"If It Wasn't For Bad" lyrics
"If It Wasn't For Bad"
(with Leon Russell)
I knew from the first night I met you
Something just wasn't quite right
Loving like an innocent stranger
But something was just out of sight
How could I know that you had used me
Fill out some plan of your own
I could have known you'd abused me
Leave me here hurt and alone
If it wasn't for you I'd be happy
If it wasn't for lies you'd be true
I know that you could be just like you should
If it wasn't for bad you'd be good
I only sung what I wanted to sing
You were a dream in my mind
I never know how you never could be
It didn't take long for me to find
I guess that it's mine for foresee
Only what I wanted to see
I couldn't know you would be
A player just acting for me
If it wasn't for you I'd be happy
If it wasn't for lies you'd be true
I know you could be just like you should
If it wasn't for bad you'd be good
I knew from the first night I met you
Something just wasn't quite right
Loving like an innocent stranger
But something was just out of sight
If it wasn't for you I'd be happy
If it wasn't for lies you'd be true
I know you could be just like it should
If it wasn't for bad you'd be good
If it wasn't for bad you'd be good

We'd ride out of this valley...
Neil Young - "Heart Of Gold" I want to live
I want to give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
It's these expressions

Van Morrison - "Brown Eyed Girl" Hey, where did we go
Days when the rains came?
Down in the hollow
Playing a new game
Laughing and a-running, hey, hey
Skipping and a-jumping
In the misty morning fog with

Walking thirty miles with a sack on his back
And he put down his load
Where he thought it was the best
He made a home in the wilderness

James Taylor - "Fire And Rain" Just yesterday morning, they let me know you were gone.
Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you.
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song,
I just can't remember who to send it to....
