Byrds Dr.Byrds&Mr.Hyde Lyrics
1.This Wheel's On Fire

Words:bob dylan
Music:rick danko

If your memory serves you well
We were going to meet again and wait
So i'm going to unpack all my things
And sit before it gets too late
No man alive will comfort you
With another tale to tell
But you know that we shall meet again
If your memory serves you well
This wheel's on fire
Rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode

If your memory serves you well
I was going to confiscate your lace
And wrap it up in a sailor's knot
And hide it in your case
If i knew for sure that it was yours
But it was oh so hard to tell
But you knew that we would meet again
If your memory serves you well
This wheel's on fire
Rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode

If your memory serves you well
You'll remember you're the one
That called on them to call on him
To get your favors done
And after every plan had failed
And there was nothing more to tell
You knew that we would meet again
If your memory serves you well
This wheel's on fire
Rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode


2.Drug Store Truck Drivin Man

Written:roger mcguinn and gram parsons

He's a drug store truck drivin man
He's a head of the ku klux klan
When summer rolls around
He'll be lucky if he's not in town

Well he's got him a house on the hill
He plays country records till you've had your fill
He's a fireman's friend, he's an all night dj
But he sure does think different from the records he plays

He's a drug store truck drivin man
He's a head of the ku klux klan
When summer rolls around
He'll be lucky if he's not in town

Well he don't like the young folks i know
He told me one night on his radio show
He's got him a medal he won in the war
Weighs five hundred pounds and sleeps on his floor

He's a drug store truck drivin man
He's a head of the ku klux klan
When summer rolls around
He'll be lucky if he's not in town

He's been like a father to me
He's the only dj you can hear after three
I'm an all night musician in a rock 'n' roll band
And why he don't like me, i can't understand

He's a drug store truck drivin man
He's a head of the ku klux klan
When summer rolls around
He'll be lucky if he's not in town


3.Old Blue

Traditional, arranged and adapted by roger mcguinn

Well i had an old dog and his name was blue
Yes, i had an old dog and his name was blue
Well i had an old dog and his name was blue
Bet ya five dollars he's a good dog too

Old blue chased a possum up a holler (hollow) limb
Blue chased a possum up a holler limb
Blue chased a possum up a holler limb
The possum growled, blue whined at him

Bye bye blue
You good dog you
Bye bye blue
You good dog you

When old blue died he died so hard
He shook the ground in my back yard
We lowered him down with a golden chain
And every link we called his name

Bye bye blue you good dog you
Bye bye blue
You good dog you

My old blue he was a good old hound
You'd hear him hollering miles around
When i get to heaven first thing i'll do
I'll grab my horn and call for blue

Bye bye blue
You good dog you
Bye bye blue
You good dog you


4.Child Of The Universe

Written:dave gruisin and roger mcguinn

Love for anyone who needs her
Innocence is all that feeds her
Rolling through the mist
Floating in a sea of madness
Reaching for the heights of gladness
Or did she exist?

Swirling ions from the stars
Streaming down onto the earth
From a galaxy like ours
Manifested in her birth
Child of the universe
Giving freely of herself
Purity of truth rehearse
Leaving man her cosmic well

Love for anyone who needs her
Innocence is all that feeds her
Rolling through the mist
Floating in a sea of madness
Reaching for the heights of gladness
Or did she exist?

Vision of an untouched grace
Walking gaily through the sun
No one else could take her place
Nor the work that she'd begun

Love for anyone who needs her
Innocence is all that feeds her
Rolling through the mist
Knowing what is understanding
Patience that is undemanding
Or did she exist?
Or did she exist?
Or did she exist?


5.Candy

Written:roger mcguinn and john york

Drifted in school, daddy's a fool
We know someone's on your mind
Women whose phase??(face?), velvet and lace
Curling couplets into time and space
Meet the man who needs you now
Can you give your love away like candy?
Down on your knees, trimming the trees
Can you imagine what it's like
Lovers lament, general dissent
Doctor's orders are unkind, and bent
Meet the man who needs you now
Can you give your love away like candy?
Very profound, merry-go-round
Spinning innocence and dreams
Can you believe, all you perceive
Love is never what it seemed to be
Meet the man who needs you now
Can you give your love away like candy?
