Mister Please

Mister, please won't you tell me I'm alright?

I'm so lonely, I been thinking I could die

I got me a woman, she bled her soul all over me

I think she's crazy, what you gonna do with me?

Brother, brother, don't you hear them mission bells

Calling out all them sinners bound for hell?

Ain't no stranger been down that road before

So brother, brother, won't you tell me I'm alright?

I'm alright

Ah-ah, ah-ah

Ah-ah, ah-ah

Smoking mother nature into the dust

Yeah, that's all I see

Praying to gods that are made out of rust

And thinking what you might have been

Now I suppose I could change my vows

Yeah, that's all I need

Maybe someday you'll find me fishing

For the lock that fits with my key

Gonna change it, baby, that's me

Ah-ah, ah-ah

Hey, mister

Never one to count, take a look at my life

What a work of art I see

Got no love, baby, living off the tracks

With the chains and the shackles on me

Now I'm with you, gonna head on south

Sliding down to Mexico way

Maybe someday you'll find me sitting

On a beach where the palma trees sway

And heaven's just a little kiss away

Won't you help me, mister, please?

Now I suppose I could change my vows

Yeah, that's all I need

Maybe someday you'll find me fishing

For the lock that fits with my key

Gonna change it, baby, that's me

Won't you help me, mister, please?

Mister, please won't yo tell me I'm alright?

I'm so lonely, I been thinking I could die

I got this woman, she bled her soul all over me

Now I think I'm crazy, what you gonna do with me?

Mister, please
