Poco

(d. frazier)

Well, it won't be long now
Until that ol' sun goes down
And darkness helps me hide my shameful tears
My wife works all night long
For a man who's halfway gone
She's a barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs

It's a shame she wears the name
Of a man who's locked and chained
To a bottle that's destroyed all hopes and cares
To the men with hungry eyes
She works and hides her pride
She's a barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs

Baby, you can see that it's a lie
What he said to you
Made you sad, kind of made me glad
'cause i got the same from you

I ain't your fool, you'd better go away
Don't apologize
No words you'd say wouldn't be okay
I'm through listenin' to your lies

You thought i'd be here, you came back
You were so darn sure of yourself
But just look around, see it ain't so
You'd better start lookin' for help

So many times you stood and laughed at me
Now i'll take my turn
You've had your way up until today
Guess that it's time you learned

'cause i got the same from you

Don't tell me we're goin' down a oneway
Hear me, somebody, would ya like to
Take the time to find ourselves a new way,
Hear me, somebody, could ya try to?
Ah, changes stranded in fear
But keep on believin' keepin' it clear
Good times will fin'lly arrive
It's been so long, come along, come on along.
Don't tell me we got no right to be choosin'
Hear me, somebody, are ya sure now?
If you think the way we're goin' ain't confusin'
Hear me, somebody, take a look now.
Look at the changes stranded in fear
But keep on believin' keepin' it clear,
Good times will fin'lly arrive,
It's been so long, come along, come on along.
Don't tell me that it's gettin' down to bleedin'
Hear me, somebody, where are we goin'?
When ev'ry day has the answer to the question
Don't ya know it's been showin'?
Ah, changes stranded in fear
But keep on believin' keepin' it clear
Good times will fin'lly arrive
It's been so long, come along, come on along
Come on along

You better think twice
About leaving me behind,
Make up your mind
About what you're gonna do
You know it ain't easy
When your love huts night and day
Oh how you please
When i hear you call my name
Breathlessly i await the moment to surround you
Do not fear the song that makes you sing
It will offer you wings to fly away
But do expect to land if you can't stay
You better think twice
About leaving me behind
Make up your mind
About what you're gonna do
You take my advice
Oh woman, you got to choose
Take a little time
You got nothing more to lose
In time, you know my melody will haunt you
Your words can make it rhyme so easily
It ain't no sin, when love is real
So come on and let me know just how you feel

You better think twice
About leaving me behind,
Make up your mind
About what you're gonna do
You know it ain't easy
When your love huts night and day
Oh how you please
When i hear you call my name
Breathlessly i await the moment to surround you
Do not fear the song that makes you sing
It will offer you wings to fly away
But do expect to land if you can't stay
You better think twice
About leaving me behind
Make up your mind
About what you're gonna do
You take my advice
Oh woman, you got to choose
Take a little time
You got nothing more to lose
In time, you know my melody will haunt you
Your words can make it rhyme so easily
It ain't no sin, when love is real
So come on and let me know just how you feel
