Browne Jackson Your Bright Baby Blues Lyrics

Your Bright Baby Blues Lyrics

I'm sitting down by the highway

 Down by that highway side

 Everybody's going somewhere

 Riding just as fast as they can ride

 I guess they've got a lot to do

 Before they can rest assured

 Their lives are justified

 Pray to God for me baby

 He can let me slide

 

 'Cause I've been up and down this highway

 Far as my eyes can see

 No matter how fast I run

 I can never seem to get away from me

 No matter where I am

 I can't help feeling I'm just a day away

 From where I want to be

 Now I'm running home baby

 Like a river to the sea

 

 Baby if you can see me

 Out across this wilderness

 There's just one thing

 I was hoping you might guess

 Baby you can free me

 All in the power of your sweet tenderness

 

 I can see it in your eyes

 You've got those bright baby blues

 You don't see what you've got to gain

 But you don't like to lose

 You watch yourself from the sidelines

 Like your life is a game you don't mind playing

 To keep yourself amused

 I don't mean to be cruel baby

 But you're looking confused

 

 Baby if you can hear me

 Turn down your radio

 There's just one thing

 I want you to know

 When you've been near me

 I've felt the love stirring in my soul

 

 It's so hard to come by

 That feeling of peace

 This friend of mine said

 "Close your eyes, and try a few of these"

 I thought I flying like a bird

 So far above my sorrow

 But when I looked down

 I was standing on my knees

 Now I need someone to help me

 Someone to help me please

 

 Baby if you need me

 Like I know I need you

 There's just one thing

 I'll ask you to do

 Take my hand and lead me

 To the hole in your garden wall

 And pull me through
