But I can guarantee There'll be no knock on the door I come from downtown Born ready for you And grace, too He said I'm fabulously rich C'mon just let's go She kinda bit her lip Geez, I don't know I'm total pro that's what I'm here for

The stowaways of civil war When living through a civil war "God bless our little civil war" Progress rides with thieves and whores I don't know you to wear a hat But I came home late and there it sat You rose to show what hats are for Christmas mornings

I want your loving more and more I want your kisses that's for sure I die each time I hear the sound They're saying here he comes He's Cathy's clown You're Cathy's clown You know you've got to stand tall You know a man can't crawl

Come together, yeah Come together, right now Here come old flat-top, he come grooving up slowly He got ju-ju eyeballs, he's one holy roller He got hair down to his knees Got to be a joker, he just do what he please He wear no shoeshine, he's got toe-jam

I keep my heart and soul in the boondocks I feel no shame I'm proud of where I came from I was born and raised in the boondocks One thing I know No matter where I go You get a line, I'll get a pole We'll go fishing in the craw fish hole Five-card poker

I promise to take you, take you as you are I know we've all got our problems And it's a blessing that we made it here so far And if you lay here in these arms tonight I promise All I have is here and now If the ground beneath, our feet has disappeared

Oh little rock Think I'm gonna have to slip you off Take a chance tonight and untie the knot There's more to life than what I've got You know this heart of mine just can't be bought I'm gonna find someone who really cares a lot When I slip off this

But real love is never a waste of time I’m gonna miss you Sometimes I wish we never built this palace I’m still there My head is filled with ruins Most of them are built with you Now the dust no longer moves Don’t disturb the ghost of you

You're gonna miss me I loved you, I loved you, I loved you But that was then Now, when you think of late nights with me there in your bed True ride or die, that's what you had And when you think of my body on yours, don't forget Once I would have died

She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting And I know she's smiling saying Don't worry 'bout me Why did she have to go So young I just don't know
