Take Me Away - Roger McGuinn

Take Me Away - Roger McGuinn
You should have been there when
The time was right for the music to begin
You should been there when
That band of gypsies started rollin' in
You should seen it
You'da swore for sure the circus came to town
There were ladies ridin' bareback
And the mystery man
All painted like a clown
You should seen October
Feelin' Like I never felt before
Flashin' up New England skies
Like the fires of the revoluntionary war
You should heard the music comin' down
Like the hardest rain that ever fell
Wakin' up in the afternoons
With a hundred lovers
Feedin' in the same motel
Take me away take me away
Take me away
Take me away take me away
Take me away
Take me away take me away
Take me away
To the place where the greatest
Show on earth is playin'
High on your highway
You should seen me
I've been told
I had a smile upon my face
Slippin' from state to state
Endin' up in a drunken state of grace
It wasn't very long ago
I used to say
This kind of life is rough
You should been there
But I can tell you even
That was not enough
Take me away take me away
Take me away
Take me away take me away
Take me away
Take me away take me away
