LYRICS OF THE 5th ALBUM “LIKE A COUNTRY BOY” (1996)
LIKE A COUNTRY BOY (McAnthony)
It's country time / I catch the rhythm that makes me feel so fine / just relax, you can ease your mind / forget the blues, clap your hands, it's country time
Let’s get down and swing / we get the feeling that will make us sing / to be alive, we can't lose a thing /just relax, raise the voice, we can sing
Riding on a wild horse at the rodeo I travel on the train, have no way to go I like a country boy / wondering what another day will bring I the Lord will provide, ain't missing anything I like a country boy
I wanna play for you / you better join me and you won't feel blue / get my guitar raise my heart and sing for you
Riding on a wild horse at the rodeo I travel on the train, have no way to go I like a country boy / wondering what another day will bring I the Lord will provide, ain't missing anything I like a country boy
LONDON STREET PICKING (McAnthony)
Free born "66, on the country side / good hearted family, fife was all right / growing up was easier than it is today
African long nights, back in ‘85 / they have changed direction of my whole life / country mood feeling became my destiny
On London street picking my old guitar I on Paris lane blowing my harmonica ! this is my story, another cowboy song
USA V92, cross the whole land / South Dakota Indians, meet some new friends / Nashville studio, get some songs on the track
On London street picking my old guitar I on Paris lane blowing my harmonica ! this is my story, another cowboy song
Roady and pick up truck, we move from town to town / Italy city square, people gather round / get their hands clapping, put a smile on their face
LIFE GOES ON (McAnthony)
Little rose you look so dry / it won't be long, you're gonna die / no final end but change of state / well there is hope, don't be afraid
Life goes on one more round, Life goes on, Life goes on one more round, Life goes on
Dear brother, always on my mind / I hear your voice from time to time / heaven bound your life is new / this little song I wrote for you
Life goes on one more round, Life goes on, Life goes on one more round, Life goes on
Just like a seed that has to die / it's giving birth to a tree so high / I guess you know the time has come / the whole world got to sing along
Life goes on one more round, Life goes on, Life goes on one more round, Life goes on
When you're down and you can't get up / misunderstood and out of luck / you see no light, it's getting hard / tomorrow brings a brand new start
LET'S TALK IT OVER (McAnthony)
In this old world trouble never ends / history shows, man against man / sister against brother, father against child / you against me, let's stop this fight
Right or wrong, who's to blame / maybe our dreams can be the same / trouble about nations, about faith and race / let's talk about, brother, let's do it face to face
All we gotta do, let's talk it over I all we gotta do, let's have a little chat
Everybody’s willing but no one talks / everybody's waiting that the other one starts / united we stand, divided we fail / let's talk about, honey, or we'll lose it all
All we gotta do, let's talk it over I all we gotta do, let's have a little chat
Family crisis, trouble in love / children who suffer, it can be tough / misunderstanding, feeling blue / a good conversation will lead us through
LOVE IS THE ROAD (McAnthony)
Love is a flower on the hill / it is a treasure you can't buy / Love doesn't hurt, it never will / but sometimes it makes you cry
Love is a warm and helping hand / makes you feel eternity / Love will help to understand / it has the strength to make us free
Love is the road we will be going I walking side by side / Love is the road that leads to glory I it tells me everything is gonna be all right
Love is a rainbow in the sky / it shows that God still loves the world / Love is the light in children's eyes / it's much more than a simple word
Love is the road we will be going I walking side by side / Love is the road that leads to glory I it tells me everything is gonna be all right
Love is a glowing burning fire / that doesn't fear the strongest wind / Love can fill you with desire / takes you away like a Zeppelin
HEY STRANGER (McAnthony)
Hey! Stranger on the way / reaching a place, knowing you belong to another race / you're new, with lotta things to do / striving for hold when the winds are breezing cold
Hey! I say, don't you be afraid /just get by, many things can make you sad and cry / it's fair, you gotta right to be here / to settle down, seeking fortune in another town
Every stranger knows, maybe some day I time could bring him back on the road I life could be so bright, as the morning light I if there ain't no hatred anymore
Hey! we all were strangers one day / we must understand, strangers need a friend and a helping hand / don't wait, it ain't never too late / side by side, life is gonna be all right
Hey! A better place to stay / sure he's found, but still he's got to move around and round / care, so many things to share / we gotta try to look through the stranger's eyes
Every stranger knows, maybe some day I time could bring him back on the road I life could be so bright, as the morning light I if there ain't no hatred anymore
MUSIC IS FEELING FREE(McAnthony)
