you can roll me if i'm blind you can roll me, roll me, roll me i'm the easy rolling kind but the thing we've faced down hill there's something new to see you can lose your grip and slip but you don't got a hold on me
you don't got a hold on me you don't got a hold on me why don't you let me be, babe why don't you let me be
you can take me to your bedroom you can take me to your heart you can take me up to the hill but I won't fall apart but don't count on me giving this all back to you just because i'm hooked on living don't mean I'm hooked on you
you ain't got a hold on me, babe you don't got a hold on me why don't you let me be, babe why don't you let me be why don't you let me be you don't got a hold on me
Doesn't take much time to pass by me Minutes into days, turn into months Turn into years, they hurry by me But still I love to see the sun go down And the world go around
Dreams full of promises Hopes for the future, I've had many Dreams I can't remember now Hopes that I've forgotten, faded memories But still I love to see the sun go down And the world go around
And I love to see the morning as it steals across the sky I love to remember and I love to wonder why And I hope that I'm around so I can be there when I die When I'm gone
I hope that you will think of me In moments when you're happy and you're smiling That the thought will comfort you On cold and cloudy days if you are crying And that you'll love to see the sun go down And the world go around And around and around
and there was trouble brewing in my home town it was the seventh day, i felt like satan's son and i scared the ghost out of everyone
they said stop and i said go they said yes and i said no they said fast and i said slow
being bad ain't so bad i've known more pretty women than most men had so won't you all come along with me and i'll show you how fun that bad can be
they said right and i said left they said east and i said west oh, they said up and i said down
i tell you a story, it ain't no lie i was born to love 'til the day I die so you can line 'em up, i'll knock 'em down 'till they all come tumbling, tumbling down
they said up and i said down they said sleep but i roam oh, they said lost and i said found
I grew so old in that house I lived in They brought me here 'cause I can't take care I lost my worth and my purpose here I feel you cry, but I can't speak my mind Will you hold me and never let me go? 'Cause I hated when you walk outside that door 'Cause I know I won't ever see your eyes The eyes I gave you
When my eyes shut, they'll take me to the land For fifty years I lived there with my man And on my own, I lived for forty more I watched you grow up from babies on the floor To the beautiful women that you are And I hated that you've gone away so far 'Cause I know I won't ever see those eyes The eyes I gave you
The evenings fall, they'll drag me out the hall Up to my bunk and drug me 'til I'm numb But pass the haze, I see your pretty face Remember me when I'm gone You know I love you, though I can hardly say And I hate it when you see me in this way But in darkness, I'll always see those eyes The eyes I gave you
Doesn't take much time to pass by me Minutes into days, turn into months Turn into years, they hurry by me But still I love to see the sun go down And the world go around
Dreams full of promises Hopes for the future, I've had many Dreams I can't remember now Hopes that I've forgotten, faded memories But still I love to see the sun go down And the world go around
And I love to see the morning as it steals across the sky I love to remember and I love to wonder why And I hope that I'm around so I can be there when I die When I'm gone
I hope that you will think of me In moments when you're happy and you're smiling That the thought will comfort you On cold and cloudy days if you are crying And that you'll love to see the sun go down And the world go around And around and around
up to my neck in strife up to my neck in misery for most of my life i've been a fool and you know what a fool can do
you came around when I needed you now I'm up to my neck in you
up to my neck in pleasure up to my neck in pain up to my neck on a railroad track waitin' for the trains to come on through oh, you knew my time was due
you came around and you pulled me through now I'm up to my neck in you
up to my neck in whiskey up to my neck in wine up to my neck in wishing that this life wasn't mine what can I do oh, what can I do
you did what no one else would do now I'm up to my neck in you
Come out from the burning fire butterfly Let me lock you in my room and keep you For a while Could you be the answer to my every prayer? Could you be the one for who I care?
Come into my arms and let your worries die Come out from the web of all your tangles lies But be true to me and I'll be true to you Judge me not for what I've done but what I'll do
A million nights have led To this one that we are spending And I know it's better here Than anywhere I've been going With every morning grew A void more wide and endless
Come out from the burning fire butterfly Let me lock you in my room and keep you For a while You watch over me and I'll watch over you And if you go tomorrow choke me 'till I'm blue
A thousand days have passed In this house she and I were sharing And I hate myself for it But I have stopped caring The Marilyn sky tonight Is so black and blue and beautiful
