Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on Could it be a faded rose from days gone by? And did I hear you say, he was a-meeting you here today To take you to his mansion in the sky? She's 41 and her daddy still calls her baby All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy 'Cause she walks down town with a suitcase in her hand Looking for a mysterious dark-haired man In her younger days, they called her Delta Dawn Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on Then a man of low degree stood by her side And promised her he'd take her for his bride Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on Could it be a faded rose from days gone by? And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today To take you to his mansion in the sky? Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on Could it be a faded rose from days gone by? And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today To take you to his mansion in the sky? Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on Could it be a faded rose from days gone by? And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today To take you to his mansion in the sky? Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on Could it be a faded rose from days gone by? And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today To take you to his mansion in the sky?
I'm sittin' in this New York City hotel room alone Wishin' I was somewhere else or on my way back home Nashville Tennessee I know that's where I do belong Cause I don't know no New York City song They know I'm from Dixie when I open up my mouth They don't treat the ladies here the way they do down south I thought I could make it here but I can't get along Cause I don't know no New York City song And Lord I'd like to tell you just how much I'd like to leave Cause in my mind that south bound song is tuggin' on my sleeve New York City ain't the place a country girl should be New York City ain't the place for me Today I walked a New York City avenue downtown I've never seen so many people hurryin' around And when I smile they look as if to say that smiling's wrong No I don't know no New York City song I'm sittin' in this New York City hotel room alone Wishin' I was somewhere else or on my way back home Nashville Tennessee I know that's where I do belong Cause I don't know no New York City song Cause I don't know no New York City song
Well, she packed my bags and kicked me out When we were havin' bad times Looking back I can see it was over nothin' Since then there's been too much red wine And women messin' up my mind But nothin' can compare with baby's lovin' At two o'clock this mornin' I made up my mind I'm gonna go back home to my sweet baby I'm lookin' though the window at the city for the last time Lord knows this life, it'll drive me crazy Well, I walked out on the highway caught a semi headed home I hope she'll take me back oh Lord I'm prayin' Now I'm standin' at the front door hopin' I'll find her all alone Then I heard her sweet voice sayin' And she said if you touch me you've got to love me And if you love me you'll have to stay with me forever And I'll forgive you and love will be like it should be So if you touch me you've got to love me If you touch me you've got to love me
Well I said, "Friend don't take him he's all I've got Please don't take his love away from me I'm a beggin' to you friend don't take him he's all I've got He's everything in life I'll ever need" He is life oh when I wanna live He's everything to me in life that life can give He's my water oh when I need to drink He's the first thought in my mind each time I try to think Let me tell you now, "Friend don't take him he's all I've got Please don't take his love away from me I'm a beggin' to you friend don't take him he's all I've got He's everything in life I'll never gonna need" He's my fingers when I want to feel He's the only thing in life to me that's really real He is love he's all the love I know He could kiss the ground in the wintertime and make a flower grow Let me tell you now, "Friend don't take him he's all I've got Please don't take his love away from me I'm a beggin' to you friend don't take him he's all I've got He's everything in life I'll ever need" Let me tell you now, "Friend don't take him he's all I've got Please don't take his love away"
He just caught the Jamestown Ferry It's not a hot day in January Like he said it'd be if he ever left me A case of gone is all he carried As he got on the Jamestown Ferry He said that gone is all he'd ever be Didn't think that he'd leave me After he saying how much he needs me But the fact still remains I sitting her all alone Missing the love of my baby Lord it's about to drive me crazy He was the sweetest piece of heaven I've ever known He just caught the Jamestown Ferry It's not a hot day in January Like he said it'd be if he ever left me A case of gone is all he carried As he got on the Jamestown Ferry He said that gone is all he'd ever be As I walk through his kingdom of Honky Tonks and Bars I remember how he hold me and comfort me with talk He didn't curse with every breath He had a soothing southern drawl He made me feel like a lady through it all. He just caught the Jamestown Ferry It's not a hot day in January Like he said it'd be if he ever left me A case of gone is all he carried As he got on the Jamestown Ferry He said that gone is all he'd ever be He just caught the Jamestown Ferry It's not a hot day in January Like he said it'd be if he ever left me
Here we are again tonight alone just us two Where the lights're dim and true love is coming through There's no one else in this whole world as far as we're concerned We built ourselves a fire so let it burn Tomorrow night we'll meet again to once more fan the flame 'Cause loving you the way I do stays the same This love of ours is just as strong as any vow could be And love could never be better for you and me When you look at me like you do right now I go to pieces Because I know what's on your mind it's just me You've got that love-me-look in your eyes like you've had so many time and how Loving you could never be better than it is right now You've got that love-me-look... Loving you could never be better than it is right now
Mhm mhm mhm You're my soul song my everything-that-I-do song My pick-me-up-when-I'm-blue song that's why I sing all the time You're my soul song and that's why I call you my solid-gold song Nothin' in the world could ever go wrong as long as you are mine Never in the world have I seen anybody like you in all my time You give me a feel good feelin' through and through and it's so fine I'm up with the sun cause I don't wanna waste it I love you so much I can almost taste it I can sit still when I look up and see you comin' I start hummin' hmm You're my soul song my keep-me-safe-from-all-harm song My shelter-from-all-storm song that's why I sing all the time You're my soul song my keep-me-warm-when-I'm-cold song Nothin' in the world could ever go wrong as long as you are mine You're my soul song...
If you think it's hard in this day and time To hold your man like I been holding mine There's no secret just some little things to do It worked for me and it's 'bound to work for you A loving smile will start his day out right A goodbye kiss will bring him home at night Reach out to him when he needs a helping hand Touch him gently so, he knows you understand Be proud of him when you know he's done his best Let him know you think, he's better than the rest If you wanna hold your man, this is the way Love him more today than you did yesterday Love's the answer, love's the answer Be proud of him when you know he's done his best Let him know you think, he's better than the rest If you wanna hold your man, this is the way Love him more today than you did yesterday Love's the answer, love's the answer Love's the answer, love's the answer

