Lyrics I Do Declare - Smokie
I
started
walkin'
Sunday
And
by
Monday
I
was
headin'
out
Along
that
freeway
line
Round
about
a
quarter
tonine
I
saw
a
Caddy
headin'
north
and
I
wa
gettintired
of
walkin'
So
I
pulled
him
over
to
the
side
Say
man
can
you
tell
me
where
I
can
find
Just
a
little
peace
of
mind
I'm
gettin'
tired
of
city
livin'
And
the
orders
I've
been
given
And
the
way
I
see
it
is
I
could
be
runnin'
Out
of
time
He
said
man
I've
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
fr
out
of
space
I
do
declare
I
want
to
take
you
there
I
do
declare
I
want
to
take
you
where
Where
the
people
live
without
it
Don't
concern
themselves
about
it
'Cos
they
know
they've
got
a
reason
And
they
ain't
about
to
leave
it
I
declare
I
want
to
take
you
where
Where
the
honeysuckle's
climbin'
And
there
ain't
no
sense
of
timin'
And
you'll
never
need
remindin'
Why
you
left
and
why
you
came
out
here
Clare
it
was
just
an
hour's
drive
away
Now
listen
close
to
everything
I
say
We
passed
through
the
city
limits
And
clare
what
lay
within
it
Was
enough
to
blow
your
mind
away
S
come
nclare
get
the
hell
out
of
there
They'll
shut
you
up
and
make
you
Tear
out
your
hait
So
don't
you
tell
me
maybe
'cos
you're
Tryin'
to
be
a
lady
They've
got
everything
we
ever
dreamed
We'd
ever
want
to
share
