You may see me when i'm on the run. You may see me when i'm all undone. You may see me smoking a cigarette. You may see me and try to forget. But you won't forget.
I came back home with a jewel missing out of my crown. Let me inside, put my empty bags on the ground. Open this door, come on, I? m not messing around.
I believe you try. To read too much between the lines. And you wonder. Why I don? t separate my heart from my mind. . Broken down, let go. You always seem to be in the know.
O Lord, I think I'm falling to my disbelief. I'm cursing like a sailor and lying like a thief. It's hard to heed the calling from the better side of me.
I have seen what man can do. When the evil lives inside of you. Many are the weak and the strong are few. But with the water we'll start anew. Won't you take me down to the levy.
I have tried to find my way. To make it through to a better day. I have cried a mighty song. But in the morning everything was gone. . So come on water, sweet water, wash me down.
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up. Mr. Columbus, Mr. Columbus. Get up, get up, get up, get up. You gotta help us, you gotta help us. . Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up.

You got a baby pretty as Creole Queen. And my old man's got eyes of blue and green. But you took me dancing when our lovers weren't around. You called it losing time in the inbetween, oh.
You're running me ragged. I don't do the things i should. If the devil made a fire. You'd be the wood. . I've just got one question. Answer me if you could.
We got lost again. Drove to the end of a road. And a red aced man. Taught us to do what we're told. And on the 23rd night. Things ain't bad but things ain't right.
Yesterday he said my eyes. Were fading fast away. I said well what do you expect. You asked me not to stay and if it had all been for the best. I wouldn't feel this way.
Well there ain't no time to let that gun by shy babe. There ain't no time to live up to the lie babe. There ain't no time to let the well run dry babe.
I've forgotten the reasons for loving you. And I've forgotten the love that you gave. All the days on the run, sitting shotgun. All the things that I loved, all but one.