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill he sounds too blue to fly That midnight train is whining low I'm so lonesome I could cry I've never seen a night so long when time goes crawling by The moon just went behind a cloud to hide its face and cry Did you ever see a robin weep when leaves began to die That means he's lost the will to live I'm so lonesome I could cry The silence of a falling star lights up a purple sky And as I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome I could cry I'm so lonesome I could cry
What's your mama's name, child? What's your mama's name? Thirty some odd years ago A young man came to Memphis Asking 'bout a rose That use to blossom in his world People never took the time To mind the young man's questions Until one day they heard him ask A little green eyed girl What's your mama's name, child? What's your mama's name? Does she ever talk about A place called New Orleans? Has she ever mentioned A man named Buford Wilson? What's your mama's name, child? What's your mama's name? Twenty some odd years ago A drunkard down in Memphis Lost a month of life and labor To the county jail Just because he asked A little green-eyed girl a question And offered her a nickel's worth Of candy if she'd tell A year and some odd days ago An old man died in Memphis Just another wayward soul The county had to claim Inside the old man's ragged coat They found a faded letter It said, "You have a daughter And her eyes are Wilson green" What's your mama's name, child? What's your mama's name? Does she ever talk about A place called New Orleans? Has she ever mentioned A man named Buford Wilson? What's your mama's name, child? What's your mama's name? What's your mama's name, child? What's your mama's name?

