But I was desperate for a friend
I was getting used to making mistakes

Please don't play around with this heart of mine

Come here to me baby, come here to me now
I wanna talk to you, talk to you
And tell you somehow

I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge

Maybe if I tried, I could turn the other cheek
Maybe, but how big do I have to be

And the days went by like paper in the wind
Everything changed, then changed again

She said she was torn and turned around
"Can you help me cast this evil down?"

No longer will you be a slave
No longer will you have to crawl
No longer will you suffer
No longer will you stall
One day you'll live for a reason
One day you'll be gone, no more
When you walk from the table
No longer, will you bow down

I fear I've lost my way
I don't know how to say what I feel
Someone better hurry I'm all alone

Sweet chariots of L.A. swing low
At twilight time the smog makes a rainbow
So keep one eye on the weather
You had it good, you wanted better

The poison came in liquid
She was naked all the time
And no one could explain it
It was all between the lines
And I don't seem to trust anyone no more
It could be faith I'm just not sure

No it didn't hurt me
When she had to leave
She had a far away feeling
Wasn't part of me

Was it love that took you under?
Or did you know too much?
Was it something you could picture?
But never could quite touch?

In your eyes there was a freedom
I had never known before

What lies ahead, I have no way of knowing
But under my feet, baby, grass is growing

Well I been to Brooker and I been to Micanopy
I been to St. Louis too, I been all around the world

This might be over honey, it ain't through
Let me know when you're finished with me

I'm hurt and you won't let me in

I'm a hair trigger lover
And I can't face up to nothing
I'm impatient with the wind
But I'm waitin' here for somethin'

There was a little girl, I used to know her
I still think about her, time to time
There was a moment when I really loved her
Then one day the feeling just died

Everybody wants all the world can give 'em
Everybody wants to get all they can get
Everybody's waiting on somethin' that hasn't come yet

It's time to open your eyes
And rise and shine

Oh my love if I reveal
Every secret I've concealed
How many thoughts would you steal
How much of my pain would you feel

I can't do no disco dance
But I can sure love you baby if you give me a chance

Yeah I stood in the darkness stood all alone
Thank God for California thank God I'm going home

Baby you hold some strange control over me
Yeah it's so wild it hypnotizes me

I know your weakness, you've seen my dark side
The end of the rainbow is always a long ride

So much has gone by, don't know where to start
Well this one I'll keep here in my heart

Well I wish you kinda liked me, I wish you'd
Spare my pain - why do you want to destroy
Me baby? What did I do wrong?

Lately I get a faraway feeling
And the whole thing starts again

Good Luck Loves🙂
