| When I was a young boy
 My mama told me son
 You gotta keep it together
 You know you're the only one
 
 So I tried to see the sunshine
 And tried to feel the rain
 But I just couldn't get it together
 I was feelin' too much pain
 
 So I got myself a guitar
 When I was just a kid
 I played rock and roll music
 And I'm so glad I did
 
 'Cause now I see the sunshine
 And now I feel the rain
 And I just want to keep it together
 And hope you feel the same
 
 Now I see the sunshine
 And now I feel the rain
 And I just want to keep it together
 And hope you feel the same
 
 Now I jump in my covered wagon
 I'm movin' right along
 I'm a full fledged gypsy pilot
 I'm singin' you my song
 
 And I try to see the sunshine
 And I try to feel the rain
 And I just want to keep it together
 And I hope you feel the same
 
 When they claim my body
 They won't have much to say
 Except that he lived a good life
 He lived every day
 
 And I know he saw the sunshine
 And I know he felt the rain
 And he loved everybody
 And he hopes you'll do the same
