Radney Foster - Precious Pearl lyrics

rate me

Bill Hullett electric guitar

Mike McAdam electric guitar

Lloyd Maines steel guitar

Dan Dugmore acoustic guitar

Albert Lee mandolin

Pete Wasner piano

Michael Joyce bass

Bob Mummert drums

Kim Richey harmony

He left you behind the same way you left me

Darling I won't take pride

Or bore you with some victory speech

I didn't come around to try and pass judgement on you girl

I'm just back here looking for a precious pearl

A precious pearl that I let slip right through my hands

A precious love that I have longed for ever since

How'd a treasure so rare get left behind somewhere

I was fool to let my anger blind me girl

So I'm just back here looking for a precious pearl

SOLO

The good times we once shared

Burned up with our last bridge

And the past can't be repaired

But we might start all over again

So if you could use a old friend back here in your world

Darling I'm just looking for a precious pearl

A precious pearl that I let slip right through my hands

A precious love that I have longed for ever since

How'd a treasure so rare get left behind somewhere

I was fool to let my anger blind me girl

So I'm just back here looking for a precious pearl
