Leavin' Anna

lyrics

leavin' anna

the florida sunshine baked my bones
all my life i been cold
bronchitus winston cigarettes
i layed in bed alone

a texas smile and a backbone heart
stole me from my home
one more city and one less child
we traveled where the money was good

chorus
new york city lights stay on
an' philadelphia knows
a workin' man is a workin' man
makes a delicate flower grow

cormac words too many to read
livin' in my mind
secrets stashed on top o' the others
troubles left behind

aint a soul on earth i can call a friend
when darkness settles in
another man with another job
dont help me in my pain

chorus

God helps you when ya help yourself
how's he gonna help me
that boy o' mine thinks double time
an' a nobody thinks o' me

anna cried all the rivers wide
from the rio grand to here
homes got flooded and people got drowned
leavin' anna sufferin

chorus
