I woke up this morning my eyes filled with rain
I woke up this morning my eyes filled with rain
Everyone I used to know they've forgotten my name
I got a woman in Nashville, I promised her the sky
I got a woman in Nashville, I promised her the sky
She's a brown haired woman, I swear she never told a lie
Take it easy baby, there are children in this temple now
take it easy mama, there are children in the temple now
If you take away your mercy we'll just fall in the river and drown
I owe my rent to the state Lord, they'll take away every cent
I owe my rent to the state Lord, they'll take every cent
there's some folks I used to know that just act like we never met
