Help Me Up

Help Me Up (Lyrics)(Jon Hyde)

Oh, yeah.....

There's moonlight on the highway

Look out for the headlights

Blindin' your way

I'm headed down over the border

Where there ain't no law and order

Got me runnin' to my rig

I'll spend the night with a dancer

Make time romancin'

On top of that Texas cafe

But when the sun light's up through the window

Like a vagabond drifter on the run

I have to go... and steal away

Help me up

Help me up

Help me up

Help me up

There's hеartbreak waitin' in Houston

She left mе cryin' at the bus stop

Back in '65

And I'm willin' to forget the pain

The fever and tears that stained the walls

Of that cold Austin hotel

Let me play my concertina

Sweet as honey, but a little bit meaner

Than a Dixie melody

Said, "Sweet little angel

Have mercy, let your love flow"

In the mornin'

I'll steal away

Help me up

Help me up

Help me up

Help me up

(solo)

Help me up

(intro vamp)

When your night turns into my mornin'

I got to ride down the back road

In my Chevrolet

Baby, don't cry

While you're waitin' for my back door

I'll get my love from the truck-stop girls

On the way

I'm headed down over the border

Where there ain't no law and order

That's our rig in Nogales

So pile your hair up high

Keep the tears in your eyes

'Cause in the mornin'

I'll steal away
