Mandingo

She spent her nights

Next to years of deception

And he sees a girl to him fifty summers ago

And again his hands tearin' apartSometimes I felt that

When the grass was always greener

And the sadness in the sun can turn it blueTake a swing up to the sky

And never watch it pass you by

The carpets rollin' out for youYou hold the reins

And I still have control

And I don't know

What I would do without youAnother room, another face

I smell the anger in this place

And I'm not hangin' to surviveMy chair sits high, the ceiling's low

There's nowhere else for me to go

I'll rot right here until the day I die
