Southern style
Things are slow
You're watching all the speeding cars
Moving like you wish you could
But, oh, it's too bad
'Cause they've drove away your happiness and good times
But I'm gonna get you into the light
And I'm gonna find a way that is right
And I'm gonna get you into the light
And make it okay
Sad eyes
You are the only one whose
Whose blue skies are gray
So don't cry
You'll be the only one to make them go away
You're so young
And so bored
You were staying out till late
'Cause it was what your husband hated
But, oh, it's too bad
'Cause he's stolen all your happiness and good times
But I'm gonna get you into the light
And I'm gonna find a way that is right
And I'm gonna get you into the light
And make it okay
Sad eyes
You are the only one whose
Whose blue skies are gray
So don't cry
You'll be the only one to make them go away
Yeah, you could make them go away
Took a lot of tears, but all you had to find was
Sympathetic years, the ones you left behind, yeah
Took a lot of tears, but all you had to find was
Sympathetic years, the ones you left behind, yeah
And I'm gonna get you into the light
And I'm gonna find a way that is right
And I'm gonna get you into the light
And make it okay
Sad eyes
You are the only one whose
Whose blue skies are gray
So don't cry
You'll be the only one to make them go away, yeah
Sad eyes (Took a lot of tears, but all)
You are the only one whose (You had to find was)
Whose blue skies are gray (Sympathetic years, the ones you left behind)
So don't cry
You'll be the only one to make them go away
Things are gonna go your way
Yeah, they're gonna go your way
Oh, they're bound to go your way
