A Trip Is Not A Way Out © John Birch 2007

Country or Rock

50 years ago today

I drove my Chevrolet

Into a town just to hear the sound

Of rock 'n' roll on the radio

And all the ladies loved him

He drove them crazy

But what’s he doing now?

He’s pushing up daisies

When all your heroes are on heroin

You start to wonder are they genuine

Let me give you a tip

To me, there is no doubt

That, It may be a trip

But it is not a way out

I saw the band the other night

And I thought that they were quite all right

But when I saw the band walkin’ down the street

Afterwards, they could hardly move their feet

When all your heroes are on heroin

You start to wonder are they genuine

Let me give you a tip

To me, there is no doubt

That, It may be a trip

But it is not a way out

Let me give you a tip

To me, there is no doubt

That, It may be a trip

But it is not a way out

Things Change ©J.Birch 2008. piano ballad female singer brightly

We played

And you wrote the tune

I stayed

And you heard, the words

And then

There was the other girl

And then

The world

Ch. Things change

Winter turns to spring

We rage

But don’t understand a thing

I’ll stay

I will brighten up your day

For no matter how things change

I will always love you

Down,

Down, down deeper down

The sound

Became very loud

We raged

But then you turned the page

And then…

Things changed
