When I Was a Freeport and You Were the Main Drag Songtext
von Laura Nyro

You took my heart - misery
You taught me blues
Well i got a lot of patience baby
That′s a lot of patience to lose
I'm crying - i′m mad at my country
Now i've been treated bad
When i was a freeport and you were the main drag.
Broken blues - i just don't know
Little bird, flying by my window
Take me where you go
I′m crying - i′m looking at these times
And it's bound to drive me mad
When i was a freeport and you were the main drag. What did i do?
Everybody′s putting me down
I keep running
But the law kept coming around.
So fare thee well - happiness
Cause i got blues
And i got a lot of patience baby
That's a lot of patience to lose
I′m a woman
Waiting for due time
Now i've been treated bad
When i was a freeport and you were the main drag
