grand funk railroad - feelin alright

Seems I got to have a change in scene,
'Cause every night I have the strangest dreams.
Imprisoned by the way things used to be, yeah,
Left here on my own or so it seems.
I got to leave before I start to scream,
'Cause somebody locked the door and took the key.

Feelin' alright? I'm not feelin' too good myself.
Feelin' alright? I'm not feelin' too good myself.
Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo-ooo.
Baby, you sure took me on one big ride,
And, even now I sit and wonder why.
Then, when I think of you, I start to cry,
I know I can't get upset and I must keep dry.
I got to stop believin' in all your lies,
'Cause I got too much to do before I die.

Got to make a new world, ought to make the old one right.

Take me out to the battlefield, let me hear the shells flying by.
Let me hear the sound of the cannons, let me hear them scream and cry.
Whoa, can't you hear their dreams, as they tumble to the blood-soaked ground?
Whoa, hear them scream for shelter, from the world they never found.
CHORUS
Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo-ooo. (repeated out to end)

Everybody, listen to me,
And return me, my ship.

To the port of my birth.

To take my ship away from me?

And it's tightening, around my throat.

grand funk railroad - call yourself a man

Everybody's laughin', loud as it can be,
But please don't point your finger, especially not at me.
'Cause I'm not tryin' to be somebody, I just do what I can,
But you just keep on laughin', call yourself a man!
I'm not lookin' for somebody, to defend my case.
I've been scorned by more than one, so stop this paper chase.
If you can't accept me, just for what I am,
Go ahead, reject me, call yourself a man!
Tell me who you're foolin', is it not yourself?
Go ahead, be cool, and, I'll just be myself.
And if you can't accept me, just for what I am,
Go ahead, reject me, call yourself a man!

grand funk railroad - i fell for your love

Hey Baby so now you're goin', is your mind relieved?
Did you get what you wanted and have some fun playin' make believe?
I have never lost so much pleasure, so it's hard to be nice.
Hey Baby feel my hand, ain't it cold as ice?
CHORUS
'Cause I fell for your love, when I was out of my mind.
I fell for your love, and now you tell me it's time.
To kiss it away, to stand here and say, good-bye.
Can't you understand the way I live?
Half a love is all that I can give.
Lonely ladies and empty faces for a long long time.
And you might be one baby when we meet again and I'll still try to make you mine.
CHORUS
I fell for your love when I was out of my mind.
I fell for your love when love was so hard to find.
I gave you my heart and now you tell me it's time,
To give up my love when it's so damn hard to find.
Love is so hard to find.
Love is so hard to find.
Love is so hard to find.
I'm so lonely baby.
Love is so hard to find.
Them empty faces, all I wanted was you.
Love is so hard to find.
I gave you my heart and now you tell me it's time,
Love is so hard to find.
To stand and say good-bye.
Love is so hard to find.
Love is so hard to find.
Love is so hard to find.
When it's so damn hard to find.
Love is so hard to find.
I fell for your love when I was out of my mind.

grand funk railroad - born to die

Life is too short now, to live it half way.
I'm cryin' for my cousin, who died yesterday.
He never had a chance, no, not to express his views.
I swear that he's leaving it, to the rest of you.
Oh he ...

But there's always that one thing, we never do count on.
You was born for it to happen to you ...

He was on a motorcycle, in a side car.

grand funk railroad - wild

I don't know why, feel quite like a natural guy.
But, ever since I was a baby, people calling me crazy.
You know I ain't crazy.
For, I oh I, I got my finger in the pie.
Until I took a step back, and looked where I was at.
I said "I'm not really satisfied."

CHORUS
I wanna' be wild like I'm supposed to be,
Strong and totally free.
I want to be wild [just like/because] I know I am,
Wild just like a natural man ...

Who was born to be wild.

Wild, born wild, wild the young American style.
Together we are strong, my brother said there ain't no heaven.
There ain't no orders above us.
Now, I don't know why, can get by on a natural high.
My high is the strength of my nature it's a good vibration, now, feeling sensation.

CHORUS
Who was born to be wild.

Oh, I'm gonna tell you a story 'bout a little boy.
Oh, a sad little boy.
I'm talkin' 'bout Little Johnny Hooker.
Little Johnny Hooker was a sissy on the street all his life --
All his natural born life.
Until his daddy took him aside and said,
"Son, now here's your switchblade knife boy."
He said "get out in the street boy,
Cut yourself some meat boy.
Get out on your own side of the road,
And lighten my load."
Johnny made a mistake and took his knife down to school one day.
Hey, yeah, yeah.
And, when the bell rang for lunch.
Freddie Miller went and got in Johnny's way boy.
He took his knife from his pocket, pushed a button on the side.
When he seen the queen steel,
You ought to seen the light in Freddy's eyes.
Oh, Yeah ...
Little Johnny Hooker learned his lesson from the knife now you see,
(Yes he did.)
Because for what he done to Fred he spent some time in a penitentiary.
It was a day in the courtroom, Exhibit letter "A."
When the jury seen the knife they put little Johnny's ass away.
Little Johnny Hooker, he ain't a bad looker, he ain't a bad man, he ain't.
Little Johnny Hooker, he ain't a bad looker, he ain't a bad man, he ain't.
Little Johnny Hooker, he ain't a bad looker, he ain't a bad man, he ain't.
Talkin' 'bout Jooohhhnnny.

Oh, Little Johnny boy.
Little Johnny Hooker, he ain't a bad looker, he ain't a bad man, he ain't.

He's thinkin' the rest of his life,
For what he done with the knife.
Talkin' 'bout Jooohhhnnny.

grand funk railroad - winter and my soul

I see a pear falling down from the tree.
Winter is coming and it's plain to see.
I spend the cold nights in my lonely room.
Is it the winter to which I am doomed?
Cold is the snow that will cover the ground.
I feel the presence of tears falling down.
Is it for pity or pain that I cry?
Color is gone and the grass it must die.
Winter brings sadness that empties my soul.
Life is too short for a dog growing old.
He used to follow and play at my heels.
Love from his heart I no longer can feel.
