Light On My Hands

(album: Live At Tower Theatre - 2018)

Mr. John Tyler Perry, everyone!

I don't wanna go down to the grocery
Afraid I'll see somebody I know
That'll ask me how I've been doing
I just wanna get my things and go

Well the roads been kicking my teeth in
A little harder than I had planned
Well somedays I can't seem to shake it
It makes me a little meaner than I am

Get that light out of my eyes and shine it where I'm working boy
What part of this don't you understand
Get that light out of my eyes and shine it where I'm working boy
Get that light down here on my hands

One day I wanna ride out of here in
A cloud of dust and smoke
One day I'mma finally have the last laugh
At every damn inside joke

When you see me just pass me that bottle
Don't ask if you don't want a lie
Better yet just to keep on grooving
No need in a long goodbye

Get that light out of my eyes and shine it where I'm working boy
What part of this don't you understand
Get that light out of my eyes and shine it where I'm working boy
Get that light down here on my hands

Mr. John Tyler Perry, everyone! That's a Mike McClure song, thank you
