I'm gonna leave you here
I'm gonna leave you at the station
I've got a long way to go baby
Woman don't you cry for me
Now I can't take no more
Now I don't need no complication
I've got a long way to go baby
Woman don't you cry for me
There's no one place I want to be
Attachment only hurts you
Take care of yourself baby
C'mon won't you let me be
There's just one thing I got to see
That's the Lord got to keep him in sight
Take care of yourself baby
C'mon won't you let me be
There's no one place I want to be
Attachment only hurts you
Better take care of yourself baby
C'mon won't you try to see
There is just one thing I got to see
That's the Lord got to keep him in sight
Take care of yourself baby
C'mon won't you let me be
Now baby here's the door
I don't need no aggravation
I've got a long way to go baby
Woman don't you cry for me
I'm gonna leave you here
I'm gonna leave you at the station
I've got a long way to go baby
Woman don't you cry for me
I've got a long way to go baby
Woman don't you cry for me

Never seen such a beautiful girl
Got me shaking inside
Calling on me from deep within her eyes
Not the kind you go handing around
Want to keep her right there
But this love it don't come as no surprise
And when I saw the way that she smiled at me
I knew it there and then that she was A 1
And then I felt the way she was touching me
Was something I had known I was waiting upon
Never seen such a beautiful girl
Had me quickly untied
Calling to me she made me realize
Not the kind that is lost or is found
She has always been there
A lover needed for this soul to survive
And when I saw the way that she smiled at me
I knew it there and then that she was A1
And when I felt the way she got through to me
Was something I had know I was waiting upon
Never seen such a beautiful girl
Got me shaking inside
Calling on me from deep within her eyes
Not the kind you go handing around
Want to keep her right there
But this love it don't come as no surprise

This song has nothing tricky about it
This song ain't black or white and as far as I know
Don't infringe on anyone's copyright, so...
This song we'll let be
This song is in E
This song is for you and...
This tune has nothing bright about it
This tune ain't bad or good and come ever what may
My expert tells me it's okay
As this song came to me
Quite unknowingly
This song could be you could be...
This riff ain't trying to win gold medals
This riff ain't hip or square
Well done or rare
May end up one more weight to bear
But this song could well be
A reason to see-that
Without you there's no point to... this song

It's easier to tell a lie than it is to tell the truth
It's easier to kill a fly than it is to turn it loose
It's easier to criticize somebody else
Than to see yourself
It's easier to give a sigh and be like all the rest
Who stand around and crucify you while you do your best
It's easier to see the books upon the shelf
Than to see yourself
It's easier to hurt someone and make them cry
Than it is to dry their eyes
I got tired of fooling around with other people's lies
Rather I'd find someone that's true
It's easier to say you won't than it is to feel you can
It's easier to drag your feet than it is to be a man
It's easier to look at someone else's wealth
Than to see yourself

Someone's driving a 450
And his friends are so wild
They're still in their stick shifties
But they feel they have much more style
But I've found...
It's all up to what you value
Down to where you are
It all swings on the pain you've gone through
Getting where you are
It's all up to what you value
In your motor car
It all rests on what it's cost you
Getting where you are
It's what you value
Someone's driving a 6-wheeler
Seems the world is all blurred
Knows he's in a show stealer
With a sound that's uncompared
And I've found
It's all up to what you value
Down to where you are
It all swings on the pain you're gone through
Getting where you are
It's all up to what you value
In your motor car
It all rests on what it cost's you
Getting where you are
It's what you value.

Throughout my lifetimes I'd hesitate
I'd feel some joy
But before I'd show my thanks it became too late
But now all the way I want to find the time
Stop and say
I thank you Lord for giving us each new day
And as I think back over so many years
Love that's filled my ears
I got to thank you Lord for giving us pure Smokey
And anyone who hears-hears that voice so free
He really got a hold on me
And I thank you all for giving to us Smokey-Smokey
Singing it so sweetly
Like no one else could do
Always trying something new
I thank you all for giving us pure Smokey

I was so young when I was born
My eyes could not yet see
And by the time of my first dawn
Somebody holding me... they said
I welcome you to Crackerbox Palace
We've been expecting you
You bring such joy in Crackerbox Palace
No matter where you roam know our love is true
While growing up or trying to
Not knowing where to start
I looked around for someone who
May help reveal my heart-someone said
While you're a part of Crackerbox Palace
Do what the rest all do
Or face the fact that Crackerbox Palace
May have no other choice than to deport you
I welcome you to Crackerbox Palace
We've been expecting you
You bring us joy in Crackerbox Palace
No matter where you roam know our love is true
Sometimes are good... sometimes are bad
That's all a part of life
And standing in between them all
I met a Mr. Grief-and he said
I welcome you to Crackerbox Palace
Was not expecting you
Let's rap and tap at Crackerbox Palace
Know that the Lord is well and inside of you
(Chorus)
