I know he was cruel to you. He kept you down. He never heard the voice inside you. Never heard the sound. Of angels singing you know they are around. They look just like you their tears fall to the ground.
I remember way back when I was a little boy. Didn't ride my bike, didn't play with toys. Wore the needle out on Dad's Hi-Fi. Trying to play along with all his 45s.
Mississippi rain comin' down on me. Thirty more miles I'm back in Tennessee. I keep watchin' that clock but the hands don't move. The road gets longer the closer I get to you.
By now she's putting on her makeup. Bet she's been crying all night long. By now her heart is surely breaking. Just like this cold gray Georgia dawn. .
[Chorus:]. Oh Carmelita why you been gone so long. I've been sittin' here starin' out the window. Huggin' on the telephone. I've been searchin' my mind tryin' hard to find.
The crowd is getting restless. It's smoky loud and hot. The band is heatin' up and giving everything they've got. Somebody check the exts. In case a fire breaks out.

As long as the ferris wheel spins 'round. Makin' the night bright as day. I know our love will shine about. And keep the darkness at bay. . I know you'll see the man you love.
I didn't mean to stumble and I didn't mean to fall. But it's hard to keep your balance when your running into walls. But there's an explanation baby for the situation I'm in.
Did you ever wake up in the middle of the night. And wonder where you were. You need the one and only that can hold you tight. And reach for her, but she's not with you.
She walked up to the doorway. Of a mansion on the hill. Was a sign for sale by owner. Taped up on the windowsill. The man said let me tell you. A little about this place.
There's a suitcase, and a heartache,. She was thinkin' of leavin'. But she unpacks, and she goes back, to him.. . So he gets by, with a bad lie,. Cause in her mind, it's the last time,.
Blacktop's burning, heat waves rise. Pick up my shove, l put my back to the grind. Got another job in Flagstaff and this one's paid. . I work the freeway, the pays all right.
This morning if someone had asked if you're gone. I would've managed a smile and said we're still hanging on. But if they pressed me I could've honestly said I don't know.
There's a suitcase, and a heartache,. She was thinkin' of leavin'. But she unpacks, and she goes back, to him.. . So he gets by, with a bad lie,. Cause in her mind, it's the last time,.
I've got a cup of black coffee so I don't get lazy. I've got a rattle in the dashboard driving me crazy. And if I hit it with my fist it'll quit for a little while.
Why don't we take a little piece of summer sky,. Hang it on a tree.. For that's the way to start to make a pretty world,. For you and for me.. . And for the sun we'll take a lemon bright balloon,.
Your still the stars lose their glory. Your still the birds fail to sing. Yours til the end of life's story. My love to you dear, I'll bring. Your in the grey of December.
Hey! Hey! Hey!. I don't like walking around this old and empty house. So hold my hand, I'll walk with you, my dear. [Video version:] The stairs creak as you sleep, it's keeping me awake.
Rosalee will you settle down,. Our guests don't know that you're spinning out,. They're going to think you've lost your mind,. They can't see outside the lines.
