West Side Waltz - Eyes Wide Open

I took a red-eye flight out of New York City
Headin' west beyond the Mississippi
I got a girl I'm goin' to see
She's my baby, she needs me
So I'm runnin' ain't got no time
To sleep
Well, she as sweet as cream
But she a bad mamma jamma
Toughest little gal this side of Lou-siana
But she don't feel tough tonight
She said she need her daddy by her side
So I'm runnin' fit to beat that morning light
And I feel the blood poundin' in my head
I got a shakin' all through my legs
I been prayin' to the Lord to let me
Keep my eyes wide open
I feel the blood poundin' in my head
I got a shakin' all through my legs
I been prayin' to the Lord to let me
Keep my eyes wide open til I get to the end
Well hold on, baby
Daddy is a-comin'
I'm gonna give you
That sweet kinda lovin'
I'm gonna wipe those tears away
I'm gonna fight through all this pain
Well I'm comin' for you, baby, just you wait
And I feel the blood poundin' in my head
I got a shakin' all through my legs
I been prayin' to the Lord to let me
Keep my eyes wide open
I feel the blood poundin' in my head
I got a shakin' all through my legs
I been prayin' to the Lord to let me
Keep my eyes wide open til I get to the end
Well I put
One foot
Out in front of the other
(left right, left right, left right)
I think I need a coffee
Oh oooh
I think I need another
Oh yeah
I got to get on the plane
(Gonna get on the plane)
Gotta hop that train
(Gonna hop that train)
I'm gonna see my baby
At the break of day
I put one foot in front of the other
I think I need a coffee, I think I need another
Get on the plane
Hop that train
I'm a-see my baby at the break of day
And I feel the blood poundin' in my head
I got a shakin' all through my legs
I been prayin' to the Lord to let me
Keep my eyes wide open
I feel the blood poundin' in my head
I got a shakin' all through my legs
I been prayin' to the Lord to let me
Keep my eyes wide open til I get to the end
(Til I get to the end)
Til I get to the end
(Til I get to the end)
Til I get to the end
(Til I get to the end)
Lord let me get to the end
