| Well I was just eighteen years old
|
| I sat down on some stairs
|
| I blew on some notes and gathered some votes
|
| And my blues began to shake that city air
|
| Drowned my life in fear
|
| And take me through your years
|
| But when I find I’ve got my piece of mind
|
| Lord knows you can spare me your tears
|
| Well I was just fresh out of school
|
| I didn’t abide your city rules
|
| Stayed out late at night I did nothing alright
|
| And man you know I went and blew it all
|
| Drowned my life in fear
|
| And take me through your years
|
| And when I find I’ve got my piece of mind
|
| Lord knows you can spare me your tears
|
| Hey little woman
|
| I said I hear you real good
|
| Hey little woman
|
| I know that I’m feeling like a good man should
|
| Ooh, yeah alright
|
| I’ve had me some real good years
|
| I’ve got to loosen my tears
|
| I had me fight but it worked out alright
|
| And those blues of mine began to disappear
|
| I drowned my life in fear
|
| And took me through my years
|
| But when I find I’ve lost my piece of mind
|
| Lord knows you can spare me your tears |
