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 ya 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

Oh I

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 I 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

Gonna keep you in my sight

Till the light comes

Ohhh

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
