Song for the South

歌詞

VERSE Baby's livin' on from hand to mouth She's roamin' all alone in the deep, dark South Her eyes are tired An' she's been livin' with a brain full of sunset fire too long Babe, I wanna send this song to you I'm hopin' what I feel will ring on through I've seen the stars An' I can see 'em in a dream of where you are right now CHORUS Yes and time's gonna take me back (Yes and) time's gonna take me back Yes and time's gonna take me back to you VERSE Baby's got the only love I trust She's standin' in the rainy rust an' dust She's straight with me Baby's got my wild nighttime sea laid down Babe, I wanna get your hand in mine Let my little song be a screamin' sign You are the one An' I'll be hangin' on to the things we done . . . meanwhile BRIDGE This city here kicks an' rumbles Way on past the midnight hour There ain't nowhere to walk or run to get away The world and the work's before me I'm caught in the plans I made up I don't know when, but I'll be back to you someday (INSTRUMENTAL BREAK) VERSE Baby's wakin' up in the delta sun She's wakin' up to blues an' she's on the run That land is old An' it's haunted by a ghost in the chains of gold . . . blood chains Babe, I wanna cool you down for free I wanna do for you what you done for me Your eyes are tired An' you've been livin' with a brain full of sunset fire too long (REPEAT CHORUS) Steve Forbert Welk Music (ASCAP)/ Rolling Tide Music (ASCAP)