I only meant to love you don't you know it babe Why couldn't you be contented with the love I gave? I've given you my heart and now you want my mind Your love scares me to death boy it's the choking kind You can kill a girl with bullets, poison or a knife But it hurts her more to take her pride and run her life Whatever it is you want boy I hope you find But that Hat don't fit my head it's the choking kind When you fall in love again now take a tip from me If you don't like the peaches walk on by the tree Find what you want and keep it treat it sweet and kind But let it breathe don't make your love the choking kind But let it breathe don't make your love the choking kind
My driftin' mem'ry goes back to the spring of '43 When I was just a child in mama's arms My daddy plowed the ground and prayed that some day he could leave This run down mortaged Oklahoma farm Then one night I heard my daddy sayin' to my mama He finally saved enough for us to go California was his dream a paradise wall he had seen Pictures in magazines that told him so California cottonfields Where labor camps were filled with worried men with broken dreams California cottonfields was as close to wealth as daddy ever came Almost everything we had to sow we left behind From my daddy's plows to the fruit that mama canned Some folks came to say farewell and see what all we had to sell Some just came to shake my daddy's hand The Model A was loaded down and California bound And a change of luck was just four days away But the only change that I remember seeing for my daddy Was when his dark hair had turned to silver gray California cottonfields... California cottonfields...
That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin' down That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin' down Daddy said, "Now come girl We're headed down the road to Augusta" And frankly through his clenched teeth He called Mama's name and then he cussed her He said, "Girl, you're young But some dude has come along and stole your mother" But you can't steal a willin' mind 'Cause mama's always lookin' for a lover That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin' down That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin' down With dusty tear drops on his face My daddy cried an' big steps he was takin' Halfway runnin' to keep up My shorter legs were so tired and shakin' "Where did I go wrong, girl? Why would she leave us both this way?" At times like these, a child of ten Never knows exactly what to say That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin' down That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin' down We searched in every bar-room And honky-tonk as well And finally daddy found them And Lord, you know, the rest is hard to tell He sent me out to wait But scared, I looked back through the door And daddy left them both Soakin' up the sawdust on the floor That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin' down That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin' down That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin' down That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin' down

When I was a child down in South Caroline Soon as the Saturday sun went on down My folks and sister would go And leave me home all alone Goin' to that big square dance in town Well my old radio Would play that old Opry show So I never got lonesome or blue I'd fall asleep in my chair And dream that I was right there Just a-singin' the whole night through When my folks would come home They'd be hummin' a song Mama'd smile and say, "Child don'tcha know There ain't a thing in this world To make you fall in love girl Like the San Antonio Stroll" Well the day finally come When my momma said, "Hun It's 'bout time you came with us as well" Well, I had me a time Yes, I danced all night 'Til they rang that old crack midnight bell Then the lights went down low The fiddler picked up his bow And he played something stately and slow And my sister Eileen and her husband to be They held hands and began to stroll I've been away for awhile But it still brings a smile When I think of the way that it goes Now I'll sing it to you Just so we both can do that old San Antonio Stroll Now I'll sing it to you Just so we all can do that old San Antonio Stroll

Broken glass lies on the bedroom floor A broken dream lies in my head I was counting on a big surprise But I got a big surprise instead I didn't know people could change so fast I didn't see the game you played Now the morning finds me somewhere in the past Hanging on the promises we made I know that life is just a big and restless ocean With the wind and the water always changing view And I've always been the kind didn't count on much But I thought I could depend on you (yeah, hmm) Weatherman says, "It's gonna rain today" And yes I believe he's right My face is feeling just a little bit wet With a big storm coming through tonight I know that life is just a big and restless ocean With the wind and the water always changing view And I've always been the kind didn't count on much But I thought I could depend on you (babe) But I thought I could depend on you Yes, I thought I could depend on you (honey)

Same dancers in the same old shoes Some habits that you just can't lose It's no telling what a girl might use After the thrill is gone The flame rises but it soon descends Empty pages and a frozen pen You're not quite lovers and you're not quite friends After the thrill is gone After the thrill is gone What can you do when your dreams come true And it's not quite like you planned What have you done to be losing the one You held them so tight in your hands Well time passes and you must move on Half the distance takes you twice as long So you keep on singing for the sake of a song After the thrill is gone You're afraid you might fall out of fashion And you're feeling cold and small Any kind of love without passion Ain't no kind of loving at all Same dancers in the same old shoes You get too careful with the steps you choose You don't care about winning but you don't want to lose After the thrill is gone After the thrill is gone

