Blinded By the Light - Manfred Mann's Earth Band

I met a woman in West Virginia She said her name was Alabama She from a little town outside Savannah Where everybody talk that country grammar She said she killed a man down in Atlanta He beat her and he drank till he couldn't stand up He told her that he loved her but he couldn't stand her She caught him in his sleep hit him with a hammer Then she sold her car and she bought a gun Johnny Law got her on the run Another broken bottle and the damage done We've all been blinded by the sun Blinded by the sun Her breathe was sweet, her eyes were pretty She said her zodiac sign was Cancer She was on her way to New York City Trying to get a job there as a dancer Then she asked if she could ride home with me Now I'm still thinking on the answer She pulled on love, she don't take pity She'll break your heart if you give her the chance to Miss Bama got an Uzi and it weighs a ton Johnny Law got her on the run Another broken bottle and the damage done We've all been blinded by the sun, Blinded by the sun Lord have mercy on me for all the things I've done I've lost my mind, my eyes were blinded by the sun Don't forsake me Lord I'm not the only one I've lost my mind, my eyes were blinded by the sun Blinded by the sun Miss Bama got an Uzi and it weighs a ton Johnny Law got her on the run Another broken bottle and the damage done We've all been blinded by the sun Blinded by the sun

The queen of the Nile She laid on her throne And she was drifting downstream On a barge that was burnished with gold Royal purple the sails So sweetly perfumed And poor Mark Antony's Senses were drowned And his future was doomed He was blinded by love He was blinded by love The Philistines paid For Samson's blind rage The secrets that two lovers share Should never have been betrayed He was blinded by love He was blinded by love Now it's no use crying or weeping You better lock up your soul for safe keeping Promise me The poor Prince of Wales He gave up his crown All for the trivial pursuit of A parvenu second-hand lady So lovers beware If you lose your heart Careful now, don't lose your mind Don't mortgage your soul to a stranger Don't be blinded by love Don't be blinded by love Blinded by love Blinded by love
