Lock, Stock and Teardrops
Waylon Jennings · Destiny's Child [Bear Family] [1999]
Someday I won't come running when you call
The way you hurt me it's a wonder I'm still here at all
Someday you'll wake up and you'll find yourself alone
Lock, stock and teardrops I'll be gone.
I can't go on the way you make me live
Make me cry and every time expect me to forgive
Someday you'll wake up to a cold and lifted dawn
Lock, stock and teardrops I'll be gone.
--- Instrumental ---
Someday I'll wake up find me strenght and move along
Lock, stock and teardrops I'll be gone.
Lock, stock and teardrops I'll be gone...
