Roger McGuinn - Take Me Away lyrics

You should have been there when The time was right for the music to begin You shoulda been there when That band of gypsies started rollin' in You should seen it You'da swore for sure the circus came to town There were ladies ridin' bareback And the mystery man All painted like a clown You should seen October feelin' Like I never felt before Flashin up New England skies Like the fires of the revoluntionary war You shoulda heard the music comin' down Like the hardest rain that ever fell Wakin' up in the afternoons With a hundred lovers feedin' in the same motel Take me away take me away take me away Take me away take me away take me away Take me away take me away take me away Take me away take me away take me away To the place where the greatest Show on earth is playin' high on your highway You shoulda seen me I've been told I had a smile upon my face Slippin' from state to state Endin' up in a drunken state of grace It wasn't very long ago I used to say this kind of life is rough You shoulda been there But I can tell you even that was not enough Take me away take me away take me away Take me away take me away take me away Take me away take me away take me away Take me away take me away take me away
