Oh, darlin', you got the love I need
Baby, more than enough
Oh, darling, darling, darling
Walk a while with me
Ohh, you've got so much, so much, oh so much

Many times I've loved, and many times been bitten
Many times I've gazed along the open road

Many times I've lied, and many times I've listened
Many times I've wondered how much there is to know

Many dreams come true, and some have silver linings
I live for my dream and a pocket full of gold
Acapulco gold, ooo, acapulco gold

[Guitar solo]
Rock on
Rock it, rock it

Mellow is the man who knows what he's been missing
Many, many mеn can't see the open road
I can't

Many is a word that always leavеs you guessing
Guessing 'bout a thing you really ought to know
You really ought to know, oh
You really ought to know, oh ooooh yeah
