There's aluminum cans and cigarettes butts. Lyin' in the sides of the streets. The baseball field in the County Park. Is buried in a blanket of weeds.
She's feeling like a new man tonight she's wanting someone else to hold her tight. I can see her eyes all wandering and she has someone in sight. She's feeling like a new man tonight.
Her hair should be a little darker and her eyes should be a deeper blue. She's not perfect but I'm happy I found her. Cause she's as close as I can get to loving you.
She goes walking through my mind. I've tried to drive away her memory but each night it comes back to torture me. Cause once again there she is right on time.
All my life I've wanted just one friend I've trusted people time and time again. But one bitter lesson I have found I have just one friend when the chips were down.
Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home. Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home. . I looked over Jordan and what did I see.
You told me that your love was true. Sweetheart, I thought the world of you. But now you left me all alone. I have no one to call my own. . Now sweetheart, you've done me wrong.
Who makes me forget all the other girls I've met. Sweet little miss blue eyes. Who's sweeter to me that she really ought to be. Sweet little miss blue eyes.
Summertime is past and gone and I'm on my way back home. To see the only one I ever loved. Now the moon is shining bright, it lights my pathway tonight.
Sugar coated love, you gave me on a plate. I took a bite and then I looked to see what I had ate. I found I had a cinder all covered up in white. That old sugar coated love is something I can't bite.
Stay away from me, you're causing me trouble. It's been that way, since from the start. Go on your way, you have another waiting. Stay away from me, you're breaking my heart.
Where is the love that you promised 'neath the pine?. Gone like the flowers in the fall. You crossed your heart, now you're double crossing mine. You've been pretending after all.
I'm leavin' you to worry you off my mind. Lord, I'm leavin' you to worry you off my mind. 'Cause you keep me worried troubled. Troubled all the time. .
It was in the spring one sunny day. My good gal left me Lord she went away. . And now she's gone but I don't worry. 'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world.
Sitting alone in the moonlight. Thinking of the days gone by. Wondering about my darling. I can still hear her saying goodbye. . Oh, the moon grows pale as I sit here.
Sitting alone in the moonlight. Thinking of the days gone by. Wondering about my darling. I can still hear her saying goodbye. . Oh, the moon grows pale as I sit here.
Listen to that rain a-falling. Can'nt you hear that lonesome sound?. My poor old heart is breaking. Since my sweet love ain't around.. . Lord I think I start to ramble.
When you reach that golden city. (Golden city). Friends and loved ones you shall see. (You shall see). When the saints come out to meet you. (Out to meet you).
