Rolling down the road, Going nowhere, Guitar packed in the trunk... Somewhere around mile marker 112, Papa started hummin' the funk... I gotta jones in my bones before we know, We were singing this melody... Stop the car pulled out the guitar, Halfway to New Orleans...
Said take me home... Take me home...
Could feel the sun about to rise, When I realized we had nothing to fear... It's just me and my daddy and a kid named Cope, Making music that nobody would hear... And then the sun let up and it split the night, Spillin' over our jubilee... Ten thousand cars by the side of the road, Groovin' far as the eye can see...
Said take me home... Take me home... Said take me home... Said take me home...
This Greyhound is delta bound mama, Baby boy finally found, Said this Greyhound is delta bound mama, Baby boy done finally found his way home... Said take me home...
Here we go, Hot damn you should have felt the groove, Like I was swimming in a sea of soul... The sun was rising and the day was hot, And we was all about to lose control... My daddy turned his face up towards the sky, And I knew that there was nothing to lose... I felt the crowd breathe in and I closed my eyes, And we disappeared into the groove...
Said take me home... Said take me home... Take me home... Said take me home...
Straight from the water... Straight from the water, children... (repeat) You don't know nothin' about this...
I think I feel like sleepin' in I won't woke up 'til Friday night The moment the weekend begins I'm packing up my ride and I'm leaving
[Chorus: x 2] When I get there You better be ready to rocksteady
I think I feel like sleepin' in Last night was crazy outta sight After my rest the fun begins I'm packing up my ride and I'm leaving Headed straight towards your door
[Chorus] First the song begins You start movin' and I get caught up in the rhythm of your hips And I just can't wait to take this party home
When we get there You better be ready to rocksteady
There's a soft sweet space on the back of your neck Smells like rain There's a way you look at me baby Heals my pain
I've studied every inch of your body Baby what's on your mind The touch of your skin just pulls me in Every single time
There's a silent conversation Filled with hidden revelations in your eyes
<i>[Chorus]</i> Baby I'm so into you Every whisper from your soul to my heart Baby I know its true You're a sweet little mystery sent to me from the stars And that's the beauty of who you are
There's a faith you're savin' for a rainy day I could use right now There's a way you move my soul to sing Only you know how You are a sensual salvation You're the holiest temptation Baby I'm never, never, never gonna be the same
<i>[Chorus]</i>
I can't explain it or begin to conceive All I know is that you make me believe
You know the summer time is gone now All the leaves are on the ground Everything is turning Stuck in a rut
You know another year is over Add another candle to the cake I ain`t getting any younger no, no, no Stuck in a rut And only you could get me out of this place
Save me Give me what I need I know you can break these chains And set me free Save me Give me what I need I know you can break these chains And set me free Set me free
You know the wintertime is here now And my poor heart is freezing up Keep, keep the fire burning, baby Stuck in a rut And only you can melt the pain away
Wishing you were here `Cause I can`t hold on calm me down when I lie awake All night long
You know the summer time is gone now And my poor heart is freezing up
My life was black and white until you came around So baby come around, keep on comin' around I didn't know wrong from right, til' you came around So baby come around, please keep comin' around
[B Section] There is nothing like the light of you You amaze me with the things you do I'll do anything you want me to Don't ever leave me alone
[Chorus] Baby you can use me any way that you enjoy You know how to groove m I'm dancing like a little boy You do something to me I just want to lay you down Any time of place so come around
My life was full of doubt til' you came around So baby come around, keep on comin' around I'd never been so turned out until you came around So baby come around, please keep coming around
There are times I swear I know you're here I forget about my fears Feelin' you my dear
Watchin' over me My hope sees What the future will bring When you wrap your wings And take me where you are Where you and I will be together Once again, we'll be dancin' in the moonlight Just like we used to do And you'll be smilin' back at me Only then will I be free When I can be, where you are
And I can see your face Your kiss I still can taste Not a memory erased
Oh, how I see your star Shinin' down on me And I'd do anything If I could just, be right there where you are
Where you and I will breathe together Once again we'll be dancin' in the moonlight Just like we used to do And you'll be smilin' back at me (you'll be smilin' back at me)
Only then will I be free Then I will be free, so take me where you are
Now baby there are times when selfishly I wishin' that you were here with me So I can wipe the tears from your eyes and make you see
That every night when you are dreamin' I'm here to guard you from afar And anytime I feel in love I'll close my eyes and dream of where you are
Where you are
Where you and I will breathe together Once again we'll be dancin' in the moonlight Just like we used to do And you'll be smilin' back at me (you'll be smilin' back at me)
Only then will I be free Then I will be free,
Baby I still believe Oh I gotta believe I still believe I will touch you that sweet day
That you take me there Where you are (where you are) I still believe Whoa, I gotta believe I still believe I will touch you that sweet day
That you take me there Where you are, oh where you are! I still believe I gotta believe I still believe I'll always be waiting here
Stoplights turn into skylines and my mind turns to you two hundred miles behind, off to this roadside dive wondering how this cup of coffee's gonna see me through
This has been our story, same sad song Ever since the day, the day you came along
It's a lonely night in Georgia And everything I do reminds me of being with you It's a lonely night but I'll be alright Cause I'm coming on home, coming on home to you
Skylines turn into stoplights Another town, another crowd When all the peoples gone home I'm left all alone, with nothing but you to think about
This has been our story I know you've heard it all before Cause every time I come home you know I'm right back out that door
It's a lonely night in Georgia And everything I do reminds me of being with you It's a lonely night but I'll be alright Cause I'm coming on home, coming on home to you
The mark of your body Through these tall olden pines The sound of your heart beat Brings your skin to mine Your peach can sit right by your southern suns tonight Now, my senses are heightened for the last 100 miles
It's a lonely night in Georgia And everything I do reminds me of being with you It's a lonely night but I'll be alright Cause I'm coming on home, coming on home to you (3x)
Lord??Lord...Lord, I've been gone so long Lord, I've been on the road so long but don't you worry darling cause I'm coming on home tonight
I gotta little thing comonna kaya... Cool sheets, real fine, lay me down in the hot July, I wish I may, I wish I might be next to you every night... No phone, no sir, don't want to be disturbed... Just me, just her, speak without using words, Learning her every curve...
