Emmylou Harris When I Paint My Masterpiece
			
Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble 
Ancient footprints are everywhere 
You can almost think that you're seein' double 
On a cold, dark night on the Spanish Stairs 
Got to hurry on back to my hotel room 
Where I've got me a date with a pretty young boy from 
Greece 
He promised, he'd be there with me 
When I paint my masterpiece 
Oh, the hours we've spent inside the Coliseum 
Dodgin' lions and wastin' time 
Oh, those mighty kings of the jungle, I can hardly 
stand to see 'em 
Yes, it sure has been a long, hard climb 
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory 
When I ran on the hilltop following a pack of wild 
geese 
Someday, everything's gonna be smooth like a rhapsody 
When I paint my masterpiece 
Sailin' round the world in a dirty gondola 
Oh, to be back in the land of Coca Cola 
Well, I left Rome and landed in Brussels 
On a plane ride so bumpy that I almost cried 
Clergymen in uniform and young girls pullin' muscles 
Everyone was there to greet me when I stepped inside 
Newspapermen eating candy 
Had to be held down by big police 
Someday, everything is gonna be different 
When I paint my masterpiece 
Yes, someday, everything is gonna be different 
When I paint my masterpiece
