Light Me Up

Last man standing, back to the wind

What a fool to stay out in the cold

Head down, nothing up but a collar

Any better, he don’t know

His back been breaking, jawbone aching

And the hours they’ve been wearing him out

No matter how far he pull the wool down

It don’t cover up the scar on his brow

So I say

Hey there lady

Won’t you come along and light me up

Darling, don’t you know

You’re the only one that make me high

Hey there lady

Won’t you come along and light me up

Darling, don’t you know

I’ve been dying, trying to catch your fire

He been sittin’ dead weight on a corner

Salt stains only serve to remind

And he ain’t gone blind, but he can’t see a thing

Through the tears the cold stole from his eyes

I seen many man mind gone afflicted

When a woman caught ahold of his nerve

Like a bottle rocket with a hand in a pocket

Wind up and kick a stone to the curb

Hey there lady

Won’t you come along and light me up

Darling, don’t you know

You’re the only one that make me high

Hey there lady

Won’t you come along and light me up

Darling, don’t you know

I’ve been dying, trying to catch your fire

Hey there lady

Won’t you come along and light me up

Darling, don’t you know

You’re the only one that make me high

Hey there lady

Won’t you come along and light me up

Darling, don’t you know

I’ve been dying, trying to catch your fire