Like a child lost in the wilderness I knew not where to go Surrounded by the emptiness Of a love that left me cold I stumbled through that darkness Of nights that have no stars And days that have no sunshine To warm my broken heart Like a bird in flight brought down by stones From an unknown assailant's sling A stranger took you from my arms And I lost everything In days to come I nearly ran Out of ways to stay alive But through it all I never lost The will to survive And I'm not over you and I doubt that I'll ever be But I've learned to live and you won't be the death of me, oh, no Yes, I've learned to live and I'm doing well But I'm not over you Like a thief who takes just what he needs And leaves the rest behind You took the heart right out of me And left me with my mind And I almost went out of it At times believed I did But gradually I learned you're someone I'll have to live with 'Cause I'm not over you and I doubt that I'll ever be But I've learned to live and you won't be the death of me, oh no Yes, I've learned to live and I'm doing well But I'm not over you
They say that life goes on I'll find true love again. It's not the end of the world, One day my heart will mend. Someone will come along and a new love will grow Thats what they say but what do they know How could they know the pain I feel inside my heart, They never lost your love, So who do they think they are. They never held you, or had to let you go. Well They're not trying to live without you, So what do they know They say all is fair in love But for me that's just not true. I feel like someone took a knife And cut my life in two. It's better to have love and lost Than to have never loved, I'm told. At least that's what they say, but what do they know Well they're not trying to live without you, So what do they know

Seminole wind Let me feel your breath again Take me back to the place your love did find me Black ribbon, lead me home Wherever I may roam And may the bridges that I cross not burn behind me I've seen the Sunset Strip And the Hollywood Hills Where the desert fades into the L.A. sky Where the palm trees are a-reachin' And the holy devil's preachin' To people blinded by the stars behind their eyes To be roamin' like a gypsy And livin' on the edge Sometimes your loneliness, it comes with throttle And happiness, it seems Just like our golden dreams Won't be found at the bottom of a bottle Seminole wind Let me feel your breath again Take me back to the place your love did find me Black ribbon, lead me home Wherever I may roam And may the bridges that I cross not burn behind me As I followed this great highway From the west coast to the east I cursed the worn-out stars as they were falling I got tossed and turned around But I always stood my ground I still hear the winds of Seminole a-calling Seminole wind Let me feel your breath again Take me back to the place your love did find me Black ribbon, lead me home Wherever I may roam And may the bridges that I cross not burn behind me Seminole wind Let me feel your breath again Take me back to the place your love did find me Black ribbon, lead me home Wherever I may roam And may the bridges that I cross not burn behind me Seminole wind Let me feel your breath again Take me back to the place your love did find me Black ribbon, lead me home Wherever I may roam And may the bridges that I cross not burn behind me Seminole wind Let me feel your breath again Take me back to the place your love did find me Black ribbon, lead me home Wherever I may roam And may the bridges that I cross not burn behind me Seminole wind Let me feel your breath Take me back to the place

