Glory

(álbum: Close Up - 1971)

It was on the stretch between Mobile and New Orleans
The sun was in my face and I was feelin mean
The sign she held in the air just read "Anywhere"

Long brown hair and eyes that stare
A face that told a story
Her head was free she had the world to see
She said her name was Glory
That's how it was with Glory

I didn't see any harm in giving her a ride
I'd been happy for years and I'd never had a thing to hide
I told her 'bout the things I like most
Some how she ended up close

In the morning when I woke up I saw her note
Held by a flower in the button home of my coat
"Friend I hope you can see what love means to me"
