Steve Forbert - Song For The South (time's Gonna Take Me Back) lyrics

Baby's livin' on from hand to mouth She's roamin' all alone in the deep, dark South Her eyes are tired And she's been livin' with a brain full of sunset fire too long Babe, I want to send this song to you I'm hopin' what I feel will ring on through I've seen the stars And I can see 'em in a dream of where you are right now [Chorus:] Yes, and time's gonna take me back (Yes, and) time's gonna take me back Yes, and time's gonna take me back to you Baby's got the only love I trust She's standin' in the rainy rust and dust She's straight with me Baby's got my wild nighttime sea laid down Babe, I want to get your hand in mine Let my little song be a screamin' sign You are the one And I'll be hangin' on to the things we done; meanwhile... [Bridge:] This city here kicks and rumbles Way on past the midnight hour There ain't nowhere to walk or run to get away The world and the work's before me I'm caught in the plans I made up I don't know when, but I'll be back to you someday Baby's wakin' up in the delta sun She's wakin' up to blues, and she's on the run That land is old And it's haunted by a ghost in the chains of gold, blood chains Babe, I want to cool you down for free I want to do for you what you done for me Your eyes are tired And you've been livin' with a brain full of sunset fire too long [Chorus]
