(G.J.)
You always said someday you'd go to live
(In Southern California)
And me I'd stay right here in Tennessee
You always talked about the better days
(In Southern California)
But if you'll stay in Tennessee
I promise there'll be better days with me
(T. W.)
It's not that I don't love you
But I hear the call
(From Southern California)
There's something I can't find in Tennessee
Silver screens and limousines
They wait for me in Southern California
Though you've been so good to me
The time has come you'll have to set me free
(G.J.)
Tomorrow when you leave
You'll take my heart
(To Southern California)
But just remember I'll be here
To keep your heart with me until you see
(T.W.) speaks:
Well, it's been five years
N' I guess I've cried a million tears
Lookin' out the window of this little room
Right over that flashin' neon sign that says, "Bar"
It's almost midnight,
An time to go downstairs and go to work
I wonder how he's doin' in, Tennessee?
(G.J.) spoken:
Well, here I sit by the window
Of this big old lonely mansion
Lookin' out over the Smokies
And on in everything I can see
Oh, I guess by now she's found
What she was lookin' for
And as I look at this old faded photograph
Of the girl that I still love
I wonder if she ever, thinks of me
(both)
But the weather's good
In Southern California.The smell of man that now scents your wings
and with that, brings a change in things
Banished forever from the sacred nest
On your snow-white breast
I feel there's still unrest
I said, hey, darlin' one
Your time has come
Hey, darlin' one
Five hundred midnights since have passed
Since I held you fast
You were safe at last
Wax burnt my finger like a clear blue flame
So young and tame
I was to blame
N' I call your name, darlin' one
Your time has come
I said hey, darlin' one
Your time has just begun
I cupped my hands around you
and I swore you would fly
My tears fell through the dirt
as I heaved you to the sky
and I heard, "Darlin' one
Your time has come
Your time has come
Hey, darlin', darlin', darlin' one"
Hey, darlin' one, your time has come
