Beatles Without John |
LyricsBEATLES WITHOUT JOHNPast the city limits on 65, hypnotized by little white lines As I blow on by, and wonder why... After ten good years something when wrong, you let go, now I'm just hanging on To the radio, it's an all Beatles show The Fab Four are coming through Filling my mind with memories of you Can I Get Back to where I Feel Fine I'm So Tired from A Hard Day's Night On this Long And Winding Road My broken heart won't Let It Be When I hear that Guitar Gently Weep I could use some Help There'd be no Beatles without John And there's no perfect pair since you've been gone...I'm just a sad song I'm headed on back to Birmingham, to try to get by with some help from my friends But until then, I imagine... The speakers in here have come alive, with Ringo on the left, George on the right And Paul's in between, singing these songs to me With a Lonely Heart and a Rubber Soul I've turned this interstate into Abbey Road We'd Come Together when times got tough I believed All You Need is Love If we tried Eight Days A Week You always said We Can Work It Out Our wedding DJ played Twist and Shout It seems like Yesterday There'd be no Beatles without John And there's no perfect pair since you've been gone...I'm just a sad song Can I Get Back to where I Feel Fine I'm So Tired from A Hard Day's Night I could use some Help We'd Come Together when times got tough I believed All You Need is Love It seems like Yesterday There'd be no Beatles without John And there's no harmony since you've been gone...I'm just a sad song ...I'm just a sad song....Just like the Beatles...without John |
