Leavin' Anna - Malcolm Holcombe

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

New york city lights stay on

An' philadelphia knows

A workin' man is a workin' man

Makes a delicate flower grow

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

And the new york city lights stay on

An' philadelphia knows

A workin' man is a workin' man

Makes a delicate flower grow

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

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
