Sing to me like the wind by the water, open up your gates
I can smell the sweet marijuana drifting from the muddy banks
Time alone with you's so hard to get, hard to get by
So I will savor every little last drop

Been singing songs from Memphis to New Orleans taking it day by day
All along well the banks of the Mississippi every hangout that will let me in to play
Well I'm saving all my dollars, gonna catch the train home
Home is wherever you are


It's only you I had to find
It's only you I had in mind
So I'll give my life away
I'll give it to you someday


From here to there & everywhere I've been traveling this lonesome road
I keep you with my in my heart darling till I find my way back home
There ain't nothing that could compare to
That sweet love between me and you
When I broke down, you made me feel brand new
Love like the music, you get me through

City lights so bright under the pale moonlight
Time zones changing in the middle of the night
Wheels keep turning, burning through state lines
I cross my heart and I hope to die

So I'll give my life away
I'll give it to you someday


It's only you I had to find
It's only you I had in mind
So I'll give my life away
I'll give it to you someday

So sing to me like the wind by the water, open up your gates
I can smell the sweet marijuana drifting from the muddy banks
Can you hear me
Can you hear me now
