Line ’Em Up - Live at the Colonial Theatre James Taylor

I remember Richard Nixon back in '74
And the final scene at the White House door
And the staff lined up to say good-bye
Tiny tear in his shifty little eye
He said, "nobody knows me, nobody understands
These little people were good to me
I'm gonna shake some hands."

Somebody line 'em up, line 'em all up
Line 'em up, line 'em all up
Somebody line 'em up, line 'em all up
Line 'em up, line 'em all up

At that time my heart was all broke
I looked like ashes and smelled like smoke
And I turned away from my loving kind
Try to leave my body and live in my mind
But it's much too much emotion to hold it in your hand
They've got waves out on the ocean
They've got to wear away the land

Somebody line 'em up, line 'em all up
Line 'em up, line 'em all up
Want you to line 'em up, line 'em all up
Line 'em up, line 'em all up
