Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I became a warrior when I was in Baltimore My best friend was a junkie and a whore We never learned the difference between wrong and right We were looking for love like stray dogs in the night And I’d do anything for love and do more for money I carry it around my neck just like a stone People see me coming say “Hey, don’t he walk funny” Once I took a bullet in the bone And if you see my sweet Melinda Tell her fireworks are firing up my sky That the laughter and confetti is falling from the corners of my eyes I wonder if she thinks I’ve died… If you see my sweet Melinda Tell her that I miss her so Still love her after all these years If you see my sweet Melinda Tell her that I miss her so Still love her after all these years Well, I became an outlaw way back in '91 During an incident that started out as fun Doing it for the thrill ’til somebody got killed Then changed my name and now I’m on the run This year I’m on the road I’m gone to San Francisco I might lie low for a while out there Take it to the church dedicated to brother John Coltrane Brother John Coltrane, The Divine One rainy night I saw you walking all alone in that crowd We could have had love and everything that goes with it If I wasn’t so wild, if I wasn’t so, so damn proud Ooooooooh! If you see my sweet Melinda Tell her fireworks are firing up my sky That the laughter and confetti is falling from the corners of my eyes I hope she’s married now with a family, a mansion in the sky Ain’t it funny how time flies If you see my sweet Melinda Tell her that I miss her so Still love her after all these years If you see my sweet Melinda Tell her that I miss her so Still love her after all these years If you see my sweet Melinda Tell her that I miss her so Still love her after all these years If you see my sweet Melinda Tell her that I miss her so Still love her after all these years Oooooooh! Sweet Melinda
