Broke down on a back road
Can't find no cover anywhere I go
I need the comfort of a girl I know
From back in my hometown
One line mama, one kiss
How you gonna stand there, don't you do me like this
You got the bullets that don't ever miss
They lay me on the ground
I want to see you in the light
I'm gonna keep you in my sight
Till the light comes
My friends don't know me
They cook me in the fire in the third degree
I ain't nothing like I used to be
Lord I'm sinking down
Swing wide mama, swing low
Come on love me baby before I have to go
You got the whip, baby I got to roll
Unless I want to drown
I want to see you in the light
I'm gonna keep you in my sight
Till the light comes
Oh and I want to see you in the light
Oh and I'm gonna keep you in my sight
Till the light comes
How can I get closer to you
What am I to do
Only thing I ask of you
How can I get closer to you
What am I to do
Only thing I ask of you
