BECAUSE OF YOU

Dan Johnson
Preacher said, then the teacher said, and momma cried, when she said
It was because of you,
And Lucinda Williams
Whispering …
(Oh, I can’t say what you were whispering)
In my ears…
But it was because of you
That I became lonely and Robert Cray blue.
It is hard to follow or even comprehend
How my life could have bent
Like a newly planted willow
Not yet trained to weep
Because of you, I was left
In the pouring rain,
Enduring, endlessly through the pain,
Never breaking, constantly twisting and turning,
Like an uninvited summer wind blowing and burning,
Because of you and Lucinda, and the pain of ungodly sin,
I can still hear Dwaine Eddy slice through a sweet refrain
And
Because of you, I would do it all over, again.
