Shine It On Lyrics - David Allan Coe

Shine it on my man forget your troubles if you can 

I'll hold you till the down shine it on shine it on 

You've been too long on the road and you're ready to explode 

Come and lighten up your load shine it on 

We had love and not much more but dreams just for free 

We sure got lost there dad and mom and me 

He'd let me steer on the straitways as we drove from town to town 

We knew that daddy's Gypsy blood wouldn't let him settle down 

There were times he'd sit right down just plain hung his head 

But he'd always lift it up and smile whenever mama said 

Shine it on my man. 

Papa's gone but Lord his blood is running through my veins 

Mama's gone to find him so she can't ease my pain 

Another woman holds me now in a little different way 

Now I know why papa smiled when he heard my mama say 

Shine it on my man 

Shine it on my man
