Mud In Your Eye Lyrics - Face The Music Tour - Nils Lofgren

You used to leave your scent 

On his whiskey soaked collar 

You both would paint the town 

Drink up his very last dollar 

And then you loved him for fun 

And rode away when it was done 

Now he? s confused and I know why 

Ain? t that mud in your eye? 

Ain? t like rain? 

Remember lively little Richard 

But his men were painting town 

You were in need of attention

So he thought he? d take you on down 

And there you first saw me 

And realized you were no longer free 

'Cause true love good girls can? t deny 

It comes and goes like mud in you? re eye 

Sometimes a victim can run 

But not when both have been? von 

And I ain? t no stranger 

I built you up to shoot you down 

Once you could thrill me 

Now I? m the jury 

And you? ll be a cinch to convict 

Your boy? s gonna make the great escape 

Photos 

While you're laid bare on the ground 

This vengeance had to and in crime 

I built you up and shoot you down 

You know I? m not usually that kind 

But you didn? t know he was a brother of mine 

But I? ll just laugh if you cry 

Now ain? t that mud in your eye
