Lyrics

A Desperate Man

I woke early this morning
I put some hot coffee on
I sat out on the porch
In the gray light of dawn
And just like some bad dream
I was all by myself
And you and the kids
Were loving somebody else

So I had to see you again.
I had to say I was wrong.
I had to look in your eyes one last time
I drove all night long.
Through the cold midnight rain
Just to do what I can
There?s so little time
You should know girl that I?m
A desperate man

I tried to call you all day
But you won?t answer your phone.
Your Daddy got on the line.
He said ?to leave you alone.?
He said ?don?t you do nothing boy
To bring her more pain?
Don?t go changing her mind
And start her crying again.

But I had to see you again.
I had to say I was wrong.
I had to look in your eyes one last time
I drove all night long.
Through the cold midnight rain
Just to do what I can
There?s so little time
You should know girl that I?m
A desperate man

Down a long tree lined lane
On the outskirts of town
On the steps of a church
In a white wind blown gown
I hear the chapel bells ring
And they seal my fate
There?s rice in the air
Oh God I?m too late.

But I had to see you again.
I had to say I was wrong.
I had to look in your eyes one last time
I drove all night long.
Through the cold midnight rain
Just to do what I can
There?s so little time
You should know girl that I?m
A desperate man
