Let me start by saying that I love you You know that I'd do anything for you Ever since day one you know you were a wild one And keeping you in line was hard to do
I did wrong I know I've been hard on you And in return you put me to the test And our blood is so much thicker than that water All I ever want for you is the best
And it's weighing on my mind I'm praying all the time Lord just help me see this through There are people in this world Some are broken some are black and blue And I know that you'll take care of me And I'll take care of you
You're gonna want to go to California To search for fame or stake your claim to gold And that thing you'll talk about what you'll call freedom Back in my day well we called that rock-n-roll
And it's weighing on my mind I'm praying all the time Lord just help her see this through There are people in this world Some are broken some are black and blue And I know that you'll take care of me And I'll take care of you
And I watch the sun rise in the sky Another day and another year And love and dreams and hopes and fears And I don't ask why it's the ties that bind
Life is good but things are never easy We laugh and cry and live and die alone You hold on to the one that really matters You let go of the light when that bird has flown
And it's weighing on my mind I'm praying all the time Lord just help her see this through There are people in this world Some are broken some are black and blue, it's true And I know that you'll be strong You'll have faith and you'll know love You'll have one of your own brand new And I know that you'll take care of her And I'll take care of you
