Shine It On Lyrics


Shine it on, my man, forget your troubles if you can
I'll hold you till the dawn, shine it on, shine it on
You've been too long on the road and you're ready to explode
Come and lighten up your load, shine it onWe had love and not much more but dreams just for free
We sure got lost there, Dad and Mom and me
He'd let me steer on straight a ways as we drove from town to town
We knew that Daddy's gypsy blood wouldn't let him settle downThere were times he'd sit right down, just plain hang his head
But he'd always lift it up and smile whenever Mama said
Shine it on, my man, forget your troubles if you can
I'll hold you till the dawn, shine it on, shine it on
You've been too long on the road and you're ready to explode
Come and lighten up your load, shine it onPapa's gone, but Lord, his blood is running through my veins
Mama's gone to find him, so she can't ease my pain
Another woman holds me now in a little different way
Now I know why Papa smiled, when he heard Mama sayShine it on, my man, forget your troubles if you can
I'll hold you till the dawn, shine it on, shine it on
You've been too long on the road and you're ready to explode
Come and lighten up your load, shine it on

Shine it on, my man, forget your troubles if you can
I'll hold you till the dawn, shine it on, shine it on
You've been too long on the road and you're ready to explode
Come and lighten up your load

A life-long renegade, singer/songwriter David Allan Coe is one of the most colorful and unpredictable characters in country music history. One of the pioneering artists of the outlaw country movement of the '70s, he hasn't had many big hits — only three of his singles hit the Top Ten — but he has been among the biggest cult figures in country music throughout his career. Born in Akron, OH, Coe first got into trouble with the law at age nine. As a result, he was sent to reform school.
