Planet Earth Song

VERSE
 Down Silver Avenue in rain and mist
 You're lookin' for Easy Street which don't exist
 And count the years, yes, and count the years
 You smash the mirrored walls and you cut your fist
 You can't control yourself, you can't resist
 And shed a tear, oh, yes, and shed a tear
 CHORUS #1
 Gotta love to live
 Gotta wild, old, rambling road, boy
 VERSE
 You've seen the queen of hearts get torn in half
 Beneath the chandelier, the golden calf
 And diamond rings, yes, yes, yes and diamond rings
 You've seen them factories and railroad yards
 And silver moonlit walls with windows barred
 And all these thing, oh, yes, and all these things
 CHORUS #2
 Gotta love to live
 Gotta long, old, winding road, boy
 (INSTRUMENTAL BREAK)
 VERSE
 And back in Baltimore the morning came
 Her face was paradise--you hear her name
 Can't break her spell, oh, no, you can't break her spell
 She's bound for distant lands and she won't be back
 Her voice was soft and sweet, her skin so black
 And fare you well, oh, say well, well, well and fare you well
 CHORUS #3
 Gotta love to live
 Gotta lost, old, lonesome road, boy
 (INSTRUMENTAL OUT)
