She's as free as a blue horizon I'm a slave to this gravity And every night I hope and pray that she'll come back down to me I keep my eyes on the stars I track the heavens above my lonely world I'm tracking her to ? Shes my baby, shes my little

I got the mad man blues Man don't you know, don't you know I go home at night about half past four All that knocking on my door I love these women, gonna treat them right Ain't gonna fuss and ain't gonna fight You beg me now baby and not before I'm gonna

One more heartache, baby, I can't take it, now My heart is carryin' such a heavy load One more ache would break it Just like the camel with the heavy back, yeah One last straw, they say broke the camel's back Oh baby, oh, I can't take it, babe I can't

I see a dust trail following an old red Nova Baby blue eyes, your head on my shoulder You don't look a day over fast cars and freedom That sunset river bank first time feeling Wait, baby, don't move, right there it is T-shirt hanging off a dogwood branch

I hate to see that evening sun go down 'Cause my baby, he's gone left this town Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today If I'm feelin' tomorrow like I feel today I'll pack my truck and make my give-a-way St. Louis woman with her diamond ring Pulls that man
