| Joanie packed her bags
|
| Made sure to bring her mate'
|
| Told her mom and dad that
|
| She never met nobody else
|
| Quite like lee
|
| He moved down from Oregon in the rain
|
| Established a connection with an underground king
|
| They’ll have it all, in the blink of an eye
|
| I’m the only one who knows how this happened all so fast
|
| We both grew up together
|
| I thought I knew this love would last
|
| Guess I was wrong, Heaven song, goodness gone
|
| In the blink of an eye
|
| She’s a very pretty girl
|
| With a magnolia smile
|
| In this white wedding world
|
| It only takes a little while
|
| To get what you want
|
| When no one’s looking in
|
| There’s a river running through
|
| The backwoods of her brain
|
| It brought a rapid fast delivery
|
| Of aqua colored pain, that no one could see
|
| Pity please, pretty please goes on in the night
|
| They’re trading places, they’re missing faces
|
| Their wanted poster’s on the wall
|
| They’re keeping pace with
|
| Two hopped up hippies in the Superdome
|
| Mama calling on the phone, when you coming home?
|
| She’s a very pretty girl
|
| With a magnolia smile
|
| In this white wedding world
|
| It only takes a little while
|
| To get what you want
|
| When no one’s looking in
|
| Go get what you want
|
| When no one’s looking in
|
| So I keep an eye out for the bright searchlight
|
| I swear I’ll never let you down again
|
| And if we try with all our mite
|
| Maybe we can reach the shore again
|
| But there’s something in the air
|
| That’s keeping me up, and I know why…
|
| So I keep an eye out for the bright searchlight
|
| I swear I’ll never let you down again
|
| And if we try with all our might
|
| Maybe we can reach the shore again
|
| I’ve searched for you all my life
|
| Stealing in those backwood halls again
|
| It’s up in the air the feelings we shared
|
| I never know just where to begin |
