james taylor - line 'em up - live at the colonial theatre lyrics

Loading...

i remember richard nixon back in ’74
and the final scene at the white house door
and the staff lined up to say good-bye
tiny tear in his shifty little eye
he said, “n0body knows me, n0body understands
these little people were good to me
i’m gonna shake some hands.”

somebody line ’em up, line ’em all up
line ’em up, line ’em all up
somebody line ’em up, line ’em all up
line ’em up, line ’em all up

at that time my heart was all broke
i looked like ashes and smelled like smoke
and i turned away from my loving kind
try to leave my body and live in my mind
but it’s much too much emotion to hold it in your hand
they’ve got waves out on the ocean
they’ve got to wear away the land

somebody line ’em up, line ’em all up
line ’em up, line ’em all up
want you to line ’em up, line ’em all up
line ’em up, line ’em all up

oh, i’ve seen corn in kansas
i’ve seen picket fences
and certain cowboy dances
i’ve gone lining up for shows
i’ve been safely placed in rows
sure i know how it goes

another day goes by, little time machine
i’m raking my brain over what it might mean
just to claim the time and to turn away
to make today today
who waits for you, lonely tired old toad?
it’s your life laid out before you
like the broken white line down the center of the doggone road

line ’em up, line ’em all up
line ’em up, line ’em all up
line ’em up, line ’em all up

yeah, big moon landing, people are standing up
smiles for the loved ones, they go walking on down the aisles
each re-engages stepping into the sun
i watch them turn like pages one by one by one

somebody line ’em up, line ’em all up
want you to line ’em up, line ’em all up
