Get this into your head, there’ll be no more🪄
Didn’t I blow your mind this time, didn’t I?
Didn’t I blow your mind this time, didn’t I?
I got to live you, baby🪄
Didn’t I blow your mind this time, didn’t I?
Didn’t I blow your mind this time, didn’t I?

#70 No Time (The Guess Who) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
(No time left for you) On my way to better things
(No time left for you) I found myself some wings
(No time left for you) Distant roads are callin’ me
(No time left for you)🪄
Time, time, time, time, time🪄
No time for a gentle rain
No time for my watch and chain
No time for revolving doors
No time for the killin’ floor
No time for the killin’ floor
There’s no time left for you
No time left for you🪄
(No time left for you) On my way to better things
(No time left for you) I found myself some wings
(No time left for you) Distant roads are callin’ me
(No time left for you)🪄
No time for a summer friend
No time for the love you send
Seasons change and so did I
You need not wonder why
You need not wonder why
There’s no time left for you
No time left for you🪄
(No time left for you) On my way to better things
(No time left for you) I found myself some wings
(No time left for you) Distant roads are callin’ me
(No time left for you)🪄
No time for a summer friend
No time for the love you send
Seasons change and so did I
You need not wonder why
You need not wonder why
There’s no time left for you
No time left for you🪄
(No time) No time, no time, no time, no time
No no no time, no no time, no time, no time
I got, got, got, got no time
I got, got, got, got no time for you, woman
I got no time for you, woman
I got no time for your stupid games anymore
No, no
I got no time for you, woman, no
I got no time for hangin’ around
For gettin’ stepped on
For gettin’ pushed around, woman
I got no time for hangin’ around them kind of things

#69 Evil Ways (Santana) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
You’ve got to change your evil ways, baby
Before I stop lovin’ you
You’ve got to change, baby
And every word that I say is true🪄
You’ve got me runnin’ and hidin’ all over town
You’ve got me sneakin’ and a peepin’ and runnin’ you down
This can’t go on
Lord knows, you’ve got to change, baby🪄
Baby, when I come home, baby
My house is dark, and my thoughts are cold
You hang around, baby
With Jean and Joan and a who knows who🪄
I’m gettin’ tired of waiting and fooling around
I’ll find somebody that won’t make me feel like a clown
This can’t go on
Lord knows, you’ve got to change🪄
When I come home, baby
My house is dark, and my thoughts are cold
You hang around baby
With Jean and Joan and a who knows who?🪄
I’m gettin’ tired of waiting and fooling around
I’ll find somebody that won’t me feel like a clown
This can’t go on
Yeah, yeah, yeah🪄
Thank you very much

#67 Fire and Rain (James Taylor) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Just yesterday mornin’, they let me know you were gone
Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can’t remember who to send it to🪄
I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain
I’ve seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I’d see you again🪄
Won’t you look down upon me, Jesus?
You’ve got to help me make a stand
You’ve just got to see me through another day
My body’s aching and my time is at hand
And I won’t make it any other way🪄
Oh, I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain
I’ve seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I’d see you again🪄
Been walking my mind to an easy time
My back turned towards the sun
Lord knows, when the cold wind blows
It’ll turn your head around
Well, there’s hours of time on the telephone line
To talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground🪄
Oh, I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain
I’ve seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I’d see you, baby
One more time again, now
Thought I’d see you one more time again
There’s just a few things coming my way this time around, now
Thought I’d see you, thought I’d see you, fire and rain, now
