Roger McGuinn Take Me Away written by Roger McGuinn Jacques Levy
You should have been there when the Time was right for the music to begin You shoulda been there when that band of gypsies started rolling 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
Waking 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 Take me away take me away take me away To the place where the greatest show on earth is playing High on your highway You shoulda seen me I've been told I had a smile upon my face Slippin from state to state ending up in a drunken state of grace It wasn't very long ago I used to say this kind of life is rough You shoulda 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 take me away Take me away take me away take me away
