Lyrics Stayed Too Long - Bonnie Raitt

Stayed Too Long

Jesus cried, wept and died
I guess He went up to heaven I’ve been downtown such a long, long time
I’ll never make it home by seven
Won’t you come & take me home
I’ve been too long at the fair
And, Lord, I just can’t stand it anymore Well I went down to Chason’s
Walked 'til my feet got sore
I never knew what laughin' was’Til you walked out the door
Won’t you come and take me home
I’ve been too long at the fair
And, Lord, I just can’t stand it anymore Well, you can give my soul to Abraham
Give my soul to Saul
Give my bones to Canada
My feet they don’t hurt at all I don’t know who made the highway
I guess that’s just my pride
But I have heard the Prince of Darkness
On his charger ride The silver blade is gleamin’The scales are in his hands
I swear another night is fallin', Don’t you lose another man
Won’t you come and take me home
I’ve been too long at the fair
And, Lord, I just can’t stand it anymore
