Songtexte I Do Declare - Smokie

I started walking Sunday and by Monday
I was heading down a long and freeway line
'Round about quarter to nine
I saw a caddy heading north and I was getting tired of walking
So I pulled him over to the side
Hey man, can you tell me where I can find
Just a little peace of mind?
I'm getting tired of city living and all the love I'm giving
And the way I see it is I could be running out of time
He said man, got just the place
Where you and freedom come face to face
I know just how you feel
This place is unreal
You won't believe it when you see it, man, it's far out of space

I do declare I wanna take you there
I declare I wanna take you where
Where the people live without it
Don't concern themselves about it
'Cause they know they got a reason
And they ain't about to leave it
I declare I wanna take you there
I do declare I wanna take you where
Where the honeysuckle's climbing
And there ain't no sense in time-in'
And you'll never need reminding
Why you left and why you came out here

There it was just an hour's drive away
Now listen close to everything I say
We passed through the city limits and there
What lay within it was enough to blow your mind away
So come on, Clare, get the hell out of there
They'll shut you up and make you tear out your hair
So don't you tell me maybe
'Cause you're trying to be a lady
They got everything we ever dreamed we'd ever wanna share

I do declare I wanna take you there
Clare I wanna take you where
Where the people live without it
Don't concern themselves about it
'Cause they know they got a reason
And they ain't about to leave it
Clare I wanna take you there
I do declare I wanna take you where
Where the honeysuckle's climbing
And there ain't no sense in time-in'
And you'll never need reminding
Why you left and why you came out here

I do declare I wanna take you there
I declare I wanna take you there
Clare I wanna love ya
Clare I wanna make ya
Clare I wanna take you there
I do declare I wanna take you there
I declare I wanna take you there
Clare I wanna love ya
Clare I wanna make ya
Clare I wanna take you there
I do declare I wanna take you there
I declare I wanna take you there
