Well, I wake up late in the afternoon,
I eat my eggs to the evening news,
and the sun`s gone down `fore I find my shoes,
Music fills the air, but it`s all the blues.
And she won`t let me fly away
she won`t let me fly away
Well, we got no heat and the window`s broke,
The storm rains came, ev`rything got soaked
And there`s no bread left, nothing here to smoke,
Then the Lord looks down sayin`,
Can`t you take a joke?
The palm tree`s just a picture on a postcard,
The ocean`s just a mem`ry in my dream,
Then a man comes a T.V. sellin` soapsuds
To dirty up my rivers and my streams.
Like a myst`ry movie without an end,
When you think it`s over, it just begins,
It`s not always true that the good guy wins,
I been down so long that I got the bends.
And she won`t let me fly away
she won`t let me fly away
she won`t let me fly away
she won`t let me fly away
she won`t let me fly away
