The Gourds
The Way You Can Get
I know the way you can get
When you ain't had a drink of love-when you can't see the stars above
When people are greedy and mean-when only the worst can be seen
When life take an ugly turn-when you refuse to learn
When you lost what you had before-when yer lost in another store
When you sleep in a strangers place-when you can't wash yer face
When the wine is too sweet too soothe- when the groove is to blue to move
When the bread is too stale to share-when the night is too long to care
When trouble just follows you-when sorrow just swallows you
When worry knocks on yer door-when sadness sleeps on yer floor
When the soul hears a lonely sound-when God don't come around
