Caged Lion
Featured on:
Well I woke up late and I missed my chance
But I looked back for a second glance
The windmill spun and made you dance
Uh huh
Now it’s your love that I can see
And now I hear a jamboree
Shake it up baby just like sugaree
Uh huh
In these hard, hard times
Life’s deep and dark like an old coal mine
I burn both ends but I still can’t shine
Uh huh
And in these hard, hard times
They box me in like an old caged lion
Got more fences than a county line
Uh huh
Well she runs so swift if you catch my drift
The waitress came and you leave her a tip
Shut your mouth, don’t give me no lip
Uh huh
And the river rolled and the sky grew cold
Time passed by and we grew old
I guess the rest just shouldn’t be told
Uh huh
