Lyrics
The Desperate Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
See her walkin with a fella
Two of them, so nice and mellow
Hey hey, hey hey, hey hey hey
My heart is broken; it's open wide
Feel so down, deep inside
Hey hey, hey hey, hey hey hey
Summer slid by, and still it's fall
Wonder what she done before
Hey, hey, hey hey, hey hey hey
I'm too far down the deepest ditch
Too far gone to ever switch
Hey, hey, hey hey, hey hey hey
Drive all night now, without a care
Hope to catch you standing there
Hey, hey, hey hey, hey hey hey
Don't forsake a desperate man
Hope you know that's who I am
Hey, hey, hey hey, hey hey hey
