Everybody Wants To Be Like You * The Plumb Song

The Plumb Song

As I travel down life's highways
Thinking of days gone by 
I'm a city man, but 
My heart yearns for secluded countryside 
In a place where no one's a stranger
Say hello and how are you 
Let the music play and in the middle of the day 
Smell the sweet morning dew 

La la la la la la la la 

There's no place that seems so far
Not on earth or amongst the stars 
I just close my eyes and dream 
If I can reach it by motor car 
Sit on top of the highest mountain
Feel I can touch the sky 
Then imagine I was a bird 
And I would spread my wings and fly 

La la la skiddly diddly whoa whoa 
Can't wait till tomorrow 

As I often look to the sun
As it meets the rising shore 
Seems I know this taste 
An unfamiliar place
But that face I've seen before 
April showers bring May flowers
So let the rain come down 
Will all this end
Well that all depends 
I wish my friends could see me now

Everybody Wants To Be Like You

Girl comes home, checks her phone (Checks her phone)
She fools herself that she's not alone (Alone)
But everybody wants to be like you (Like you)
When it all boils down, and all this ends (All this ends)
You turn around, and you got no friends (No friends)
But everybody wants to be like you (Like you)

And I would really hate to be her
Think they love her when they see her
When she's gone she just don't know what they say
She in Hell in all that drama
It was passed down by her mama
And her daddy he would only drink wine
Only if she came around
But she's slowly going down

Girl comes home, checks her phone (Checks her phone)
She fools herself that she's not alone (Alone)
But everybody wants to be like you (Like you)
When it all boils down, and all this ends (All this ends)
You turn around, and you got no friends (No friends)
But everybody wants to be like you (Like you)

She looked out when I ordered
And nobody ever told her
You would never know that she was 16
As far as I remember, she was standing on the corner
Just the type that loved to be underseen
Only if she came around
But she's slowly coming down (Down) (Down)

Girl comes home, checks her phone (Checks her phone)
She fools herself that she's not alone (Alone)
But everybody wants to be like you (Like you)
When it all boils down, and all this ends (All this ends)
You turn around, and you got no friends (No friends)
But everybody wants to be like you (Like you)

And if you want it, and you need it
And you wanna go out and get it

(And if you want it) Girl comes home
(And you need it) Checks her phone (Checks her phone)
(And you wanna go out and get it)
She fools herself that she's not alone (Alone)
But everybody wants to be like you (Like you)
When it all boils down, and all this ends (All this ends)
You turn around, and you got no friends (No friends)
But everybody wants to be like you (Like you)

Girl comes home, checks her phone (Checks her phone)
She fools herself that she's not alone (Alone)
But everybody wants to be like you (Like you)
When it all boils down, and all this ends (All this ends)
You turn around, and you got no friends (No friends)
But everybody wants to be like you (Like you)

Girl comes home, checks her phone (Checks her phone)
She fools herself that she's not alone (Alone)
But everybody wants to be like you (Like you)
(All this ends)(No friends)
But everybody wants to be like you (Like you)

(Checks her phone) (Alone) (Like you)
(All this ends) (No friends) (Like you)
