Joanna

Bill Anderson · Love and Other Sad Stories [MCA] [1978]

(Bill Anderson)



When I'm like a leaf in the wind you're an oak tree beside me

Lifting your branches to make sure I don't blow away

And when I'm like a rolling stone you're the Rock of Gibraltar

Steadfast and mighty and I ask myself every day.



What did I ever do to deserve you Joanna

The warmth of your sweet lips the touch of your hand

What did I ever do to deserve your sweet loving

You took a baby and made him a man

What did I ever do to deserve you Joanna?



--- Instrumental ---



I wonder where I'd be right now if you hadn't found me

Asleep in a bunk gutter stoned nearly out of my mind

Instead I wake up every day to my own private rainbow

Wrapped in your sweet love askin' myself one more time.



What did I ever do to deserve you Joanna

The warmth of your sweet lips the touch of your hand

What did I ever do to deserve your sweet loving

You took a baby and made him a man

What did I ever do to deserve you Joanna?



What did I ever do to deserve you Joanna?...
