She Won't Let Me Fly Away

Well, I wake up late in the afternoon

I eat my eggs to the evening news

and the sun's gone down 'fore I find my shoes

Music fills the air, but it's all the blues

And she won't let me fly away

she won't let me fly away

Well, we got no heat and the window's broke

The storm rains came, everything got soaked

And there's no bread left, nothing here to smoke

Then the Lord looks down saying

Can't you take a joke?

The palm tree's just a picture on a postcard

The ocean's just a memory in my dream

Then a man comes a T.V. selling soapsuds

To dirty up my rivers and my streams

Like a mystery movie without an end

When you think it's over, it just begins

It's not always true that the good guy wins

I been down so long that I got the bends

And she won't let me fly away

She won't let me fly away

She won't let me fly away

She won't let me fly away

She won't let me fly away
