I used to rule the world, Seas would rise when I gave the word, Now in the morning, I sleep alone, Sweep the streets I used to own

I walk a lonely road, The only one that I have ever known, Don't know where it goes, But it's home to me, and I walk alone

I've been reading books of old, The legends and the myths, Achilles and his gold, Hercules and his gifts

And now the end is here, And so I face that final curtain

Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River

Now I've heard there was a secret chord, That David played, and it pleased the Lord, But you dont really care for music, do you?

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart, Without saying a word, you can light up the dark

You can dance, You can jive, Having the time of your life

When the night, has come, And the land is dark, And the moon, is the only, light we'll see

Have you got color in your cheeks? Do you ever get that fear that you can't shift the type

You are my fire, The one desire, Believe when I say

I found a love for me, for me, Oh darling, just dive right in and follow my lead

Didn't know what time it was, the lights were low,I leaned back on my radio, Some cat was layin down some rock 'n' roll, "Lotta soul," he said
