Ever since I lost you babe
|
I've been here and there
|
Looking for some piece of mind,can't find it anywhere
|
I went down to Tunica,played me a little blackjack
|
Saw a wino on the corner gave my winnings back
|
|
If it was just money
|
Baby,I could make it
|
But living without you
|
Can I take it
|
All I see ahead of me
|
Is just melancholy blue
|
Cause I ain't got no future without you
|
|
I went down to Austin,lots of beautiful people there
|
Could have had a better adventure,I just didn't care
|
Got a job in California,they sure like my style
|
But there's something about that California sun
|
Reminds me of your smile
|
|
If it was just money
|
Baby,I could make it
|
But living without you
|
Can I take it
|
All I see ahead of me
|
Is just melancholy blue
|
Cause I ain't got no future without you
|
|
Now and then I go back to Biloxi
|
Whenever I feel brave
|
Visit that little country church down there
|
Lay some flowers on your grave
|
You sure got a hold on me,I don't want to do
|
I ain't got no future
|
I can't see no future without you
|
