Andy Pratt - Avenging Annie lyrics
rate meWe ran through hills and forests<br />
As two under a spell<br />
He was a city boy, Floyd the outlaw<br />
But I thought I knew him well<br />
<br />
Long after that great summer<br />
When I first came into my fame<br />
And the avenger from Oklahoma<br />
Was added to my name<br />
The avenger I became<br />
<br />
Well, they call me avenging Annie<br />
I'm avenger of womanhood<br />
I spend my whole life telling lies<br />
Lead you on and mess you over good<br />
<br />
I take all you spoiled young hippies<br />
Running around, playing games<br />
Mess around in your bed<br />
I'll blow your head<br />
I'll put you through a change<br />
<br />
What you've done to others<br />
I'll do unto you<br />
<br />
And then I met my<br />
Sensitive outlaw<br />
He was the best thing<br />
I had ever seen<br />
<br />
I wanna be his wife<br />
Forgiving my life<br />
I was so blind<br />
I could never have seen, no<br />
<br />
So I joined up with my outlaw<br />
And headed for California<br />
<br />
He treated me worse<br />
Than I ever imagined<br />
He even say<br />
He don't want me around<br />
<br />
Kept it up so long<br />
I couldn't be strong<br />
He run me right into the ground<br />
<br />
After five long years<br />
He picked me up and<br />
Then he slapped me down<br />
<br />
When I told my friends about him<br />
They all were on my side<br />
But I could see through the haze<br />
He looked so crazy<br />
I put my head right down<br />
And I cried<br />
<br />
For my poor lover<br />
I cried like a mother<br />
For my poor lover<br />
<br />
Well, I felt so sad about it<br />
But I knew I couldn't do him no good<br />
He was so far gone<br />
Standing all alone<br />
I left him, I knew I should<br />
I knew I couldn't do him no good<br />
<br />
And now I live out on a mountain top<br />
And I'm almost thirty-five<br />
And I've found my peace<br />
And I've found my release<br />
And I'm happy just to be alive<br />
<br />
And I might go back to my Floyd<br />
If I think it's the thing to do<br />
He gave up murder and theft<br />
Right after I left<br />
And you know I still love him too<br />
<br />
Just like your woman loves you<br />
Just like your woman loves you<br />
Just like your woman loves you<br />
Just like your woman loves you... <br />
<br />
Well, they call me avenging Annie<br />
I'm avenger of womanhood<br />
I spend my whole life telling lies<br />
Lead you on and mess you over, yeah<br />
<br />
They call me avenging Annie<br />
I'm avenger of womanhood<br />
I spend my whole life telling lies<br />
Lead you on and mess you over, yeah
