Well she’s a hard workin’ mama
The girl’s a blast
Workin’ two jobs a week
And goin’ to actin’ class
She’s got the magic
And she’s found the groove
Sure found the way, baby
To make me move
Maybe someday, maybe someday
Someday she’ll surely see
She’ll finally see
I’m just tryin’ to
Tryin’ to get you close to me
Tryin’ to get you close to me
She drove an eighteen wheeler
Like she’s made out of steel
But she laid down and cried
When love got too real
So I slow down the message
And I speed up the pace
Said I love you, darlin’
Face to face
Maybe someday, maybe someday
Maybe someday
Someday she’ll surely see
She’ll surely see
I’m just tryin’ to
Tryin’ to get you close to me
Tryin’ to get you close to me, yeah
Someday you’ll finally see
(Close to me)
Oh she’s a hard workin’ mama
You know the girl’s a blast
She works two jobs a week
And goin’ to actin’ class
She’s found the magic
And she’s got the groove
Sure found the way, darlin’
To make me move
Maybe someday, maybe someday
Someday she’ll surely see
Someday she’ll finally see
She’ll finally see
I’m just tryin’ to
Tryin’ to get you close to me
Tryin’ to get you close to me

I got a window lookin’ out at nowhere
I got a house as quiet as a tomb
I got a hundred thousand million memories
Crowded into every room
There are pieces of a faded picture
Held together by the tears I’ve cried
And they’re all that remains unbroken
Since the moment that you said goodbye
All it ever does is rain
All it ever does is rain
All I ever feel is pain
All it ever does is rain
All it ever does is rain
I got photograph in living color
You’d almost think it was alive
It sends me off at nine each morning
And greets me every night at five
There’s a copy of it in my pocket
And another on the bedroom wall
There’s a hundred
That I’ve torn to pieces
But I could never get rid of them all
All it ever does is rain
All it ever does is rain
All I ever feel is pain
All it ever does is rain
All it ever does is rain
Every time I think of freedom
I think about a sunny day
With nothin’ all around but sunshine
Every cloud has gone away
But when I think about that freedom
That’s when I think about the pain
And memories return like thunder
And leave me standin’ in the rain
All it ever does is rain
All it ever does is rain
All I ever feel is pain
All it ever does is rain
All it ever does is rain

Well I’m a stranger here
And I just rode into town
Well I’m a stranger here
And I just rode into town
Just because I am a stranger
Everybody wanna dog me around
Well I’m goin’ back down South
If I have to wear out 99 pair of shoes
Well I’m goin’ back down South
If I have to wear out 99 pair of shoes
Then I won’t be no more stranger
I won’t have no more stranger blues, yeah
Yeah, I like it
Well sometimes I wonder
Do my good gal know I’m here
Well sometimes I wonder
Do my good gal know I’m here
‘Cause if she do
She sure don’t seem to care
Don’t seem to care
Yeah, look out now!
You got it!

I make my livin’ feelin’ rotten
But I feel good when I play blues
I make my livin’ feelin’ rotten
But I feel good when I play blues
In this world of contradictions
What can a poor boy do
Some folks say you can’t sing blues
When you’re feelin’ good
I guess when things are lousy
I oughta knock on wood
I make my livin’ feelin’ rotten
But I feel good when I play blues
In this world of contradictions
Man, what can a poor boy do
I guess the worse things get
The better they must be
This mixed up way of thinkin’
Man, it’s killin’ me
I make my livin’ feelin’ rotten
But I feel good when I play blues
Yes I do
In this world of contradictions
Man, what can a poor boy do
Yeah, what can I do
I kinda like it!
Well if I feel a bit better
I’ll probably go broke
It’s enough to give a man the blues
And man, it ain’t no joke
I make my livin’ feelin’ rotten
But I feel good when I play blues
In this world of contradictions
What can a poor boy do
Yeah

Diamonds and pearls
You may have your own airplane
To fly all over this world

If you hear somebody knockin’
On your door
If you see somebody crawlin’
Cross the floor
Honey, it’ll be me
And I’ll be lookin’ for you
If you see a head a peepin’
Fram a crawded hole
If you see somebody climbin’
Up a telephone pole
Honey, it’ll be me
And I’ll be lookin’ for you
Gonna look in the mountains
And in the deep blue sea
Gonna search all the forests
Look in every tree
If you feel something heavy
From your fishin’ hook
If you see a funny face
In your comic book
Darlin’, it’ll be me
And I’ll be lookin’ for you
Yeah
Gonna look in the city
Where the lights are blue
Gonna search the coutry side
And all the haystacks, too
If you hear a voice callin’ out
In the night
If you see somebody hangin’
From a lamppost bright
Darlin’, it’ll be me
And I’ll be lookin’ for you
Darlin’, it’ll be me
And I’ll be lookin’ for you
Honey, it’ll be me
And I’ll be lookin’ for you
