Oh Lord
|
|
Ride over backwards
|
Ride over backwards
|
Ride over backwards
|
Ride over backwards
|
|
I was just a little girl
|
A-making my own way
|
16 years or more I had
|
Nothing left to say
|
|
I raised myself up almost
|
Lived on po'boys too
|
New Orleans ain't a place to live
|
If you never been to school
|
|
And I said
|
Ride over backwards
|
Slide over backwards
|
Ride over backwards
|
Let me ride
|
|
People gotta tell you
|
Slide over backwards
|
Slide over backwards
|
Ride over backwards
|
Let me ride
|
|
Daddy was a working man
|
He worked since he was 5
|
He dropped his wings on my train one day
|
And never learned to fly
|
|
I wonder what it takes to be
|
Someone who knows why
|
The earth ain't round
|
Unless you can
|
Teach yourself to fly
|
|
And I said
|
Ride over backwards
|
Slide over backwards
|
Slide over backwards
|
Let me ride
|
|
People gotta tell you
|
Slide over backwards
|
Slide over backwards
|
(sometimes you gotta be free)
|
Slide over backwards
|
Let me ride
|
|
Some days in a lifetime you gotta be strong
|
Some days in lifetime you gotta be brave
|
Dig on your knees sometimes
|
Sometimes you even gotta pray
|
|
Lord what it is what it is
|
|
Sometimes I feel like I'm going down, going down
|
Going down for the very last time
|
Oh don't know what it is, don't know what it is
|
Sometimes I feel like going down
|
|
Deep in my heart I pray
|
Ride over backwards...