Chorus There ain't nothing like sleeping late on a Saturday... Waking up, to see my baby's face... You know I wouldn't want to have it, Have it any other way... Cause it's my favorite, sleeping late on a Saturday...
She's the kind of girl, that any man would fancy, But she's mine all mine, one of a kind, Her beauty is so divine... This chance, romance, baby I cancelled all my plans... Just me, just you, and whatever we want to do, I'm so into you...
Chorus
Since Monday, I ain't thought of nothing but Being right there with you... (Ooh I just want to be with you my baby...) Come Friday, I can't wait, You're my special one, make me come undone... It's so much fun...
Dance for me sweetheart while I strum my guitar You sure look pretty tonight I've just come off the road and I could use the company Now that would suit me just fine
Now I've seen a lot of special things around this world You can see them too, you can What's that you ask I have no name, I have no name For I am know only as man For I am know only as man
<i>[Chorus]</i> I'm a wanderer I have no lace or time I'm just drifting on this lonely road of mine And if you like you can come along with me But I promise you that I am not the man I use to be But I promise you that I am not the man I use to be
Now you and I we've seen our share of ups and downs Somewhere we just lost hope I can't change the past but who cares Your love is all I've ever known Your love is all I've ever known
<i>[Chorus]</i>
I'm a wanderer I have no place or time I'm just drifting on this lonely road of mine It you would accept me for me Then I promise you that there's a better man inside of me Yea I promise you there's a better man inside of me Love I promise you there's a better main inside of me
Dance for me sweetheart while I strum my guitar You sure you look pretty tonight
I could bless the water, but it wouldn't turn to wine... Paint a picture of the sunset hangin' there in your eyes, But it'd just be some compromise...
I could write a million verses of words you've heard before, Steal some of Dylan's best, but it'd leave me wanting to say more... 'Cause there's so much more...
Chorus Baby if you could love someone like me, There's no end to the possibilities... Hopes and dreams push away the pain and regret... But lovin' you just lets me know, There might be hope for me yet...
Sometimes when I look back I don't even know myself Blows my mind to think that I've found Grace in someone else, baby your grace is somethin' else
Chorus
For a man who's done nothin', I've been blessed with so much more than I deserve... I'm smart enough to now that I've been handed somethin', Can't put a price on what it's worth...
How many times have I come to you? How many times have you taken me in? How have you never quite realized That this will be nothing more than what it's been?
Why is that I return to the scene of a crime Though there's nothing I need? Between the moments that linger before us Haven't you wondered why I always leave?
Chorus Let me, be who I am... Let me, leave while I can... You know love don't find this sort of man, So just let me leave while I can...
How many times have I come to you Bleeding and broken and under attack? How can you look in my eyes and my heart And not see that there's something I lack?
Why is it that I'm as bad as I am But I know that you'll never believe? Why do you still love me When all I have done is to lie and deceive?
Chorus
Can't give you what you need, And I'm so tired that I can't breathe... And I don't know if you can see, But my ship is going down... And I tried my best to be a man, So I'll set you free while I still can, Cause I can't seem to change who I am...
Chorus
Yeah just, Let me leave while I can... Let me leave, let me leave...
I wish you freedom I wish you peace I wish you nights of stars That beckon you to sleep I wish you heartache That leaves you more of a man I wish I could be there But I can't
I wish you places That sit so still Where people never ever change never ever will I wish i could hold you And make you understand I wish I could be there But I can't
Be good for your mama Cause she'll need a hand to hold Boy, she loves you More than you'll ever know There are rhymes and there are reasons And times when nothing stayed the same But you know my love still remains
I wish you wisdom I wish you years I wish you armies To conquer all your fears I wish you courage from all that life demands I wish I could be there But I can't
Be good for your mama Cause she'll need a hand to hold Boy, she loves you More than you'll ever know There are rhymes and there are reasons And times when nothing stayed the same But you know my love still remains
I wish we were together I wish I was home I wish there were nights Where I was never alone You know I've said it And I'll say it once again I wish I could be there But I can't
