From the time that I wake to the time that I rise, she's a lover and so am I
But the lady loves her passion more than me
When I'm under her spell, then I know very well, how her magic can mystify
And the lady leaves her lovers in ecstasy
She's young, but she's wise, and the heaven in her eyes at half a glance
Is as much as a man can see

Down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
People put me down 'cause that's the side of town I was born in

I love her and she loves me
But I don't fit her society
Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks

Every night I will watch the light from the house upon the hill
I love a little girl that lives up there, I guess I always will
But I don't dare knock on her door

Slow talkin', the line you're walkin'
Look like a viper wearin' silkin' stockings
You make 'em guess they'd be gettin' the best
Can't help but wonder if you'd pass the test
Kissin' my fingers, you touch my face
'N play your hand like you're holdin' the ace
But Baby when it comes around, are you gonna pick it up or lay it down
You make it harder and harder to stop what you've started

Easy driver, she's a wicked rider
She's smooth and she's skinny and she's probably mean
Easy driver, pull up beside her, roll down the window on this fine machine
Chorus:
(Ooh ooh ooh) don't turn away, (ooh ooh ooh) just give me a sign
(Ooh ooh ooh) don't be afraid, (ooh ooh) love is so hard to find
Easy driver, get on up beside her, she don't drive like she knows the way

In the night, when a mist of sleep surrounds me
You come to me and hold me tight, winding your body all around me
And everywhere you touch I feel, that my love for you is much too real
Oh, it's the same damn thing, wanting you in my dreams
It's the same damn thing, wanting you in my dreams
Sleepwalkin' - I know every move you make, and every word I say

Out of my head and delighted, somebody knows how I feel
If you ask me to play it, you won't have to say it twice
'Cause I'm goin' to the head of the line, I'm takin' my life away
I'm so glad you made it, and now that you're ready
I'll begin to tell you what you want, but I know
(I feel, I feel) somebody knows, (I feel, I feel) somebody knows
(I feel, I feel) somebody knows, (I feel, I feel)

Here's a sweet September morning, there's the sense of Autumn on the rise
He steps into the wind and sadly sighs
"Why does it always seem to be, there's a cold December wind in front of me?"
The more he fills his empty evenings
The less he feels that there's a chance to find
Something that can bring a peace of mind
Is there a place where you can go?

He came from somewhere back in her long ago
The sentimental fool don't see
Tryin' hard to recreate
What had yet to be created once in her life
She musters a smile
For his nostalgic tale
Never coming near what he wanted to say
Only to realized
It never really was
She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As she rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know

Whenever I call you friend
I begin to think I understand
Anything we are
You and I have always been ever and ever

I see myself within your eyes
And that's all I need to show me why
Everything I do always takes me home to you
Ever and ever

Now I know my life has given me
More than memories
Day by day we can see
In every moment there's a reason to carry on
