'Cause I need a cup of coffee and a moment of your time

I stole a woman in Tennessee

       Am               D
and we made love in the sun

          G                 D
But I ran out of places and friendly faces

Em                  Bm
Because I had to be free

I've been to paradise but I've never been to me

Won't you share a part of an old mans heart

On the day before he dies

We wrecked a southern jail

              G                       D
I've seen the best men crawl and some teardrops fall

            Em              Bm
There ain't nothing I ain't seen

someone they couldn't find

For things I left behind

I thought my heart could wait but I learned too late

Only love can make people free
