Sally May Songtext
von Dirtwire

People told me long ago about the time
You and Sally Mae found a rock to climb
She bet you twenty dollars and the race was on, man

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

People lookin′ at me, I can read their mind
That's the guy who walks the world′s superior name times
The heart and reason God's size, sunshine falls tonight

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

People whisper to their children, "Keep her away"
They see me comin' and forget what they was gonna say
Eyes that wander to the sky as if it′s never been


Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

While I walk, I wonder how the past would be
If you had never come between Sally Mae and me
I wonder if the present I′d have never hoped to see

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Well, twenty years ago on this very day
The Lord, He helped me out, shot my Sally Mae
Her tears, they faded, wept and kissed her so softly goodbye

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Now I wish with all my heart that you were she
Instead, you're with me all the days as I can′t see
A man and his bottle, now to toast the past


Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
