lyrics

I took a walk by the people on the porches just a swingin' in the rhythm of the wind, thinking about
We both had another lover not a year ago
Your papa was a song, the hymn hangs above you just enough to keep you clapping out of time
Singing "Oh my my, say bye before we start something up"

You've come a long way from Rio Hondo, baby
Your daddy ain't drunk and you ain't poor no more
Why you gotta act this way? I think I better say something
Cuz I'm crawling 'round blind and tryin' to find my glasses on the floor

You stole my heart and you helped me look for it just enough to keep me coming around
Like a candle turning shadows into picture shows
Lonely little girl looking out for her brother with her mother's apron dragging on the ground
You say you love me but your face can't decide whether it wants to start swingin' or just pick up and run

You've come a long way from Rio Hondo, baby
Your daddy ain't drunk and you ain't poor no more
Why you gotta act this way? I think I better say something
Cuz I'm crawling 'round blind and trying to find my glasses on the floor

Say the word and I'll be gone, gone, gone, my dear
I won't interfere

You've come a long way from Rio Hondo, baby
Your daddy ain't drunk and you ain't poor no more
Why you gotta act this way? I think I better say something
Cuz I'm crawling 'round blind and trying to find my glasses on the floor

You've come a long way from Rio Hondo, baby
Your daddy ain't drunk and you ain't poor no more
Why you gotta act this way? I think I better say something
You got me crawling 'round blind and trying to find my glasses on the floor
Yeah I'm crawling 'round blind and trying to find my glasses on the floor
