This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Tell 'em Marty, you got a word for it
Right here, oh, ooh, oh, look yonder comin'
Where? Where you comin' from?
Right over there boys, comin' down the railroad track
I said look-a-yonder comin', comin' down the railroad track
It's the Orange Blossom Special, bringin' my baby back
I'm goin' down to Florida, gonna get some sand in my shoes
Or maybe California, gotta lose there New York blues
Ride the Orange Blossom Special, now, lose these New York blues
One more time, this song is about a train, ya know
The Orange Blossom Special that used to run from Florida
Up the East Coast and around the East Coast in Virginia
Tater had a little hound dog one time
That played a little bit too close to the train track
And his luck ran out and the train got the hound dog by the tail
Cut his tail off, so Tater, tell 'em a little bit more about your hound dog
A-show 'em how he went, alright
Well, like you said, Marty, he just got to playin' around
A little bit to close to the railroad tracks
Cut about three inches of his tail off, boy, it did hurt
Though I don't know how it would feel but I'm sure it would hurt
He squalled out somethin' like this, he was just a little hound dog right
Really hurt him bad, he turned around about three flips
And took off up towards the house, up through the field there
Every step he was takin' he was a yakin' somethin' like this right here
Right here, oh, ooh, oh, look yonder comin'
Where? Where you comin' from?
Right over there boys, comin' down the railroad track
I said look-a-yonder comin', comin' down the railroad track
It's the Orange Blossom Special, bringin' my baby back
I'm goin' down to Florida, gonna get some sand in my shoes
Or maybe California, gotta lose there New York blues
Ride the Orange Blossom Special, now, lose these New York blues
One more time, this song is about a train, ya know
The Orange Blossom Special that used to run from Florida
Up the East Coast and around the East Coast in Virginia
Tater had a little hound dog one time
That played a little bit too close to the train track
And his luck ran out and the train got the hound dog by the tail
Cut his tail off, so Tater, tell 'em a little bit more about your hound dog
A-show 'em how he went, alright
Well, like you said, Marty, he just got to playin' around
A little bit to close to the railroad tracks
Cut about three inches of his tail off, boy, it did hurt
Though I don't know how it would feel but I'm sure it would hurt
He squalled out somethin' like this, he was just a little hound dog right
Really hurt him bad, he turned around about three flips
And took off up towards the house, up through the field there
Every step he was takin' he was a yakin' somethin' like this right here

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
