Lonnie Holley - Like Hell Broke Away Lyrics

Yesterday
You had nerves enough to go
You called me out, Babe
You called me out
You called me out
Called me out
You said just before you let me go
You wanted me to know more
You wanted me to know
You loved me no more
I said now, now running
I gave you all of my money
I gave you all of my money
Carried you downtown
Bought you things
From all, oh, oh
All kinds of seasons
For all kinds of reasons
Now whatever comes your way
You called me out, Babe
Had these words to say
Said you didn’t want me no more
Told me to get the hell on and go
I said, Baby, Baby please
Baby, Baby please
Don’t treat me this a-way
I’m just a man
Loving all I can
I gave you all of my money
Everything I had
Now you want me to go
Left me crying in tears
I said, Baby
I said, Baby
Do you know how much water it takes
To make a teardrop?
Do you know how much water it takes
For a man to cry?
I said nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Dark clouds come around me
Dark clouds come around me
Thunder and lightening
Thunder and lightening
You think Hell’s broke a-loose
You think Hell broke away
Then I got on my knees
Got on my knees to pray
I said tears kept falling
And slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away
Tears kept falling
Aw, Baby

Yesterday
You had nerves enough to go
You called me out, Babe
You called me out
You called me out
Called me out
You said just before you let me go
You wanted me to know more
You wanted me to know
You loved me no more
I said now, now running
I gave you all of my money
I gave you all of my money
Carried you downtown
Bought you things
From all, oh, oh
All kinds of seasons
For all kinds of reasons
Now whatever comes your way
You called me out, Babe
Had these words to say
Said you didn’t want me no more
Told me to get the hell on and go
I said, Baby, Baby please
Baby, Baby please
Don’t treat me this a-way
I’m just a man
Loving all I can
I gave you all of my money
Everything I had
Now you want me to go
Left me crying in tears
I said, Baby
I said, Baby
Do you know how much water it takes
To make a teardrop?
Do you know how much water it takes
For a man to cry?
I said nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Dark clouds come around me
Dark clouds come around me
Thunder and lightening
Thunder and lightening
You think Hell’s broke a-loose
You think Hell broke away
Then I got on my knees
Got on my knees to pray
I said tears kept falling
And slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away
Tears kept falling
Aw, Baby
