Broke down on a back road
Can't find no cover anywhere I go
I need the comfort of a girl I know, from back in my hometown

One line mama, one kiss
How you gonna stand there, don't ya do me like this

You got the bullets that don't ever miss
They lay me on the ground

I want to see you in the light
I'm gonna keep you in my sight till the light comes

Oh I

My friends don't know me
They cook me in the fire in the third degree
I ain't nothing like I used to be
Lord I'm sinking down

Swing wide mama, swing low
Come on love me baby before I have to go
You got the whip, baby I got to I roll
Unless I want to drown

I want to see you in the light
I'm gonna keep you in my sight
Till the light comes
Oh and I want to see you in the light

Oh and I
Gonna keep you in my sight
Till the light comes

Ohhh

How can I get closer to you?
What am I to do? 
Only thing I ask of you
How can I get closer to you?
What am I to do?
Only thing I ask of you
