Generate meaning
1
I recall once upon a time,
2
Livin was so easy and I felt so fine.
3
But, my, my, my right before my very eyes,
4
Satan came with fire to burn me,
5
Wouldn't listen when they warned me.
6
A dagger in my back while she's calling me honey,
7
Wouldn't stand back, for neither love nor money.
8
Thirty minutes after my ship set sail,
9
She put up a sign and my house began to wail.
10
But, why, why, why I couldn't see it in my little girl's eyes?
11
She had such a way to fool me, Lord she had a way to fool me.
12
And I would ask the woman, "Can you find it in yourself to please stand back?
13
You ain't gonna rule me."
14
Just when all began to fade,
15
I reached out, threw the Ace of Spades.
16
I put her on a train to the Everglades.
17
Now that it's all over and gone,
18
Somehow I just don't feel so alone.
19
But, lie, lie, lie it seemed like such a waste of time.
20
She did not ever seem to know me,
21
But, now it's much too late to show me.
22
But, if I ever see that woman walkin down the street I'll just stand back,
23
And try to move away slowly.
24
Oh, yeah.
"Midnight Rider" with Vince Gill, Gregg ...
