Journey Through the Past lyrics

Artist: Buffalo Springfield Lyrics

Title: Rock & Roll Woman Lyric

Lyric: (Stephen Stills)
There's a woman that you ought to know

And she's coming, singing soft and low

Singing rock and roll, she's a joy to know

'Neath the shadow of a soothing hand

I am free there, just to make my plans

Dream of faraway lands, anything close at hand

And she will follow me wide, do you know

Find the cost of freedom buried in the groundMother Earth will swallow you, lay your body downFind the cost of freedom buried in the groundMother Earth will swallow you, lay your body down

Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.

Old man look at my life,
Twenty four and there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two.

Love lost, such a cost,
Give me things that don't get lost.
Like a coin that won't get tossed

Southern man better keep your head
Don't forget what your good book said
Southern change gonna come at last
Now your crosses are burning fast
Southern man

I saw cotton and I saw black
Tall white mansions and little shacks.
Southern man when will you pay them back?
I heard screamin' and bullwhips cracking
How long? How long?

Southern man better keep your head

Oh Alabama
The devil fools
with the best laid plan.
Swing low Alabama
You got spare change
You got to feel strange
And now the moment
is all that it meant.

Alabama, you got
the weight on your shoulders
That's breaking your back.
Your Cadillac
has got a wheel in the ditch
And a wheel on the track

Oh Alabama
Banjos playing
through the broken glass

Words by Beth Slater Whitson, Music by Leo Friedman
I am dreaming Dear of you, day by day
Dreaming when the skies are blue, When they're gray;
When the silv'ry moonlight gleams, Still I wander on in dreams,
In a land of love, it seems, Just with you.

Let me call you "Sweetheart," I'm in love with you.
Let me hear you whisper that you love me too.

Well, I dreamed I saw the knights in armor coming,
saying' something about a queen.
There were peasants singing' and drummers drumming'
and the archer split the tree.
There's a fanfare blowing' to the sun
that was floating on the breeze.
Look at Mother Nature on the run in the nineteen seventies.
Look at Mother Nature on the run in the nineteen seventies.

Someone and someone

were down by the pond

Looking for something

to plant in the lawn.
Out in the fields they

were turning the soil

I'm sitting here hoping

this water will boil

When I look through the windows

and out on the road

They're bringing me presents

and saying hello.

Singing words, words

between the lines of age.

Words, words

between the lines of age.

I think this song is an instrumental. And it's also a Beachboy cut from the
Petsounds album. I remember that for two reasons--listening to the album and
not being sure why a Beachboy song would appear here, and reading a Rolling
Stone review.

I remember this Rolling Stone Magazine article complaining about the fact that

Southern man
better keep your head
Don't forget
what your good book said
Southern change
gonna come at last
Now your crosses
are burning fast
Southern man

I saw cotton
and I saw black
Tall white mansions
and little shacks.
Southern man
when will you
pay them back?
I heard screamin'
and bullwhips cracking
How long? How long?

Southern man
better keep your head
Don't forget
