First thing I saw before I touched that ground Silver lining made me cry out loud Looked out my window at the clouds below Looks like heaven, inspiration for my show I can't recall when I ever felt so high Looking at that late sunset just fading in the sky Touched down in Memphis now with just time to k** Get me back on the bird back to Yazgur's hill I'm riding easy Where eagles fly I'm riding easy Through Texas skies
I hate the thought of leaving quiet walks by the stream Making me believe in southern skies, get me by Makes me wanna fly away Back to Chicago where we're greeted with a smile Speaking of skies, that silver lining gets me by Down on the street where I sure do pavement things Riding out on my two-wheel horse, staring up at the stars I'm riding easy Where eagles fly I'm riding easy Through Texas skies
