Nelson - Leave the Light on for Me lyrics

rate me

Ten miles from Tulsa,

I met a sage with a cane,

with a top hat and tails~all tattered and stained,

He looked like my Grandpa~Sounded like my Dad.

we talked the whole way to Dallas 'bout the hard life he'd had.

He spoke of how when they met when they were just two kids in school,

they got married at sixteen,

like folks used to do.

how she'd taken those drinks and the keys and their babe,

and drove on to Glory and left him this way,(to say)

Oh Lord, Leave the light on for me,

a little ray of hope for the lost ones to see,

I'll carry on 'till you call me home,

from thid lonely life I lead,

Oh, Lord, Leave the Light on for me,

Just

Oh Lord, Leave the Light on for me.

Outside of Sulfer where Katrina hit the Bay,

We picked up a soldier boy~who'd seen better days,

A sunken eyed spector~fresh from his steel shell,

He said he felt out of place~so far from hell,

Well,that's when top hat woke up from his brokenhearted haze,

prehaps because this ghost would be about his own boy's age,

then he offered his hand to us vetrans of sin

before long us losers were all joining in

Oh Lord, Leave the Light on for me,

a little ray of hope for the lost ones to see,

I'll carry on 'till you call me home,

if that is what you need,

Just

Oh Lord, Leave the Light on for Me,

Oh Lord, Leave the Light on for Me

I beg you,

Oh Lord, Leave the Light on for Me,

Oh Lord, Leave the Light on for Me,

Instrumental

Oh Lord,

Instrumental

wooo

Yeah,

Life can be Cruel,

it can lead you astray,

that little bit of love you give~that's the only way~the way back home,

Oh Lord,

Leave the Light on for Me,

A little ray of hope for the Lost Ones like Me,

Pick up the phone when I'm all alone,

When I Cry, Sweat & Bleed,

Just

Oh Lord, Leave the Light on for Me,

Oh Lord, Leave the Light on for Me,

I Beg You,

Oh Lord, Leave the Light on for Me,

Oh,

Yeah,

I got to stay,

I'll be lost if you don't leave that light on for me,

Oh Lord,

Leave the Light on For Me,

Yeah,

Leave the Light on for Me,

Oooh,

Leave the Light on for Me,

<br />
