Shine It On Lyrics

Shine it on, my man
Forget your troubles if you can
I′ll hold you 'til the dawn
Shine it on, shine it on
You′ve been too long on the road
And you're ready to explode
Come and lighten up your load
Shine it on

We had love and not much more
But dreams just for free
We sure got a lot of that
Dad and Mom and me
He'd let me steer on the straightaways
As we drove from town to town
We knew that Daddy′s gypsy blood
Wouldn′t let him settle down

There were times he'd sit right down
And just plain hang his head
But he′d always lift it up and smile
Whenever Mama said

Shine it on, my man
Forget your troubles if you can
I'll hold you ′til the dawn
Shine it on, shine it on
You've been too long on the road
And you′re ready to explode
Come and lighten up your load
Shine it on

Papa's gone but Lord his blood
Is a-runnin' through my veins
Mama′s gone to find him
So she can ease my pain
Another woman holds me now
In a little different way
Now I know why Papa smiled
When he heard Mama say

Shine it on, my man
Forget your troubles if you can
I′ll hold you 'til the dawn
Shine it on, shine it on
You′ve been too long on the road
And you're ready to explode
Come and lighten up your load
Shine it on

Shine it on, my man
Forget your troubles if you can
I′ll hold you 'til the dawn
Shine it on, shine it on
You′ve been too long on the road
And you're ready to explode
Come and lighten up your load
Shine it on
