DON'T TELL ME NO song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

Way back, back in 1968
I was touched by the hand of fate
thrown into space out beyond the far
flying on my telecaster guitar

Out in the streets
cities began to burn
I had to wait and wait and wait
until it was my turn

don't tell me no
don't tell me no

Up on the stage
my fingers felt the rage
I stood with my back to the band
when the solo began

I started soft and low
deep in the heart below
building up the tower
feeling the ultimate power

don't tell me no
don't tell me no

The band slipped away
watching from the edge of the stage
while the rhythm guitar
let me capture the star

And as I soared
the crowd wanted more more more
so I let go
lost all conscious control

don't tell me no
don't tell me no

And through the strings
I made the angels sing
I made them bleed
all that I need

Nobody tried
to stop me as I cried
out beyond fear
face full of tears

The people stood
as if they could not move
I did all that I could
I had something to prove

Was this a dream?
Was this more than it seemed?
Not so deep as a well
but twill serve as the opposite of Hell

don't tell me no
don't tell me no

I didn't know
how far I could go
how it was I could be
inside of a sound so wild and so free

And I didn't know when
I could ever go this far again
didn't want it to end
didn't want it to end

don't tell me no
don't tell me no
