(Yeah, just got _another_ digestifier :) DISCLAIMER: I'm kinda stupid and clueless and this is what I THINK he says. Also they changed the lyrics around all over the place so this is either before or after they changed it but there is another version floating around out there too. Gonna wave, gonna wave, gonna wave to the wind Gonna wave my way, my way on thru the wind Gonna wave, gonna wave, gonna wave to the wind (above 3 lines are Chorus) Gonna wave my way to places that I never have been Gonna wave to the people that I see at the side of the road as i wander on by Wave goodbye to the trouble that's always on my mind Gonna jump start my life to go down flyin' Gonna wave to the memories I carry in my heart and the new ones I find along my way Gonna wave to the ???? that's east of the bay like a ??? or a dark bird of prey (?) CHORUS Gonna wave my way to the edge of the world and jump in Gonna wave to the thunder, the wind and the sea, When the lightening cries(?) out of the wind Gonna wave to the river that (gathers with the stream?) and the mountains that rise above the bay Wave farewell to the falsehoods that staked me to the ground for so long I forgot that i could fly Gonna wave to the sidewalk (I'm talkin' with my name??????) in the new(?) of the??? CHORUS Gonna wave my way from the ??? ???? in Gonna wave like a banner, ?? to the breeze and the ocean ?? to the ?? I can hold out forever just keepin' it together ???????(unintelligible line) Lift my voice for the young man ??? the war who was born on the forth of July Gonna stand and deliver ?? ?? ?? ?? to the high wide burnin' sky CHORUS To the stars in the sky, the ?? that ?? like a hill Gonna wave to the summer, where dreams were discovered, where ?? ??? to the end Gonna wave to the light at the close of the night turnin' out of the (dark fringe?) Casting hope to the hopeless, the helpless and the homeless, the soul of earth and ?? Gonna wave till my arm grows weary in the socket, gonna wave till I can't wave no more. CHORUS Gonna speak to the breeze, add my voice to the wind, Say "Oh say can you see by the dawn's early light screamin' in?" WHEW! As I said, this is one version, there is a different one out there too cause they revised it, this may be the old version. You also notice, there are still some lines I can't make out cause Phil needs to improve his Diction!!!! I'm sure many folks can improve on this, but I'd figure I'd give it a shot, lame as my attempt is. Scott has the new version and says the lyrics are good. I hope this helps at least a little bit!
