Child on a painted horse
Streams that will run their course
Gone to a far away shore
Ooh, ooh, ah
My painted horse is weeping

Days of another kind
Frost gets a bruising vine
Why did the carpenter die
Ooh, ooh, ah
My painted horse is weeping

Sweet as a rose so fine
Peaceful as a final time
How old could the lion man cry
Ooh, ooh, ah
My painted horse is weeping

Thoughts of a winter moon
Warm in a distant room
Why did I fall asleep so soon
Ooh, ooh, ah
My painted horse is weeping

Naa na na naa na na naa na na naa
Naa na na naa na na naa na na naa

I got a certain little girl, she's on my mind
No doubt about it, she looks so fine
She's the best girl that I ever had
Sometimes she's gonna make me feel so bad

Naa na na naa na na naa na na naa
Naa na na naa na na naa na na naa

Hush hush - I thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush hush - She broke my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush hush - I thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush hush - I need your love and I'm not to blame now

Love love - They got it early in the morning
Love love - They got it late in the evening
Love love - Well I want that needing
Love love - Oh I gotta get ahead of it

She's got a love like quicksand
Only took one touch of her hand
Blow my mind and I'm in so deep
That I can't eat and I can't sleep

Naa na na naa na na naa na na naa
Naa na na naa na na naa na na naa

Listen...

Hush hush - I thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush hush - She broke my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush hush - Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush hush - I need that love and I'm not to blame now

Love love - They got it early in the morning
Love love - They got it late in the evening
Love love - Ooh I want that needing
Love love - Hey I gotta get ahead of it

Naa na na naa na na naa na na naa
Naa na na naa na na naa na na naa
Naa na na naa na na naa na na naa

Sweet child in time you'll see the line
The line that's drawn between the good and the bad
See the blind man shooting at the world
Bullets flying taking toll
If you've been bad, Lord I bet you have
And you've been hit by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes and bow your head
And wait for the ricochet

Black night is not right
I don't feel so bright
I don't care to sit tight
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
That I'm free, free to be me
Black night is a long way from home

I don't need a dark tree
I don't want a rough sea
I can't feel, I can't see
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
That I'm free, free to be me
Black night is a long way from home

Black night, black night
I don't need black night
I can't see dark night
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
That I'm free, free to be me
Black night is a long way from home

Pass your mother
Lose your brother
Be a lover, too
We'll all together make it better
You gotta cry free

Bridges burnin'
Eyes are turnin'
Now they're learnin' fools
They're gonna talk it over
While they're talkin'
You gotta cry free

Cry free

Fists are shakin'
Homes are breakin'
Know what's makin' blues
Oh true convictions
Satisfaction
While you cry free
