  • Slipping away, what can I say, won't you stay inside me, month of May?
    And hold on to me golden days, slipping away
    Sunshine on my wall to keep my mind on the things I'm saying
    Footsteps in the hall to tell me I've been this way before, nevermore
    Let it rain, sweet Mary Jane, let it wash your love down all around me
    Come inside and put it down, let it rain

    I've been trying hard to find a way to let you know
    That we can make it shine most all the time
    This time round I'm searching down to where I used to go
    And it's been on my mind to make it shine

    You can say I wanna be free, I can say someday I will be

    You can say I wanna be free, I can say someday I will be

    When I catch a common cold, wanna hear a saxophone
    When I let the good times roll, baby, slide me a bass trombone
    Walk me down old Funky Street
    Lord knows I feel good enough to eat now
    Hold my soul. Now, I'm sure enough fond of my rock 'n roll

    When I go to sleep at night, wanna hear a slide guitar
    When I'm feeling loose and right, go riding in my automobile
    Boney Maroney and Peggy Sue, got the rocking pneumonia, got the boogy-woogy flu, hey
    Hold my soul, said I'm sure enough fond of my rock 'n roll, good God
    Looky here, looky here, woo Writer/s: JAMES TAYLOR, JAMES V TAYLOR
