Leavin’ Anna

[Verse 1]
The florida sunshine baked my bones
All my life i been cold
Bronchitus winston cigarettes
I layed in bed alone

A texas smile and a backbone heart
Stole me from my home
One more city and one less child
We traveled where the money was good

[Chorus: Malcolm Holcombe, Jared Tyler, Both]
New york city lights stay on
An' philadelphia knows
A workin' man is a workin' man
Makes a delicate flower grow

[Verse 2]
Cormac words too many to read
Livin' in my mind
Secrets stashed on top o' the others
Troubles left behind

Ain't a soul on earth i can call a friend
When darkness settles in
Another man and another town
Dont help me in my pain

[Chorus: Malcolm Holcombe, Jared Tyler, Both]
And the new york city lights stay on
An' philadelphia knows
A workin' man is a workin' man
Makes a delicate flower grow

[Dobro solo: Verse]

[Verse 3]
God helps you when ya help yourself
How's he gonna help me
That boy o' mine thinks double time
An' a nobody thinks o' me

Anna cried all the rivers wide
From the rio grand to here
Homes got flooded and people got drowned
Leavin' anna sufferin

[Chorus: Malcolm Holcombe, Jared Tyler, Both]
And the New york city lights stay on
An' philadelphia knows
A workin' man is a workin' man
Makes a delicate flower grow

The New york city lights stay on
An' philadelphia knows
A workin' man is a workin' man
Makes a delicate flower grow
