Lyrics:
kissed
By a red-headed girl with cherry lips
On her porch when I was sixteen
And I felt it somewhere in my soul, and time stood still, and I couldn't
of the system
Woman hold her head and cry
Comforting her, I was passing by and I
I saw the woman cry
She cried, oh, oh
Oh, oh, Johnny was a good man
He
When will we end this genocide?
And that's not right
Her children cry
No food to eat and her friends as flies
The color black means it's time to die
on the other side
Let go (Don't go)
Let her go (Don't go)
Lord I love her so
But my cry is just a whisper in the night
My cry is just a whisper in the night
I
that's in my eyes
How can I cry about something I can't see
My friends all say "She had her chance
Let's go shoot some pool"
You know a fool is
She didn't bat an eye, as I packed my bags to leave
I thought she would cry, or sit around my room and grieve
But oh the girl she fooled me this
the weight of all her fears
And the sorrow no one hears
Still rings in midnight's silence in, in her ears
Let her cry, she is a lady
Let her dream, she
of the system
Woman hold her head and cry
Comforting her, I was passing by and I
I saw the woman cry
She cried, oh, oh
Oh, oh, Johnny was a good man
He
the dust has blinded me
I kissed her on the cheek
And then I waved goodbye
She had the saddest look I've seen in years
A kangaroo cry
A warm pathetic
the eye, tryin not to cry
Tellin me that cancer might cause her to die
How could this be? I thought that God loved me
So why would He try to take my
let it pass you by
This innocence is brilliant
I hope that it will stay
This moment is perfect, please don't go away
I need you now and I'll hold
tonight
When we kissed goodnight she
Pulled away from me
(she had the nerve to pull away from me)
So I hid from sight
Out of sight by her door
I heard her
cry
I apologize a trillion times
My baby's drama mama, don't like me
She be doing things like having them
Boys come from her neighborhood
To the studio
went down to the railroad tracks
To watch that train roll by
99 cars screaming into the dark
I heard the lonesome whistle cry
With her name on my
"Is she really going out with him?
"Well, there she is, let's ask her"
"Betty, is that Jimmy's ring you're wearing?"
"Mmm-hmm"
"Gee, it must be
fine, I'll be fine)
If I get my way, I'mma take care of you
I can take her place, let me get my way, ooh
If you let me try, just one night, I can
Mary wants to be a superwoman
But is that really in her head
But I just want to live each day to love her
For what she is
Mary wants to be
Mary wants to be a superwoman
But is that really in her head
But I just want to live each day to love her for what she is
Mary wants to be
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, woah woah, ooh, no, no
Is there something on ya mind?
So what is it now? Won't you tell me why?
You don't just let her go?
If you love what you're doing keep on doing what you love
If you've got a good woman keep on telling her you love her
Don't let a day go by
landmarks that said I was there
Led to positions by stern faced leaders
Who never let one smile depart from their face
Then with an arm raise
Molly seen pearly gates
Held up by wheat
Can't expect to find heaven in Tennessee
Wedding gown, let him go
Eddie took the spring
Left leaves for
again
Look her in her eyes like, "You're mine"
That's no lie, uh
Come on, I'll take you where you need to go
Tell you whatever you need to know
not by her side
You only made her cry. you were her ride or die
Tears drippin down her eye, you were not by her side
She was 13 when she met you
She
