Lyrics
DONT TURN YOUR BACK ON ME TODAY
fresno like a grave
working like a slave'
a hundred and ten in the shade
feeling old before my time
like grapes for wine
forgotten on the vine
i know you'd help me
if you only could
but i've got problems
you cant solve them
baby, dont try to save me but dont your back on me today
dont turn your back on me today
field or factory
land
of opportunity
ten years disappear
it used to be clear
where i'd go from here.
where i'd go from here
i know you'd help me
if you only could
but i've got problems
you cant solve them
baby, dont try to save me
but dont your back on me today
dont turn your back on me today
days come
days go
seasons change
but everything stays the same
but dont your back on me today
dont turn your back on me today
dont turn your back on me today
