Tears So Strong

Well same midnights when the lightning strikes it wakes me
I hear a lover's cry comin' from the sky and it takes me
To where the cobras slide and the gators crawl
They all run from tears so strong
Keeps pouring down burnin' up the ground as they're fallin'
Daddy told me once better listen son start believin'
You might think your tough bit that's not enough when she's leavin'
Someday you're gonna cry some tears so strong
Wash the tattoos off your arm
Gonna break you down it's a lonely sound as they're fallin'
Tears so strong what went wrong
What's done is done feelin' every one as they're fallin'
Tears so strong can't hold on
Until the kingdom comes countin' every one as they're fallin'
I'll never see her again or breathe her fire
Only she could dry these tears of mine
[ guitar ]
Well I got to make sense of the time that's left in a hurry
I'm going blind from all this cryin' and it's blurry
There's nothing worse than these tears so strong
Even a rusty knife through a voodoo doll
Keeps pouring down burning up the ground as they're fallin'
Tears so strong what went wrong...
