unknown

Well who you callin' moon pie, my real name is richard
I live in a little town you've probably never been to before
There's a post office surrounded with gardenias
And a pair of mud flaps waggling at my door

I don't know what i want to say but somebody's got to help me
Nobody knows i'm here
No please don't call me moon pie, my real name is richard
My identity will disappear

We need peace in l.a., what happened was wrong
We all feel betrayed, but we got to be strong
If the powers that be let evil go free
You must understand, don't play into their hand

We need peace in l.a., peace in l.a.

Don't need beating and shouting, don't need burning and looting
Tonight we all pray, that our children are safe
There's hurt and frustration, there's a hard realization
But how can we help if we steal from ourselves?

We need peace in l.a., peace in l.a.
We need peace in l.a., peace in l.a.

Stay cool, don't be a fool
Stay cool, don't be a fool

When the time gets right
I'm gonna pick you up
And take you far away
From trouble my love

Under a big ol' sky
Out in a field of green
There's gotta be something
Left for us to believe

Oh, i await the day
Good fortune comes our way
And we ride down the kings highway

No you can't hide out
In a six gun town
We wanna hold our heads up,
But we gotta stay down

I don't wanna end up
In a room all alone
Don't wanna end up someone
That i don't even know

Lover, i await the day
Good fortune comes our way
And we ride down the kings highway

She graduated high school i bought her a trailer
In a little park by the side of the road
I could've had the army
I could've had the navy
But no i had to go for a mobile home

Yeah i guess i gave it all for you babe
There wasn't room in that trailer for two babe

I kept up with my interest
I kept up with my payments
She never said goodbye
I never asked why
Man we used to dance to lynyrd skynyrd
Boy she used to look so good at times

But i guess i gave it all to you babe
There's not room in no trailer for two babe

Well i guess i gave it all for you babe
All for you and your trailer too babe

Black cloud on the sun, i turned my collar up
And walked from your door up to the county road
Oh yeah, what luck, the timing's been rough on us
Right then, oh boy, we hit the turning point

Three or four years or more my life was on the floor
Blind faith, hangin' in, hungry and tired of it
Oh yeah, better luck--it takin' over us
But right now, oh boy, we've hit the turning point

She's had to follow me up and down these empty streets
Whiskey on her breath tryin' to give the world a test
Oh yeah, better luck--it takin' over us
Right now, oh boy, we've hit the turning point

Yeah right now, oh boy, we've hit the turning point
Yeah right now, oh boy, we've hit the turning point
We've hit the turning point

I was talking with a friend of mine, said a woman had hurt his pride.
Told him that she loved him so and turned around and let him go.
Then he said, "you better watch your step, or your gonna get hurt yourself.
Someone's gonna tell you lies, hurt you down inside."

Don't do me like that.
Don't do me like that.
What if i love you baby?
Don't do me like that.

Don't do me like that.
Don't do me like that.
What if i love you baby?
Don't do me like that.

Listen honey, can you see? baby, you would bury me
If you were in the public eye givin' someone else a try.
And you know you better watch your step or you're gonna get hurt yourself.
Someone's gonna tell you lies, hurt you down inside.

Don't do me like that.
Dont' do me like that.
What if i love you baby?
Don't do me like that.

Don't do me like that.
Don't do me like that.
What if i need you baby?
Don't do me like that.

'cause somewhere deep down inside
Someone is saying, "love doesn't last that long."
I got this feelin' inside night and day
Wait a minute

Listen honey, can you see? baby, you would bury me
If you were in the public eye givin' someone else a try.
And you know you better watch your step or you're gonna get hurt yourself.
Someone's gonna tell you lies, cut you down to size.

Don't do me like that.
Don't do me like that.
What if i love you baby?
Don't, don't, don't, don't...

Don't do me like that.
Don't do me like that.
I just might need you honey.
Don't do me like that.

Wait!
Don't do me like that.
Don't do me like that.
Baby, baby, baby,
Don't, don't, don't...

No!
Don't do me like that.
Don't do me like that.
Baby, baby, baby...

Oh, oh, oh...