Last night the big boss of the record company / told me what I'm doing wrong / "you gotta be famous and change your style and sing commercial techno songs"
Don’t sing like "Take That" or the Rolling Stones / somehow I gotta different style / I'm not as cool as Milli Vanilli / that won't turn me down, get my feet on the ground
Music is feeling free / music is liberty / touching every heart in need
Hello freedom, goodbye blues / don't worry 'bout the days to come / I wanna tell you what I love to do / play country music all night long / that's where I belong
Music is feeling free / music is liberty / touching every heart in need
AFRICAN BLUESKY (McAnthony)
Midnight hour in the African heat / I toss and turn and get on my feet / stars seem to be so much bigger out here / African blue sky, music's in the air
You see people walk slower and get more for less / more time for living and less time for stress / wonders can happen on people who care / African blue sky, music's in the air
Time to discover the little things around / it isn't hard if you dare / thinking about all the friends that I found I my heart is still over there
Red sundown for black and white / work and sing together feeling all right / if two different people are ready to share / African blue sky, music's in the air
Time to discover the little things around / it isn't hard if you dare / thinking about all the friends that I found I my heart is still over there
THE GYPSY & THE KING (McAnthony)
Last night I had a vision in a dream / still I figure out what does it mean / just like an eagle I observed the scene / on a place where I have never ever been / there was an old town, a gypsy and a king
Out there on the other side of town / I can see the gypsy playing around / he plays the fiddle lei lei lei lei lei / when the moon will rise he's sleeping on the road again / well he's a poor guy but he's happy with his friends
And they sing “hey keep your heart free from worry / live simply, expect little, give more / fill your life with love and you can win” / you gotta choose between the gypsy and the king
Up there in the castle lives the king / everyone in town wants to be like him / he's got the power and he can rule the world / well, he's a rich guy, see him sitting on his throne / but deep inside he's unhappy and all alone / poor boy
They‘ve got a new way of living / a brand new way of looking at life / still I hear the gypsies as they sing / "you gotta fill your life with love and you can win"
PEACE IN SARAJEVO (McAnthony)
When the poets do surrender and the eagle is flying low / when the devil gets the power and the price of life is low / then a war begins to grow
Different colors in the rainbow live together by and by / wait for peace in Sarajevo, don't you ever ask me why / it takes one eye for one eye
Every war will have an end / people lend a helping hand / and the news goes everywhere / that good life is here to share, share
Pray for peace in Sarajevo hope that harmony / comes soon / like a wrong chord on my guitar every war is out of tune / and the war is our ruin
Every war will have an end I people lend a helping hand / and the news goes everywhere / e la pace ritornerà / and Frieden kehrt wieder heim / i dobro je da se dijeli / that good life is here to share
BROTHER GOODBYE (McAnthony)
Brother goodbye, a tear in my eye / memories stay alive, they will never die / you and me, as close as we can be / in your eyes I see eternity
Brothers by heart, good friends by soul / teach me how to live, give me hold / life never ends because life goes on / a rainbow is in my mind, tears are gone
Brother goodbye, please stay ground me / guide my life day by day / brother goodbye, I wont be lonely, if only I we'll be still together everyday
You’re so far and yet you're so near / everybody's gonna miss you but we got no fear / good friends by soul, brothers by heart / your spirit is still alive and will never part
Brother goodbye, please stay ground me / guide my life day by day / brother goodbye, I wont be lonely, if only I we'll be still together everyday
EVERYBODY'S LOOKING FOR LOVE (McAnthony)
When your hand is going to touch mine I feel love flow / appreciate the people for what they really are and their confidence grows / when somebody's doing wrong it's just because he might be feeling alone / he needs esteem, affection, everybody's looking for love
People get the blues when they're down and misunderstood / people get lazy and crazy and do no good / people cry and then their heart is shaking and breaking / life can loose its balance very soon
Do we, do we have the strength to stand alone again? / do we, do we face the world out on our own again? / We can never get enough, we know without it, boy, it can be tough / we need esteem, affection, everybody's looking for love
People get the blues when they're down and misunderstood / people get lazy and crazy and do no good / people cry and then their heart is shaking and breaking / life can loose its balance very soon
Sitting on the green ground / watching up and see the birds flying / wonder where they're heading for, how they find the way, they're trying / they see the Mississippi sun, warming up and then they fly back home / they look for peace and sunshine, everybody's looking for love
