I'd walk a thousand miles for you, honey,
I'd walk a thousand miles in the sun;
I'd give up both my eyes if I could make you realize,
Why can't you see that I'm the one?
Wish I could buy a limousine,
I'd fill it up and I'd pick you up and drive you to your dreams;
When you get out on the highway life is seldom as it seems,
And when the car breaks down you'd start blaming me
Moonshine bleeds into the dawn,
Who am I to say for you what's right and what is wrong?
When you're gone gone gone the world will carry on;
You're like a song song song who's melody is wrong,
It's so so hard to say so long to you, my long lost love.
Many a man will sell his soul for silver,
Silver ain't worth nothing next to gold;
Some believe that diamonds shine forever,
They offer little comfort when you're old.
And you can't take it with you when you're gone,
Its the same end for the weak as for the strong;
And if beauty is skin deep,
Then why don't it come more cheap?
Why can't you and I just get along?
Moonshine bleeds into the dawn,
Who am I to say for you what's right and what is wrong?
When you're gone gone gone the world will carry on;
You're like a song song song who's melody is wrong,
And it's so so hard to say so long to you, my long lost love.
Moonshine bleeds into the dawn,
Who am I to say for you what's right and what is wrong?
When you're gone gone gone the world will carry on;
You're like a song song song who's melody is wrong,
And it's so so hard to say so long to you, my long lost love.
