Lyrics:
and misery
Feathers of my wings paralyzed by the distance of my mind
Here I stand before you, the color of the night
Frozen by the potential of me
love you, goodbye
Took a lot of wrong turns on the road
Finding his life
By the grace of God he ended up
With a little boy and a wife
whose death and blood consecrated these places. Rainey's mother said, "Rainey stay at my side, for you are my blessing you are my pride. It's your love
tidings of my son Ted.
Is the poor boy livin' or is he dead?"
Now up comes Ted without any legs
And in their place there were two wooden pegs
She
feeling awful sorry for myself!
Poor me, I'm just another blues.
Then someone got the notion that I could revive,
He took away my sadnes and he gave me
'd watch his sons play the game he loved
He would tell us lots of stories
Of heroes and glories
And the pride of the Wembley Wizards on Busby Babes
His
the room began to fog
Then a fine lookin' woman walked by
Looked me in the eye
Heaved a sigh and took me by surprise
I said sit down and take your place
to go
Keep on rolling, my old buddy
You're moving much too slow
I just jumped the watchman
Right outside the fence
Took his ring, four bucks in
to go
Keep on rolling, my old buddy
You're moving much too slow
I just jumped the watchman
Right outside the fence
Took his ring, four bucks in
my place again,
Giving me back my hope then
Letting me know that he's an old friend
I don't suffer no fools, I testify
But he must be one for
the dark
And his true love was slain as the shaft found its mark
She'd her apron wrapped about her and he took her for a swan
But it's oh and alas it
It's just my foolish pride
But sometimes a man must be alone
And this is no place to hide
Well, Judas, he just winked and said
All right, I'll leave you
he smiled
It seemed as though with pride
The wind kissed him goodbye
And then he died
Yeah I've left the world behind
I'm safe here in my mind
the preacher's face
He hit that Reverend like a kick of a mule
And to my way of thinkin' it took a real fool
To turn the other face to that lumber jack
But that's
made you brave and it gave you heart
Brothers and sisters by your side
You worked so hard that the earth took pride
It gave you sage, wild thyme and rue
he smiled
It seemed as though with pride
The wind kissed him goodbye
And then he died
Yeah I've left the world behind
I'm safe here in my mind
Let me begin by telling you
Something that happened turned my head around
I took a walk on a cloudy day
I met a friend, this is what he said
What's the worst they could do to a nigga? Got me lost in hell
To live and die in LA on bail
(My angel sing) to live and die in L.A.
Is the place
I took a ride in a limousine,
I took a road I'd never been.
I met a stranger by the way,
His coat was torn but his eyes were clear.
Standing in
the river
Two hearts suspended in space
And there so high over the river
A miracle took place
I bow my head in silent prayer
And thank Him for the love
But he's talking about, "I wanna see you deceased"
No doubt, to live and die in LA
California, what you say about Los Angeles
Still the only place
"This child is my pride and joy"
"I'm busy running wild and free"
"Make sure he grows up like me"
And I'm a vagabond
Blue eyes, oh baby blue, oh
nothin' but a funny funny riddle
Thank God I'm a country boy
Well, my fiddle was my daddy's 'til the day he died
And he took me by the hand, held me
the white man did
Nor the deal or the way that he lied
There was blood on the floor of the government store
When the men took his daddy away
But the boy
Discuss these he took my place by charley pride Lyrics with the community:
