GJim Morrison, CMiami County GPrison,
Clookin' out the Gwindow at the Dbarbed wire fence
GSinging "This ain't for me, Cthis rock and roll Gscene.
CI should be Gwriting poetry on a Dfarm out in France.
[Chorus]
CCause I can't see through the Gdarkness. I can't Cfeel no Gpain.
Seems you Close your Gspark when you Dachieve your fame.
CI could Gstart it all over, I Dcould Emescape.
If CI could only make Git to C2G8
If CI could only make Git to C2G8.
[Verse]
GJanis Joplin, Cone foot in the Gcoffin.
CLeft that field Ga-rockin' as she walked on oDut the door.
She put her Ghead in her hands, she said "I've Cgiven all I Gcan.
I Cdrain myself for these Gfans. I ain't never Dbeen this dry before.
[Chorus]
CBut Imma move out of this GChelsea Hotel, stop Cdrinking all the Gtime.
Stop Cblowin' Leonard GCohen and listening to him Dwhine.
Cause I Cknow I am Gbeautiful, I will Dprove it Emsomeday.
If CI could only make Git to C2G8.
If CI could only make Git to C2G8.
[Verse]
GAnd Kurt Cobain sat in his Cshed in the Grain,
Cstomach full of Gpain, Deyes growin' dark.
He said "I'm Glosing control. I oughta Cmove down to San FranciGsco,
light Ccandles at all of my Gshows and switch to Dacoustic guitars.
[Chorus]
CCause this world Gdon't need no more Ctension and Ghate.
Needs a Creason for these Gkids to stand up and Dcreate.
And I could Cpull this Gtrigger, or I Dcould just walk Emaway,
if CI could only make Git to C2G8.
If CI could only make Git to C2G8.
If CI could only make Git
If CI could only make Git.
