Yesterdays |
Yesterdays… Yesterdays… Yesterdays |
If you want to clap your hands it’s okay |
If you want to snap your fingers it’s all right |
Such a nice groove |
For some nice folks |
I want to tell you a story |
About how I started out |
I believe the year was 1976 |
When I decided to leave my home you see |
It was time for me to go out into the world and to seek my fortune |
I had a choice |
I could either be starved and be cold |
And move to the east |
Or starve and be hot |
So hot you see and move to the west |
I picked LA |
I wanna share with you the first five chapters of my life |
Chapter One |
I was walking down the street |
With my head held high and my pockets filled with dreams |
And I feel into a hole |
I said to myself who put that hole there |
Whoever put it there sure is mean |
So I picked myself up out of the hole |
Dusted myself off and went on my merry way |
Chapter Two |
I was walking down the same street |
Feeling good |
And I fell into a hole |
I said to myself who put this hole there |
Whoever put it there sure is mean |
So I climbed up out of the hole and I dusted myself off went on my way |
And remember thinking not everybody loves you like your mother |
Chapter Three |
I was walking down the same street |
When I fell, oh yes I fell I tumbled hard this time |
Down the same hole |
I said to myself |
I know this hole |
I’ve been here before and I don’t want to come back no more |
So I picked myself up out of the hole |
Dusted myself off |
Said hole you ain’t gonna get me no more |
Well… Chapter 4 |
I was walking down the same street |
I like to flurt with danger |
That’s my nature |
But this time I saw the hole and I jumped over the hole |
I said hole you won’t get me no more |
I kicked some dirt into the hole |
Well now |
That I learned how to live |
I’m living what I learned |
So I’m in chapter five right here right now |
And I’m walking down a new street |
Feelin' healthy |
Feelin' fine |
Feelin' prosperous oh the whole the world is mine |
I take my time |
Do as I Please |
Please when I want to |
It sure feels good |
They say life begins after that number and it sure does |
Yesterday Yesterday Yesterdays |
I love Yesterdays |
Yesterdays |
Now I’m thinking about today |
