Baby, do you understand me now?
Sometimes I feel a little mad
But don’t you know that no one alive can always be an angel
When things go wrong I feel real bad.

I’m just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood

Baby, sometimes I’m so carefree
With a joy that’s hard to hide
And sometimes it seems that all I have to do is worry
And then you’re bound to see my other side

I’m just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood

If I seem edgy, I want you to know,
That I never mean to take it out on you
Life has its problems, and I get my share,
And that’s one thing I never mean to do
Cause I love you

Oh, oh, oh, baby – don’t you know I’m human
I have thoughts like any other one
Sometimes I find myself, Lord, regretting
Some foolish thing, some little simple thing I’ve done

I’m just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood…

(1964, Bennie Benjamin – Gloria Caldwell – Sol Marcus)

Lately I begin to wonder how’s it all gonna end
After all the flash and thunder, then it’s gone with the wind
All the stars in the heavens, they been there to light my way
Without knowin’ where I’m going, probably get there anyway

Mystic highway that I’m on
Ooh ooh, take me home
Mystic highway that I ramble
Ooh ooh take me home.

This old road has been my lifeline, my companion and my friend
Like a rope around the universe, ain’t no beginning, ain’t no end
Out across the constellations, there’s a place behind the sun
Everything is connected, everything and everyone

Mystic highway that I’m on
Ooh ooh, take me home
Mystic highway that I ramble
Ooh ooh take me home.

Down by the river on Saturday night, everybody waiting for a good time
Smooth city slickers and loaded dice, take your money in a pig’s eye
Rain gonna fall, sun gonna shine, ain’t no worry in my mind
Big wheel rollin’ ‘cross the sky, ain’t no worry in my mind

All the stars that I’m under know the way I feel tonight
All the miles I’ve been travellin’ headin’ back to the light

Mystic highway that I’m on
Ooh ooh, take me home
Mystic highway that I ramble
Ooh ooh take me home
Ooh ooh take me home.
Yeah!

This could be my last letter, I may never see the cotton fields of home again
I miss you, dear sister, tonight I never felt so all alone
The fog was so thick that the Stone’s River stars
Could scarcely invade the dread and the dark
And all that I could see when I closed my eyes to dream
Was home, sweet home

In the camps of Round Forest the midnight coals were glowing through the haze
The Union boys sang Hail Columbia, then we sang Look Away, Look Away
Then a hush in the rain and there rose a sweet refrain
In the dark before dawn and instead of battle songs
The enemy and we all sang the melody
Of Home, Sweet Home

So if this is my last letter and I never see the cotton fields of home again
If I fall here at Stone’s River I know that God will bear away my soul to be with Him
And I’ll wait for you there where all is bright and fair
Where the light of His face outshines the Blue and Gray
Where all of humankind, yes every man
Will find his home, sweet home

Empire sits at the edge of a hill born out of a gypsy mind
Hell they were once 300 souls and none of them are mine
Now they’re just ghosts in the street
Wandering a land that sleeps

That once it was a lovely place now just tumbled weed
The houses here silent, quiet getting steeves
Now they’re just ghosts in the street
Wandering a land that sleeps

The mind of cali stands
The woman who planted the seed on the land
Empire met its end

Once you’re gone, you cannot go back, the locks they have all froze
Now they’re just ghosts in the street
Wandering a land that sleeps

The man who built the empire up from the ground
Is the cracks in the foundation when blowing it off all down
Now they’re just ghosts in the street
Wandering a land that sleeps

The mind of cali stands,
The woman who planted the seed on the land
Empire met its end

Hey there new friend across the sea
If you figure things out would you figure in me
Wouldn’t it be a thing
To live somewhere quietly where there’s a breeze
And there’s a reason for us to be

I look at people here in this city and wonder
Whether they’re lonely or like me they’re not content
To live as things are meant to be
When were you happy?
How long has that been?

Who speaks for them and then again
Who speaks for me?
My vote was never counted, so who upon this earth
Knows what it is that I believe?
We’re all looking for answers
Where no answers can be found
Or is that a concern of mine
Because I have the time
To question my ground?

Hey there new friend across the sea
Have you figured things out? Would you figure in me?
Hey there new friend across the sea
Have you figured things out? Would you figure in me?

I find the more I think the harder it is for me to breathe
When were we happy?
How long has that been?

Church bells ringing on our wedding day
Climbed in that limo and rode away
Guess you’ll always hear some people say,
Man, they’re never gonna make it.We settled in and we settled down
In this quiet little seaside town
You are the rock I built my world around
And life will never break it

We are one heartbeat in the darkness
We are one lasting answered prayer
We are one unbroken promise
And we are two, true believers

It wasn’t easy getting here today
Sometimes you stumbled or I lost my way
But every roadblock was a chance to say;
Take my hand I’m here beside you.

We worked and made it through the toughest parts
Now every day is another chance to start
To look around and see that where we are
It’s where we were trying to get to

We are one heartbeat in the darkness
We are one lasting answered prayer
We are one unbroken promise
And we are two, true believers

We are one before our God in Heaven
Oh, we are one road when the going gets rough, yeah
We are one now and forever
We are one name, one life, one flame

We are one heartbeat in the darkness
We are one lasting answered prayer
We are one unbroken promise
And we are two, true believers
We are two, true believers

A church house, gin house, a school outside house
On highway number 19 the people keep the city clean
They call it Nutbush, oh Nutbush
They call it Nutbush City Limits

Twenty-five for speed limit, motorcycle not allowed in it
You go to store on Friday, you go to church on Sunday
They call it Nutbush, oh Nutbush
They call it Nutbush City Limits

You go to fields on week days and have a picnic on Labor Day
You go to town on Saturday but go to church every Sunday
They call it Nutbush, oh Nutbush
They call it Nutbush City Limits

No whiskey for sale, if you get caught no bail
Salt pork and molasses is all you get in jail
They call it Nutbush, oh Nutbush
They call it Nutbush City Limits

A little town in Tennessee, that’s called a quiet old little community
A one horse-town, you have to watch what you’re putting down
In little Nutbush
They call it Nutbush, oh Nutbush
They call it Nutbush City Limits…

Oh my little darling, don’t you weep and moan
Some sweet day is coming, gonna carry my baby home
Oh my little darling, don’t you weep and cry
Some sweet day is coming, gonna marry you and I

Up and down the railroad, cross the county line
Pretty girl a laughing, my wife is always crying
Oh my little darling, don’t you weep and cry
Some sweet day is coming, gonna marry you and I

Jimmy tow the wagon, Jimmy hold the line
Bust my sides a laughing to see them horses trying
Oh my little darling, don’t you weep and cry
Some sweet day is coming, gonna marry you and I

Oh my little darling, don’t you weep and moan
Some sweet day is coming, gonna carry my baby home
Oh my little darling, don’t you weep and cry
Some sweet day is coming, gonna marry you and I
