Oh Yeah

(альбом: Pickin' Up The Pieces - 1969)

Being at most just a country boy innocent and all
I turned my face away from the farm, on the city I'd call
Hey, what's doing in the town of fortune and fame?
Bright lights a-glowing, I've come to make my name

You see I've got my ol' guitar, I'm not a begging fool
I play this town and a thousand more (God knows)
God knows I keep my cool
So what's missin'? I've given my world the best
And I'm downright grateful, for Oh Yeah, my life's been blessed

[Chorus:]
My my, can't you see the warning
When the fires burn you better pay
Oh Yeah it's gonna get you in the morning
Now's your chance you better get away

Stayed awake 'most all last night, just couldn't get to sleep
So many things sitting on my brain, yes, I need a chance to think
But I've been told not to worry, everything's gonna be all right
Oh, mama, won't you tell me, why did I leave that night?

Seems like it's been ages ago now since I come to town
Ain't much changed, every face is the same
Oh, people just a-hanging round
So I'm a-leaving this morning, gonna go back home today
And let me tell you, buddy, turn around if you're fixing to stay
You better go on home today

[Chorus x2]
