Lead Vocals:Mike Peters
Lyrics
:
Born of nineteen fifty nine That'll be the day rock'n'roll died Far away on a dark, stormy night America became fifty states The sixties opened the pearly gates A hard rain fell and the times forever changed And all eyes fell on a motorcade In Texas state a crime unveiled Norma Jean she waits where she�s killed And sixty eight rang like a ricochet The world arose to a nightmare day People found their voice and a world to change And one small step for man, One giant leap for mankind How I wish we could walk that way tonight On a Woodstock field twenty four lies The music as a baby cries The sound of generations collide Take me home To the place where I belong To the place where I come from Won�t you please take me home And the seventies king of rock'n'roll In Gracelands lost his throne They say he�ll make a comeback tomorrow No Elvis, Beatles or the Rolling Stones We tried to exorsise their ghosts Formed a band we could not play a note And the tragedies behind the dramas Belie the truth and the honesty I have seen the dirt and the glory Take me home To the place where I belong To the place where I come from Won�t you please take me home And I�ve still got lots of freedom And I�ve raised the flag for my kingdom And at night I close my eyes And dream the dream of dreams Take me home Take me home To the place where I belong To the place where I come from Won�t you please take me home Take me home To the place where I belong To the place where I come from Won�t you please take me home Take me home To the place where I belong To the place where I come from Won�t you please take me home
