"Czar"

SUBJECT: Like Frank, John Denver had a desire to go to space. He offered $10 million to NASA and then the Soviet Space Agency for a ride in a space shuttle, but was denied. He also built a gas tank in his front yard in the 70's.

LYRICS:
Time / If he could travel time / He would have been on time / Instead of making rhyme / He didn't need a band / He was a mountain man / Oil / The national furmoil / And hiding in the soil / A singer and his spoil / A-just-a-singing thanks / I got my own gas tanks / And there's no time for the man / who has sung his bar / And there's no time / And there's no time for the man called Czar / Blue / Extraordinary blue / Ten million porthole views / They're saying on the news / The Russians just said no / You can't go / And there's no time for the man / who has sung his bar / And there's no time / And there's no time for the man called Czar

LIVE: yes, a lot in 93/94, and occasionally in the following years.

ACOUSTIC: yes.
