Mama, I don't think I can come home with you 'cause I saw a girl that looks like a friend Mercy, have mercy on she tonight 'cause she's standin' in the transit wind I finally got the nerve up To climb into your pick-up truck Off the white dashed line On the black wind swept road After my departure Well it felt too cold for March or May And the wind would not leave me alone Oh no, and the wind would not leave me alone
And I know a lie when I see one Drop from her trembling lips And I will lay down and cry when I need one But right now, I can't feel the Transit Wind And I'm not strong enough to go through that again 'Cause, I've never felt so bad The way I'm feeling now Candy, Candy there was a time When your love came in handy I can't get to sleep Without weeping on your name Well I'm weeping on your name (repeats)
