I was born in the wagon of a traveling show My momma used to dance for the money they'd throw Papa would do whatever he could Preach a little Gospel,
My father married a pure Cherokee My mother's people were ashamed of me The indians said that I was white by law The white man always called me "Indian
Now I ain't lookin' to compete with you Beat on, cheat on, mistreat you Simplify you, classify you Deny, defy, mystify you All I really want to do Is
Take me home Take me home Want to feel you close to me Take me home Take me home With you is where I wanna be Wrapped in your arms tonight Just makin
When you're standin' on the edge of nowhere There's only one way up So your heart's gotta go there Through the darkest night See the light shine bright
two-eyed jack My eyes saw red but the card still stayed black She said the man you love is secretly true To someone else who is very close to you My
I can't figure you out But a heart must be the one thing You were born without I've been wastin' my time I don't know where I'll sleep tonight You say
Don't you know So many things they come and go? Like your words that once rang true Just like the love I thought I found in you And I remember the thunder
[Chorus:] The beat goes on, the beat goes on Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain La de da de de, la de da de da Charleston was once the rage,

I can't figure you out But a heart must be the one thing you were born without I've been wasting my time I don't know where I'll sleep tonight You say
Beneath the white fire of the moon Love's wings are broken all too soon We never learn Hurt together, hurt alone Don't you sometimes wish Your heart
When you pray with every breath You know that is free as the love you have Where does it end It's too much for me to take There's no peace, you close
I don't need your sympathy There's nothing you can say or do for me And I don't want a miracle You'll never change for no one I hear your reasons why
I've been standing out in the rain I've been calling your name Got that lonely feeling again Calling out your name Do you hear me? Do you want me? Baby
Does he love me I wanna know How can I tell if he loves me so Is it in his eyes? Oh no you'll be deceived Is it in his eyes? Oh no he'll make believe
When you're standing on the edge of nowhere There's only one way up So your heart's got to go there Through the darkest night See the light shine bright
