Southern style

Things are slow

You're watching all the speeding cars

Moving like you wish you could

But, oh, it's too bad

'Cause they've drove away your happiness and good times

But I'm gonna get you into the light

And I'm gonna find a way that is right

And I'm gonna get you into the light

And make it okay

Sad eyes

You are the only one whose

Whose blue skies are gray

So don't cry

You'll be the only one to make them go away

You're so young

And so bored

You were staying out till late

'Cause it was what your husband hated

But, oh, it's too bad

'Cause he's stolen all your happiness and good times

But I'm gonna get you into the light

And I'm gonna find a way that is right

And I'm gonna get you into the light

And make it okay

Sad eyes

You are the only one whose

Whose blue skies are gray

So don't cry

You'll be the only one to make them go away

Yeah, you could make them go away

Took a lot of tears, but all you had to find was

Sympathetic years, the ones you left behind, yeah

Took a lot of tears, but all you had to find was

Sympathetic years, the ones you left behind, yeah

And I'm gonna get you into the light

And I'm gonna find a way that is right

And I'm gonna get you into the light

And make it okay

Sad eyes

You are the only one whose

Whose blue skies are gray

So don't cry

You'll be the only one to make them go away, yeah

Sad eyes (Took a lot of tears, but all)

You are the only one whose (You had to find was)

Whose blue skies are gray (Sympathetic years, the ones you left behind)

So don't cry

You'll be the only one to make them go away

Things are gonna go your way

Yeah, they're gonna go your way

Oh, they're bound to go your way
