Down at Backwater junction rolling down the line In the dark early morning I heard the one-forty-nine I was walking down the highway, needed somewhere to go A lady laid beside me and she invited me home She led me cold, tired and hungry down the backwater road
In a house on the corner looking over the track I woke up with a fever and a pain in my back She was lying there beside me, my fever started to grow Had a funny feeling but the lady said no My lover needs a doctor down the Backwater Road
Whatcha lookin' for, whatcha lookin' for Lady do you know what cha' lookin' for Was I wrong to play along? Lady was I right or lady was I wrong?
Backwater doctor, you've got me breathing in time It's ten-thirty in the morning and I'm feeling alright I went back to my lady but I wasn't to know Lady left this morning and she's not coming home I was cold when she left me down the Backwater Road
I am just a poor man, got nowhere to go All my leaves have fallen, left me all alone If I was a rich man, if I was a king I would give you all I have, give you everything If you'd just take me, just take me now If you'd just take me
Never seen my daddy, died when I was two Mama did the best she could, taught me all she knew Said that love was everything, tears came to her eyes Never knew the meaning, now I realize Love is all you need, all you need now If you just take me
I'm trying hard to get you, I'm not the only one Never had a big car, but I'm not on the run If love has got a meaning see it in my eyes If you see the beginning, then you'd realize Love is all you need, all you need now If you just take me Just take me Just take me now Won't you just take meTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
