Andy Prieboy When The Heart Awakes
I was standin' in the breadline
Outside Heaven's gate
Ready to take whatever they gave
To those who would but wait
They were promising salvation;
They were handing out lucky breaks
And you get more then you bargain for when your heart awakes
They called me Million Dollar Lily
I'm just a twenty-five dollar fake
I could use a slug of liquor
Man I could drain a lake
I left my baby up in Washington
I said it was for her sake
You get more then you bargain for when your heart awakes
Yeah you get more then you ever bargain for when for when your heart awakes
I see the sun going down down down
And taste the salt of the sea
I fall down and cry out loud
"Oh God have mercy on me"
He's gonna make me a loser like my father
With the boys around the lake
You get more then you bargain for when your heart awakes
Yeah you get more then you ever bargain for when for when your heart awakes
Out on the Cherokee reservation
My father pays for his mistakes
Ridin' on a narrow road for those the world forsakes
It will not buy my back my innocence or break my falls from grace
You get more then you bargained for when your heart awakes
Yeah you get more then you ever bargained for when for when your heart awakes
Yeah you get more then you ever bargained for when for when your heart awakes