Can't you see i love you?
Please don't break my heart in two
That's not hard to do cause i don't have a wooden heart

And if you say good-bye
Then i know that i would cry
Maybe i would die cause i don't have a woooden heart

There's no strings upon this love of mine
It was always you from the start
Treat me nice treat me good
Treat me like you really should
Cause i'm not made of wood and i don't have a wooden heart

Treat me nice treat me good treat me like you really should
Cause i'm not made of wood and i don't have a wooden heart
No i don't have a wooden heart

Sally's up in mississippi tonight
With a man she hardly knows
Sally's wearin' brand new clothes
Opportunity don't knock twice
So sally said, "bye, bye"
I hope she is alright
Up in mississippi tonight

Sally left before the sun could rise
When the city man came to town
She turned his head around
It was love with just one look
When she saw the size of his pocketbook
Oh sally's doin' fine
She's up in mississippi tonight

But there's a mountain boy who's gonna remember you
And sally you're one old girl he hates to lose
But you did what you had to do
You know i'm happy for you
But sometimes please think of me up there in biloxi

Sally's up in mississippi tonight
Stayin' in a big hotel
Rich man payin' the bill
Drivin' a brand new car
Drinkin' in fancy bars

She met this guy, she thought he was kinda good lookin'
Yeah she met this guy, she thought he was funny sometimes
His mom and daddy had a little money tucked away
They were someday bound to come down the line, to come down the line

He had a job but you could not call it working
She had cuban boyfriend out of town
She'd do anything in the world not to hurt him on down the line
Imagine that, on down the line

Well the old man caught her and he moved out last summer
Yeah she was down for awhile but she came around with time
She met a guy at work she thought was kinda good lookin'
Yeah on down the line

Down the line...

I got you where you belong
Here in my heart, right by my side
Honey you're getting me by

You pushed just a little too far
Made it just a little too hard
There's been a change of heart

I'll get over you, it won't take long

You were the moon and sun
You're just a loaded gun now
It gets me down--

Went to work and made the bathroom stink, come on, come on
Every other day i got a gator on my lawn

Get with it mike!

Well i jumped out of bed run across the street

Yeah she nearly drove me crazy with all those china toys
And i know she really didn't mean a thing to any of those sailor boys

Louisiana rain is falling at my feet
Baby i'm noticing a change as i move down the street
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same when i reach baton rouge

South carolina put out its arms for me
Right up until everything went black somewhere on baker street
And it was just some mean old poison, that i took up my nose
Thank god for a love that follows the angels and the whores

Louisiana rain is falling just like tears
Running down my face, washing out the years
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same when i reach baton rouge

Well i never will get over this english refugee
Singing to the jukebox in the all night beanery
Yeah he was eating pills like candy and chasing them with tea
You should have seen him lick his lips, that old black muddied beak

Louisiana rain is falling at my feet
Baby i'm noticing the change as i move down the street
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same when i reach baton rouge

Louisiana rain is falling just like tears
Running down my face, washing out the years
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same when i reach baton rouge

Would always feel misunderstood babe
I would never know honey

I want to make that connection, that connection to you
I want to make that connection, that connection to you

You know there's nothing i would not do
No river i would not swim, no mountain i would not climb baby
If i could have you right here once again

Honey what would i give if you would stroke my hand with your brow
Or whisper sweet things into my ear i would smile like a baby
I would be happy like a child if i could have you right here, right here, right here
Right here with me now

She was a cute little thing
He liked the way she shook her glass
And they went off to texas
And they bought some land yeah
And they settled in a hobo
Home by a taco stand
He was doin' things he didn't understand
There was no way to exlain it
She was god's gift to man

Well he got a promotion
And he bought himself a color tv
Had the cable put in
And they watched a round of jeopardy
And they sat out in the evening
And they watched the sun go down
And everything they did

Well she went off to houston
Where she was livin' in sin
Well he built an office building
But nobody moved in
She wound up in el paso
On the streets again
It was hard to take it
But sometimes you just can't win
It was after a little way
That he didn't understand
And couldn't understand that
She was god's gift to man

Well i seen her on tv just a couple of nights ago
She was a doin' a commercial
Smilin' with some ivory soap
Well i knew inside her heart was black as coal
There ain't no way to replace the amount of lovin' that little girl stole
