Cry Awhile lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Cry Awhile lyrics Well, I had to go down to see a guy named Mr. Goldsmith Nasty, dirty, double-crossin , back-stabbin phony I didn t want to have to deal with But I did it for you and all you gave me was a smile Well, I cried for you, now it s your turn to cry awhile I don t carry dead weight, I m no flash in the pan All right, I ll set you straight, can t you see I m a union man I m lettin the cat out of the cage, I m keepin a low profile Well, I cried for you, now it s your turn, you can cry awhile Feel like a fightin rooster, feel better than I ever felt But the Pennsylvania line s in an awful mess and the Denver road is a-goin to melt I went to the Church house, everyday I go an extra mile Well, I cry for you, now your turn, you can cry awhile Last night, cross the alley, there was a poundin on the wall It must have been Don Pasquale makin a 2 a.m. booty call To break a trusted heart like mine was just your style Well, I cried for you, now it s your turn to cry awhile I m on the fringes of the night fightin back tears that I can t control Some people they ain t human, they ain t got no heart or soul But I m a-cryin to the Lord, tryin to be meek and mild Yes, I cried for you, now it s your turn, you can cry awhile Well the preacher s in the pulpit and the babiis in their cribs I m longin for that sweet fat that sticks to your ribs I m goin t buy me a barrel of whisky, I ll die before I turn senile Yes, I cried for you, now it s your turn, you can cry awhile Well, you bet on the horses, they ran the wrong way I always said you d be sorry and today could be the day I might need a good lawyer, could be a funeral mad trial Well, I cried for you, now it s your turn, you can cry awhile song lyrics
