Handful of Blues Lyrics

when I lost my way
found myself on rugged road
With a head full of trouble carryin' a heavy heavy load
I was stumblin' blind, goin' down that rugged road
and no one could help me I had to walk that road alone

when I met my friend,he said brother can I help you please
I know you got worries maybe some that I can ease
it's a long long way,and you might need some company
but I just couldn't hear him and he just let me be

my father before me,walked that road the same as I
he had his bad and his good times,and one day he had to die
people I made my way,and now I'm standin' in the sun
with my struggle behind me,my life has just begun

buy you a chevrolet
buy you a chevrolet
buy you a chevrolet
just do somthin' for you
just do somthin' for you

buy you a diamond ring
buy you a diamond ring
buy you a diamond ring
just do somthin' for you
just do somethin' for you

build you a house and home
build you a house and home
build you a house and home
just do somethin' for you
just do somethin' for you

buy you a chevrolet
buy you a chevrolet
buy you a chevrolet
just do somethin' for you
just do somethin' for you

time was baby when you treated me right
you used to stay at home,now you're stayin out at night
hey when I leave here,and you find what it means to be alone
yeah you'll cry for me, and pray one day that I'll come back home

yeah you was spoiled ever since you was a child
your mother and father let you run wild
hey when I leave here,and you find what it means to be alone
you will cry for me, and pray that I'll come back home

when you were down,you treated me like your special friend
now you treat me like your little boy,and it's got to end

You say you're blessed, by the stars up above
you can take care of yourself now, and you don't need my love
hey when I leave here, and you find what it means to be alone
you'll cry for me and prey one day that I come back home

baby, do you understand me now, sometimes I feel a little mad
and don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel,
when things go wrong your bound to see the bad

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

baby somtimes I'm so carefree with a joy that's hard to hide
and then sometimes it seems all I have to do is worry,
and then you're bound to see the other side

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

If I seem mean to you, I want you to know
that I never mean to take it out on you
cause life has it's problems and I get my share
and that's one thing that I never mean to do,cause I love you

Oh oh baby don't you know I'm human
I have faults just like any other one
and sometimes I find myself alone and regretting
some foolish little sinful thing I've done

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

No need to hide it, or to deny it,
I'll never buy it cause I've learned your ways
come hook or crook you're gonna make it rich
you're gonna scratch it if you got the itch
and people will know your name
and they'll do your will
at the top of your game
your the man, the man on top of the hill

you like to tell me, things to compell me
your gonna sell me, on your best intent
I know your really after fortune and fame
and greed is greed by any other name
you'll get what you want I know
and have time to kill
and every place you go
you're the man, the man on top of the hill

you've got ambition,a strong ambition
you're on a mission to be number one
what ever it takes to get what you deserve
no one can stand against that kind of nerve
and after they've nailed you in
the'll remember you still,the one who just had to win
he's the man, the man on top of the hill

you're the man,......way up on top of the hill

it's time to face it, the simple facts are clear
that no amount of lovin you, could ever keep you here
packed up to leave,and never lookin back
and don't try to stop this train, cause it's headed down the track

never a tear across that cheek
no sign of sympathy, for a man who's feeling weak
walkin's much to slow, so your runnin out on me

I must admit it,you never lied to me
but somehow you stole my heart, and now I can't be free
so please forgive me, if it's hard to take this in
but I gave you everything, now your tellin me it's the end

never a tear across that cheek
no sign of sympathy, for a man who's feeling weak
and walkin's much to slow
so your runnin out on me

where did the time go, see how fast it flies
now it's time to fly away, you can't stand long good-byes
I shouldn't take it so hard it's not that you don't care
but I'm one of many men the rest are still out there

never a tear across that cheek
no sign of sympathy,for a man who's weak
and walkin's much to slow
so your runnin out on me

baby I'm out of breath
we're talkin our selves to death
and nothing seem to change, maybe it's best if we parted
it's like the blind leading the blind
we're even further behind than when we started
I'm tired of talkin, guess it's time to go

baby I'm so confused
and feeling a little bruised
when all we do is fight
we can't help but feel down hearted
It's like the blind leading the blind
even further behind then when we started
I'm tired of talkin guess it's time to go

baby I'm out of breath
we're talkin ourselves to death
and nothing seem to change
maybe it's best if we parted
I'ts like the blind leading the blind
even further behind
then when we started
I'm tired of talkin guess it's time to go

you cover your senses
you cover your eyes
you tell your self lies
it's not a good thing
to do to yourself

your looking so lonely
your looking too thin
I can see your depression
see it settin in
it's not a good thing to do to yourself

I took a walk to the river, I watched the ships roll in
and I thought of you driftin like you do
nobodys gonna save you from that life you lead
but somebody's waiting
so open your heart babe

open your mind
and open your soul, yeah
leave the past behind
itt'ed be a good thing
to do for yourself

I took a walk to the mountain
I watched the birds fly high
and I thought of you locked inside yourself
nobody's gonnafree you from that cage your in
but somebody's waiting....

I don't want you to be no slave
I don't want you to work all day
I don't want you to be true
I just want to make love to you

I don't want you to wash my clothes
I don't want you to keep my home
I don't want your money too
I just want to make love to you

well I can see by the way that you switch and walk
and I can tell by the way that you baby talk
and I know by the way that you treat your man
I wanna love you baby, it's a cryin shame

I don't want you to bake my bread
I don't want you to make my bed
I don't want you cause I'm sad and blue
I just want to make love to you
