Gregg Allman Album

Well, I've got to run to keep from hiding
And I'm bound to keep on riding
And I've got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider

And I don't own the clothes I'm wearing
And the road goes on forever
And I've got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider

I've gone by the point of caring
Some old bed I'll soon be sharing
And I've dropped one more silver dollar

No, I'm not gonna let em catch me, no
Not gonna let them catch the midnight rider
No, I'm not gonna let em catch me, no
Not gonna let them catch the midnight rider
No, I'm not gonna let em catch me, no
Not gonna let them catch the midnight rider

Once I was glad
Always happy, never sad
And every day
Seemed like Sunday

And although things were slow
And never seemed to have no dough
Somehow
I never once got lonely

Ya see the fact is more or less
You're gamblin' with your own happiness
And most all your would be friends
Turn out so phony

Oh, but times they change and rearrange
And I'll sing to the Queen of Hearts
Don't know where to start
Or how to stop

And after things have come and gone
Left me feelin' that I've done so wrong
Oh, I've wasted so much time
Feelin' guilty

And as I watch you sit across the room
Beautiful as the flowers bloom
T'leave it lay just one day
Oh, brother you're gonna come back to find it gone

I love you Queen of Hearts
Tell me not to stop
Just tell me where to start
Where now baby, tell me where to start

And after all that we've been through
I find that when I think of you
A warm soft wind runs through and through
And in my heart there's only you

And I will always keep on trying
To gather this strange piece of mind
Without it there'd be lonely me and
Oh, darlin' lonely you

I love you Queen of Hearts
Don't tell me when to stop
Tell me when to start
Tell now baby
Tell me when to start

Take one last look before you leave
'Cause oh, somehow it means so much to me.
If you ever need me you know just where I'll be
Please call home if you change your mind.

I guess I saw it coming day by day
Oh, but I could not stand the failure
Before you leave, there's just one thing I must say
Please call home if you change your mind

Oh, and I know, you're used to running
You're lost baby and I ain't funnin'
If you call to me baby I'll come runnin'
Straight to your side
Again I'll confide in you

Girl, go ahead on, I won't say no more
My heart ain't in it but I'll hold the door
Just remember what I said before
Please call home if you change your mind
Please call home if you change your mind

Ain't nobody in the whole wide world

Mess up the best damn thing you ever gonna have yeah

Well I've been out walking
I don't do that much talking these days
These days, these days I seem to think a lot
About the things I forgot to do, for you
And all the times I had a chance to

Well I've had a lover
I don't think I'll risk another these days
These days, these days I seem to be afraid
Live the life that I've made in song
But it's just that I have been losing, so long

These days I sit on the corner stone
Count the time in quarter tones of ten, my friend
And now I believe I want to see myself again

These days I sit on the corner stone
Count the time in quarter tones till ten, my friend
Please don't confront me with my failure
I'm aware of them

Got on a bus in Memphis,
Destination Rome.
Georgia ain't no paradise
but a place I just call home.
I sat next to a broken hearted bride
She was cryin', tryin' so hard to hide
her selfish sorrow.

I tried to get her talkin'
She didn't have much to say
She asked me for a map to death row
But I didn't know the way
She had lost a million in the game
One look out the window at the pine trees and the rain
It wasn't her day.

Multicolored lady
you ain't like no rainbow I've ever seen
Multicolored lady
Angry red, passion blue, but mostly shades of green

Midnight came and brought more rain,
nothing seemed to ease her pain.
The hours that we talked seemed like minutes all in vein.
I watched as her tears kept runnin' wide
Bye and bye and bye, way back after a while
She started smilin'.

Multicolored lady
You ain't like no rainbow I've ever known.
Multicolored lady
Come go with me, I'll take you to my home

Oh, by the way, I'm bound for Rome.

It's all gone, for the last time it seems
And it's a shame, all the feelings were lost in our
Things we had were fine, yeah
If we had to have them all the time
Some day we'll find should have relied on time
(Some day we'll find should have relied on time)

All my friends came to see me this year, oh yeah
And I was there to have them care, whoa
And maybe we've gone away
We can come back any old day
If we find how to rely on time, whoa
(If we find how to rely on time)

And maybe we've gone away
We can come back any old day
If we find how to rely on time
(If we find how to rely on time)

All my love wrote to me through the years
About the way friends can laugh at their fears
Though it's a
The better part of you
Make it all come true
If we find how to rely on time
(If we find how to rely on time)
If we find how to rely on time

I was standing by my window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw the hearse come rollin'
For to take my mother away

I told the undertaker
"Undertaker, please drive slow
'Cause that lady that you are haulin'
Oh, I hate to see her go"

Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

So, I followed close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hold my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave

Oh, tell me when the circle be unbroken?
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Will the circle be unbroken?
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Tell me, when the circle be unbroken?
Oh, by and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

When the circle be unbroken?
By and by, Lord, by and by
Oh there's a better home away
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