I said, "Man," I said, I said, "Bring my flowers now, while I'm living" Bring my flowers now, while I'm living I won't need your love when I'm gone Don't spend time, tears, or money on my old breathless body If your heart is in them flowers, bring 'em on All the miles cast a long shadow I'd take a couple back if I could I'd learn to play guitar Tell my daddy more I loved him But I believe, for the most part, I done good There's always sunrise and rainbows in babies And the little things I cherish on my way Even though one day they'll bury me and Jesse Ray I just know we're gonna ride again someday Bring my flowers now, while I'm living I won't need your love when I'm gone Don't spend time, tears, or money on my ol' breathless body Well, if your heart is in them flowers, bring 'em on The days are long, but the years are lightning They're bright and they will never strike again I wish I'd been a better friend A better daughter to my mother There's no going back when your back's against the wind So if you got love, then you're sittin' on a gold mine And you can't take it with you when you go So don't wait to help your sister Forgive your brother and your neighbor We all think we've got time until we don't Bring my flowers now, while I'm living I won't need your love when I'm gone Don't spend time, tears, or money on my old breathless body If your heart is in them flowers, bring 'em on If your heart is in them flowers, bring 'em on
Outward the big roads grow smaller Back where the country begins She's slidin' inside her new four-wheel And takin' herself for a spin The grove run the light all around her Shows off her beauty so well She looks like the heavenly angel But Tanya is meaner than hell Tanya your colors are sullen Tanya you're black and you're blue Sometimes love lurks in strange places And passes on people like you
I have traveled down the long and twisted roads Through the darkened streets not many souls have known I've seen beauty some may not understand I found glory in the ruin of the best-laid plans There were times tomorrow felt so far away It seemed as though the bitterness was here to stay And though I've pushed down on my anger through my tears I have always felt the love of God so near I've been everything there is to be So come on, baby, show some kindness to me How the hand of fate drags us all behind Like a river flowin' back and forth in time To the place we call free will, but we were always meant to be It was written like a song so long ago It's a long and lonely river to the sea So come on, baby, show some kindness to me When all the wasted years have come and gone And there's just the empty sky to look upon And all the dreams that pulled our hearts are memories I will remember what it felt like to be free 'Cause I've been everything there is to be Come on, baby, show some kindness to me How the hand of fate drags us all behind Like a river flowin' back and forth in time To the place we call free will, but we were always meant to be It was written like a song so long ago It's a long and lonely river to the sea Come on, baby, show some kindness to me I've been everything there is to be So come on, baby, show some kindness to me Come on, baby, show some kindness to me Come on, baby, show some kindness to me Come on
Just a little static Breakin' up The Beatles A.m. wake-up Tuesday mornin' tunes It's a turquoise-blue good mornin' With the copper eagle flyin' Whippin' through the plains north across the motel-rendezvous You know me, I'm still a-movin' Just as slow as ol' molasses A bacon cooked up good and crisp for gone Moved into Alabama in a purple fire-bird A-lookin' for some love, lookin' for the words to write a song As cheap as gas is here I will look beyond my longin' The extra dollar doesn't mean a damn If I get clear of Jasper And all this Dixie thunder I'll get breakfast with brown eyes in Birmingham Hippies on the shoulder Yeah, they're at a place hereabouts They're tie-dyed and golden-haired and free All the motorcycle cowboys Highway 269ers Pullin' up the shades and shuttin' down the rebel history Oh, me, I'm still a-blowin' Through the same old C-sharp harp Old hymns and Arthur Alexander songs Ah, Jake Hess is up in Heaven Together, they'll both be singin' A-singin' with the Lord above you, best be movin' on As cheap as gas is here I will look beyond my longin' The extra dollar doesn't mean a damn If I get clear of Jasper And all this Dixie thunder I'll get breakfast with brown eyes in Birmingham As cheap as gas is here I will look beyond my longin' The extra dollar doesn't mean a damn If I get clear of Jasper And all this Dixie thunder I'll get breakfast with brown eyes in Birmingham I'll get breakfast with brown eyes in Birmingham Breakfast with brown eyes in Birmingham Woah, Birmingham

Only time can really know Just like the California sun And I think I'm goin' down Come and meet me in the shadows Of this drunk and broken town Don't curse your mind with yesterday Or the love we could have found Just waltz across the moment To that sweet western sound It seems like a fever dream Everyone matchin' in their perfect themes Somethin' they saw on their TV screen Here I am out on my own My daddy always seemed to know Who hung the moon and where the river flowed You know I can hear him when the night wind blows Daddy, which way do I go? 'Cause just like the California sun And I think I'm goin' down Come and meet me in the shadows Of this drunk and broken town Don't curse your mind with yesterday And the love we could have found A-Just to waltz across the moment To that sweet western sound Don't shoot the lights out Don't curse the moon You're the star of the show And if you don't go How will you know Heaven for real? Just like the California sun And I think I'm goin' down Come and meet me in the shadows Of this drunk and broken town Don't curse your mind with yesterday Or the love we could have found A-just to waltz across the moment To that sweet western sound Oh, sweet western sound
I felt you calling I saw you start From the old town movies to the bars on the boulevard The bells where ringing For gypsy soul Straight to the smart mouth, little girl from Simeno All you have lost And the opera queens They're at those golden arms around the baby of the family Just stand beside you then, was more than enough I always was, and always will be looking up So gather around now (Oooh) It's time to sing It's bittersweet (Oooh) but it's hell of a silver lining I tell the same old stories Young at your wings And I get better every time I kiss a weathered cheek And watch doves fly Sooner than me I guess I'm ready, all ready as I'll never be The snow don't follow Willcox And the whipper will don't lie All the chill things you can count on And if you blink you're gonna miss it twice Even if I saw it coming, even if I wanted to Just going to the one place left, that I can't follow you So gather 'round now It's time to Sing It's bittersweet (Oooh) but it's hell of a silver lining I tell the same old stories Young at your wings And I get better every time But I don't know Ain't' no debts to repay Even if you're light years away May the circle be unbroken Let it break through your sunny sweet day Woah happy day Gather 'round now It's time to sing It's bittersweet, but it's hell of a silver lining I tell the same old stories Young at your wings And I get better every time I kiss a weathered cheek And watching doves fly Sooner than me I guess I'm ready (Oooh) Ready as I'll never be I'm ready as I'll never, be
Well, I wish time hadn't throttled I wish years had changed your mind I'll be the labels of the bottle 'Til that clear green glass can finally get its chance to shine Well, I ain't gonna make excuses I've since lost all track of my demons and their muses So if you're still keeping score, then you can keep your heart attack I'll make me a list, do whatchu gotta do You heard stories about my past and they're probably true Hell, make me a list, oh, that'll be fine If you wanna sling mud in my face, tell you what?

