Barefoot Lady

Barefoot lady

Mission on the bayou.
Barefoot lady playing.
Coming down the line.
Evening on my mind.
Never stay in place, came and go away,
Singing:

Flesh and her desire
In and out my mind.
If I can't make her forget you
Than I can never own her.
You keep getting younger,
I keep feeling older.

This man's in love with you –
You better believer it lady.
You have the power to drive this fool crazy
And never remain the same.
Ducking through the sugar cane.
Look behind you. Woman –
Give your hand to this man...

This man's in love with you.
You know you've everything
Just about as bright as it can be –
I need a concentrated, controlling urge
To get a hold on that girl.

I need your constant presence
To make my heart feel love.
That stone's too much
To carry all alone.
