Gram Parsons

Gram Parsons (November 5, 1946 – September 19, 1973) was an American singer, songwriter, guitarist and pianist. Parsons is best known for his work within the country genre; he also mixed blues, folk, and rock to create what he called "Cosmic American Music". Besides recording as a solo artist, he also worked in several notable bands, including the International Submarine Band, The Byrds, and The Flying Burrito Brothers. His career, though short, is described by Allmusic as "enormously influential" for both country and rock, "blending the two genres to the point that they became indistinguishable from each other." more »

Oh, my land is like a wild goose 
Wanders all around everywhere 
Trembles and it shakes till every tree's loose 
It rolls the meadows and it rolls the nails 

So take me down to your dance floor  
And I won't mind the people when they stare 
Paint a different color on your front door 
And tomorrow we will still be there   
    
Jesus built a ship to sing a song to 
It sails the rivers and it sails the tide 
Some of my friends don't know who they belong to 
Some can't get a single thing to work inside 

So take me down to your dance floor 
And I won't mind the people when they stare 
Paint a different color on your front door 
And tomorrow we will still be there

I loved you every day and now I'm leaving 
And I can see the sorrow in your eyes 
I hope you know a lot more than you're believing 
Just so the sun don't hurt you when you cry 

Oh, take me down to your dance floor 
I won't mind the people when they stare 
Paint a different color on your front door 
And tomorrow we may still be there 
And tomorrow we may still be there
