Oh Yea Lyrics - Poco

(R. Furay/J. Messina) 

Bein' at most just a country boy innocent and all 

I turned my face away from the farm, on the city I would call 

Hey, what's doin' in the town of fortune and fame? 

Bright lights a-glowin', I've come to make my name 

You see I've got my ol' guitar, I'm not a beggin' fool 

I play this town and a thousand more (God knows) 

God knows I keep my cool 

So what's a missin'? I've given my word the best 

And I'm downright grateful, for Oh Yeah, my life's been blessed 

CHORUS 

My my, can't you see the warnin' 

When the fires burn in hell you better pay 

Oh Yeah it's gonna get you in the mornin' 

Now's your chance you better get away 

Stayed awake 'most all last night, just couldn't get to sleep 

So many things sittin' on my brain, yes, I need a chance to think 

But I've been told not to worry, everything's gonna be all right 

Oh, mama, won't you tell me, why did I leave that night? 

Seems like it's been ages ago now since I come to town 

Ain't much changed, every face is the same 

Oh, people just a-hangin' round 

So I'm a-leavin' this mornin', gonna go back home today 

And let me tell you, buddy, turn around if you're fixin' to stay 

You better go on back today 

My my, can't you see the warnin' 

When the fires burn in hell you better pay 

Oh Yeah it's gonna get you in the mornin' 

Now's your chance you better get away 

My my, can't you see the warnin' 

When the fires burn in hell you better pay 

Oh Yeah it's gonna get you in the mornin' 

Now's your chance you better get away