You can get to the back of the line I don't live in the past, it ain't gonna last And the years ain't always been kind But that list of things you don't like about me Is gonna be shorter than mine Now I ain't here to make excuses And I've since lost all track of my demons and their muses So if you're still keeping a score, then you can keep your heart attack Hell, make me a list, do whatchu gotta do Y'all heard stories about my past and they're probably true I'll make me a list, oh, that'll be fine If you wanna sling mud in my face, tell you what?

Dear Miss Linda, I write to let you know You always were my favorite The greatest and that still goes I know that you've been struggling Been in the shadows for so long I just had to reach out to you And say you shaped me with your songs I wanted to be just like you Linda You left an unforgettable, incredible stamp on me A voice from heaven above, to the valley below If I close my eyes, I can still feel the glow Of her like a whale reaching out from our radio I thought you should know, rest easy Linda You already stole the show Dearest Linda, I heard your voice today I walked through the door, at the troubadour In desperado saw through plain We only met once in Nashville, I hope someday we meet again We can talk about the highs and the times gone by I just love to be your friend I remember how they introduced you on the TV The girl with the warm, beautiful, chipmunk eyes As the rivers of inspiration flow You pull me in like an undertow And you got no idea how your magic grows But as far as I go, rest easy Linda You already stole the show, mm-mm Thought you should know Ooh, Linda, ooh, Linda You already stole the show
My blood runs hot, baby, 'til it goes cold And you know my heart is a city of gold The sun sets in the west But I'm slowing down Hollywood Boulevard I don't believe I'm done just yet I took the hard knocks and the broken dreams So, I don't freeze in the moment when the good ones go And I can do in the habits My blood runs hot, baby, 'til it goes cold And you know my heart is a city of gold Honey, if you do just like I told you Might have a little fun tonight They got jet planes and bullet trains Take you anywhere you wanna go, except for yesterday I wear my sadness like a summer dress When the wind blows through I feel beautiful Honey, ain't that just the way? My blood runs hot, baby, 'til it goes cold And you know my heart is a city of gold Honey, if you do just like I told you Might have a little fun tonight My blood runs hot, baby, 'til it goes cold And you know my heart is a city of gold Honey, if you do it just like I told you My blood runs hot, baby, 'til it goes cold And you know my heart is a city of gold Honey, if you do it just like I told you Might have a little fun tonight (yeah) Have a little fun tonight
Hang on, just to hang on for a minute, I've got something to say I'm not asking you to move, on, forget it, but these are better days To be wrong all along and admit it, is not amazing grace To be loved like a song you remember even when you changed Tell me Did I go on a tangent? Did I lie through my tears? Did I cause you to stumble on your feet? Did I bring shame on my family? Did it show you that I was weak? Whatever you've seen, that wasn't me That wasn't me That wasn't me When you're lost, you will toss every lucky coin you'll ever trust And you'll hide from your God like He ever turns His back on us And you'll fall all the way to the bottom and land on your own life Can you learn who you are, even if it doesn't take your life? So, tell me Did I go on a tangent? Did I lie through my tears? Did I cause you to stumble on your feet? Did I bring shame on my family? Did it show you that I was weak? Whatever you've seen, but that wasn't me That wasn't me That wasn't me (no) But, I want you to know that you'll never be alone I wanna believe Do I make myself the blessing to everyone I leave? And when you fall, I will get you on your feet Do I spend time with my family? Did it show you that I was weak? When that's what you see That'll be me That'll be me That'll be me That'll be tears
