Bless 'Em

(album: Subject To Change - 1973)

Lord the devil had his hands on my soul
I even stooped to pleasure being mean
Oh God, have mercy on us weak men
That lean too heavy on their women.

A woman's trust in her man is the key
And broken vows leave so much in doubt
Good Lord watch over all them good strong women
And bless 'em with the patience
To love a needy man
Bless 'em with the patience
To love a needy man

Well I'd give up my rambling and and my drinking
I pray the heart I broke will mend
This loneliness has started me to thinking
Just what it's like to be on the losing end.

Lord that devil's had his hand on my soul
I've even stooped to pleasure being mean
Oh God watch over all'a them good strong women
And bless 'em with the patience
To love a needy man
Bless 'em with patience
To love a need man
