This week we have two songs for the blog. First up we're gonna take a "magic ride" in the way back machine to 1968. The second song for the week comes from my niece. Spent the day with her and she was singing Last Dollar, also known as Fly Away by Tim McGraw all afternoon and now it's stuck in my head!

First up tonight

Magic Carpet Ride ~~ by Steppenwolf

I like to dream yes, yes, right between my sound machine
On a cloud of sound I drift in the night
Any place it goes is right
Goes far, flies near, to the stars away from here

Well, you don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
You don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
Close your eyes girl Look inside girl
Let the sound take you away

Last night I held Aladdin's lamp
And so I wished that I could stay
Before the thing could answer me
Well, someone came and took the lamp away
I looked around, a lousy candle's all I found

Well, you don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
Well, you don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
Close your eyes girl
Look inside girl
Let the sound take you away

Song #2 goes out to my niece because it's one of her fav's and she likes to run around singing the HaHaHaHa, HaHaHaHa part.

Last Dollar(Fly Away) ~~ by Tim McGraw

1-2-3 Like a bird I sing
Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings
I'm so glad you're here today
Cause tomorrow I might have to go and fly away
Hey!

I'm down to my last dollar
I've walked right through my shoes
Just a small reminder of the hell that I've gone through
But look at me still smiling
As I'm wondering what I'll do
Since I ain't got nothing
I've got nothing to lose
Everybody say "HaHaHaHa, HaHaHaHa"
My friends are always giving me
Watches, hats, and wine
That's how I know this is serious
That's how I know it's time
I don't have to worry
About things that I don't have
Cause if I ain't got nothing
I've got nothing to hold me back

1-2-3 Like a bird I sing
Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings
I'm so glad you're here today
Cause tomorrow I might have to go and fly away
Fly away, fly away

There's nothing that's worth keeping me
From places I should go
From happyville to lovingland
I'm gonna tour from coast to coast
I'm leaving everything behind
There's not much that I need
Cause If I ain't got nothing
I'm footloose and fancy free

Look at me so free
Nothings holding me down(down)
Look at me so free
Can't keep my feet on the ground

1-2-3 Like a bird I sing
Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings
I'm so glad you're here today
Cause tomorrow I might have to go and
1-2-3 Like a bird I sing
Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings
I'm so glad you're here today
Cause tomorrow I might have to go and fly away
Fly away, Fly Away, Fly away, Fly away
Fly

1-2-3 Like a bird I sing
Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings

1-2-3 Like a bird I sing
Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings

1-2-3 Like a bird I sing
Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings

1-2-3 Like a bird I sing
Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings

Enjoy, and if you know the words... Sing along!
