3
Baby hit the back door
4
breathin' real heavy
5
said the boys in the alley
6
wouldn't leave her alone
7
Mama did her make-up in a terrible hurry
8
she finally got ready
9
but the boys were gone
10
Mama don't you worry,
11
night's approachin'
12
there's a hole in heaven
13
where some sin slips through
14
just close your eyes and dream real steady
15
maybe just a little will spill on you
16
Dark don't lie
17
Dreams come true
18
Could be a few will see you through
19
Old lady Rose, lookin' down her nose
20
at lonely Miss Lily hiding in the hall
21
Lily's just praying for the trial to be over
22
lady Rose just waiting for the axe to fall
23
Show me off on the way to town
24
the sky's still shiny
25
and the earth's still brown
26
Tell the judge I'm ready for the vases
27
gonna dance in their faces
28
when the guitar sounds
29
Won't be long
30
I won't be gone
31
Been leaning toward the shadows all along
32
Those in the know say so it goes
33
you plan on reapin', you better sow
34
You plan on sleepin',
35
you better keep movin'
36
sleepin' ain't allowed around here,
37
you know
38
Snake eyes cry
39
Boxcars sigh
40
Seven's stuck in the middle
41
just wonderin' why
42
Dark don't lie
43
Dreams come true
44
All it takes is one or two
45
Maybe just a few will see you through
