Orphan Annie

Riding in planes and hailing cabs Been on the road so long Looking for the sunshine every day That I've been missing so long It's just two blocks over, one street across Uptown around and down But there musta been something just hiding out somewhere Someplace I ain't found Annie, orphan Annie Are your Nashville nights still warm? Somewhere to the west of town Well, it's coming up a storm Are your rivers dark and muddy Where the green swamp willows grow? Nine more days and I'll be home Lord, back in off the road Picking and grinning, and playing their games Listen to what I say I wish I were down in Nashville town About Fifth and Broadway Where the Cumberland rows, the soft wind blows And home, it ain't far away But here I sit in New York City Just hanging out everyday Annie, orphan Annie Are your Nashville nights still warm? Somewhere to the west of town Well, it's coming up a storm Are your rivers dark and muddy Where the green swamp willows grow? Nine more days and I'll be home Lord, back in off the road Annie, orphan Annie Are your Nashville nights still warm? Somewhere to the west of town It's coming up a storm Are your rivers dark and muddy Where the green swamp willows grow? Nine more days and I'll be home Lord, back in off the road Nine more days and I'll be home, oooo Lord, back in off the road
