in her darkest hour
she kneeled down to pray
she said lord have mercy on me
i've done things that i do regret
i kneel before you and i repent
and like a caged bird with clipped wings
she knelt to the ground and let out a scream
she prayed for forgiveness and she prayed for faith
tears streaming down her bright red face
and she screamed
freedom freedom
lord have mercy on me
freedom freedom
lord have mercy on me
now in her darkest hour
she kneeled down to pray
she said lord have mercy on me
i've done things that i do regret
i kneel before you and i repent
and like a caged bird with clipped wings
she knelt to the ground and let out a scream
she prayed for forgiveness and she prayed for faith
tears streaming down her bright red face
and she screamed
freedom freedom
lord have mercy on me
freedom freedom
lord have mercy on me

25 to life for a crime that's way due time
he smacked her one too many and now he pays the price
got a cigarette hanging out the left side of her mouth
would she do it over again she says no way in hell
and that's the story of old mama dean
and that's the story of old mama dean
she was a good woman spoilt by a drinking man
couldn't take it no more and she said it had to end
but he didn't listen just like he always had
so she said a prayer to Jesus and committed her sin
and that's the story of old mama dean
and that's the story of old mama dean
didn't try to run she just sat down on the porch
and she stuck to her story didn't have no remorse
now she in her cell on a frozen january
won't see the light of freedom till she is done and buried
and that's the story of old mama dean
and that's the story of old mama dean

Spare Some Love
05:11
|
|||
been feeling mighty down
sun setting on the day
my mind grows weary
feel the burning weight
i once was happy
i felt no pain
i had a roof
to shelter me from the rain
well my coat is torn
seems come undone
my cup is empty
can you spare some love
i'm down and out
not a penny in change
i should leave this place
ain't no use in staying
my soul is weary
and my heart worn
ain't slept in days
no house and no home
well my coat is torn
seems come undone
my cup is empty
can you spare some love
so sit down beside me
spare a second of your time
i don't need a penny
i don't need a dime
and i'll tell you my story
not a word of a lie
it's a tale of sadness
and a wasted life
well my coat is torn
seems come undone
my cup is empty
can you spare some love

oh you're driving me wild
and out of my mind
3 o clock in the morning
and i'm lying in bed
visions of you are dancing
through my head
intoxicated i'm
under your curse

let the fools run in
let the blind lead the blind
cause i just can't get him
out of my mind
i just can't get him
out of my mind
i just can't get him
out of my mind
got to have him in my life
i called my girlfriend
and she said "what's the rush? "
"there ain't no reason to be
falling in love"
well wait a minute
some day girl you will see
pretty boy gonna come around
and knock you off your feet
let the fools run in
let the blind lead the blind
cause i just can't get him
out of my mind
i just can't get him
out of my mind
i just can't get him
out of my mind
got to have him in my life
i wanna
hold him
i wanna
kiss him
i wanna
tell him
that i got-to got-to got-to

it's been a long day
so much to do
got to cook and clean
but i love looking after you
and i'm going to lay my head on your pillow
fall asleep
it's been a long week
got our bills to pay
no matter how hard we work
can't seem to get away
and i'm going to lay my head on your pillow
fall asleep
it's been a long month
it seems we've come so far
taking on responsibilities
spending too much time in the car
and i'm going to lay my head on your pillow
fall asleep
it's been a long year
change has come and gone
brought us new excitement
and purchased us a home
and i'm going to lay my head on your pillow
fall asleep
it's been a long life
the children are all grown
the days are getting cooler
nights are getting long
and i'm going to lay my head on your pillow
drift asleep

somewhere off bourbon
some seek sex some seek love
but when you turn the corner
something wicked this way comes
only brave dare to enter
the alley's damp and dark
fishbones in the garbage
and it smells like broken hearts
the eastern winds are blowing
and i can hear the blind-man grinning
got an evil spell for you
and i'm going down
to new orleans
snake snails and puppy dog tails
be hanging on the wall
black cat in the walk way
and the doorman's ten foot tall
these streets have seen things
that people wouldn't believe
enough to drive a sane man crazy
the haunting of a babies dreams
the eastern winds are blowing
and i can hear the blind-man grinning
got an evil spell for you
and i'm going down
to new orleans
they say be careful what you wish for
cause dreams often come true
but not all the bad in the whole wide world baby
could compare to the evil that you do
so i'm going down
i'm going down down down
to new orleans
new orleans baby
i'm going down down down

woke up this morning
you weren't here
called you on the telephone
and you acted like you didn't give-a-care
came home late last night

no love, no love
you're too cool you're too cool
oh and i never liked the cold
oh no
oh no

asked me out to dinner
you were 20 minutes late
what you forgot to tell me was
that you were on another date
want you to commit
but you just won't settle down
cause why would you start walking now
when you could be running around
you don't want to give me
no love, no love

but what i didn't realize
is that you would put me through this hell
thought it was me
turned out to be you
cause i called your ex-girlfriends
and they said this is just something that you do
you don't want to give me
no love, no love
you're too cool you're too cool
and i never liked the cold
oh no

Again
05:07
|
|||
trouble seems to find me
no matter how i try
when your heart is beating
ain't no good place to hide
know i should do right
know i should behave
the wrongs i am doing
it goes deeper than my grave
oh and you
you make it hard on me baby
so here
i go again
and i'm trying hard
not to cross the line
cause the good i am feeling
ain't worth the pain of a good man's wife
well i can't help but thinking
maybe this was meant to be
i maybe have your heart
but she has got the ring
oh and you
you make it hard on me baby
so here
i go again
the things you say baby
bring me to my knees
but when you're living a double life
it's just a little hard to believe
the things you say baby
i want them to be true
i want to wear white baby
but you got me wearing blue
oh and I get I was dreaming
wishing you were mine
i wanted all your love
but i don't want to do the time
oh and you
you make it hard on me baby
so here
i go again
