Its painful to realize, Ive been on the back. Ive been hypnotized a while. Troubled by the stack of untraveled miles. I found out too little, I found out too late.
Baby's gonna change her life. She's made up her mind. She leaving her girls behind. And her lovers unkind. . Crazy Mary, look back and you're done. Just hold on and run.
Shakin 'em down and drunk on a holiday. Dishin' them 'lectric blues in an old school way. Lucy and Glenda Jones in an Old beef bone. Drinkin' that whiskey juice till they're all alone.
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on. . Pick up your knee and your steep side. The river is deep and running all night.
I should have known better. I should have known better. I didn't know better. . How can you be so, so [Incomprehensible]. How can you be so, so uptight.
Woke up this morning in a bed, in a bed of fire. People and buildings in my head burning there tonight. Tonight as I lay sleeping, I try to hold your hand.
You got love in the cashbox, baby. Now give it to me. Diamonds on the dresser. Bring em on here you see. . Didnt your momma tell you. Its better to give than to receive.
And all of these chains, a sweet caress. And all of my weight was tenderness. Every time we had it put to bed. Oh, the tables are turning 'round and I'm in it again.
