A Desperate Man |
LyricsA Desperate ManI woke early this morning I put some hot coffee on I sat out on the porch In the gray light of dawn And just like some bad dream I was all by myself And you and the kids Were loving somebody else So I had to see you again. I had to say I was wrong. I had to look in your eyes one last time I drove all night long. Through the cold midnight rain Just to do what I can There?s so little time You should know girl that I?m A desperate man I tried to call you all day But you won?t answer your phone. Your Daddy got on the line. He said ?to leave you alone.? He said ?don?t you do nothing boy To bring her more pain? Don?t go changing her mind And start her crying again. But I had to see you again. I had to say I was wrong. I had to look in your eyes one last time I drove all night long. Through the cold midnight rain Just to do what I can There?s so little time You should know girl that I?m A desperate man Down a long tree lined lane On the outskirts of town On the steps of a church In a white wind blown gown I hear the chapel bells ring And they seal my fate There?s rice in the air Oh God I?m too late. But I had to see you again. I had to say I was wrong. I had to look in your eyes one last time I drove all night long. Through the cold midnight rain Just to do what I can There?s so little time You should know girl that I?m A desperate man |
