All She Ever Wanted
Folder:
And Time Goes By
TRIBUTE TO JANIS JOPLIN
She sang of building tie-dyed dreams
Where loneliness would end
Where things would be the way they should
And grass was something green
She dreamed about pied pipers
And flying through the skies
Finding a place along the way
Where folks don't wish to die
She sang about her daddy
He was always on her mind
He'll give her candy if she's good
It was daddy all the time
But daddy didn't love her
And mama didn't care
She had no one to walk with
She didn't fit in anywhere
She sang of horses in a tree
And buying plastic boots
And easy riders running loose
In store-bought cardboard suits
Buying high-priced liquor
And buying high-priced friends
East time she got back from down-and-out
She'd do it all again
She sang of the River Jordan
How she'd sit down with The Lord
She'd walk and talk with Jesus
Until all heaven was bored
She wound up on Black Mountain
Stoned but still alive
Then gave up her ghost to Jesus
In the Landmark, one-o-five
