beastie boys — pass the mic
check your head, 1992

the monkees — hollywood

recorded may 29, 1968; rca studios, nashville.

the sun that’s falling from the southwestern sky
tells me that i must depart
so by sundown today
i’ll be on my way
but i’ll be leavin’ my heart

it’s not the countryside that appealed to my eyes
it’s the spirit; and it captured my mind
but the things i tried to be
made a wreck out of me
now a different road i must find

these things i think are new
i guess they’re really old
it seems i’ve done ‘em once before
now to go back to that fork in the road
takes all the strength of my soul and more

oh goodbye, goodbye, you cruel town
you’ve been a fairweather friend
now i will go to some places that i know
where things don’t start just to end

these things i think are new
i guess they’re really old
it seems that i’ve done ‘em once before
now to go back to that fork in the road
takes all the strength of my soul and more

oh goodbye, good-goodbye, you cruel town
you’ve been a fairweather friend
now i will go to some place that i know
where things don’t start just to end
