Well, all the dreams have gone from my worried mind |
|
Ain't no pretty pictures left by luck's design |
|
And baby, I'm just a leaf hanging on my family tree |
|
I'm just a leaf hanging on my family tree |
|
And it's a weak branch that's been hanging me |
|
April, if you May, comes to June and July |
|
All these months to the flame and still no butterfly, boy |
|
I'm just a leaf blowing on my family tree |
|
I'm just a leaf blowing on my family tree |
|
And it's strong wind that's been blowing me |
|
Baby, don't you cry, it won't matter to you |
|
'Cause every bad life goes by |
|
And your mama loves you, yes she does |
|
Now, there's a lotta good things that my daddy did |
|
But there ain't no burden like an unplanned kid |
|
And baby, I'm falling now, don't know where I'm gonna land |
|
I'm falling now, don't know where I'm gonna land |
|
Half in the shadows, honey, and half in the light, that's right |
|
Baby, don't you cry, it won't matter to you |
|
It won't matter to you |
|
'Cause every bad life goes by |
|
And your mama loves you |
