Bettye LaVette ft. Ray Parker Jr., Jon Batiste - Mess About It Lyrics

I came back from Alabama
Everything had changed
There was something different
Bout the way you looked
I been seeing little pictures
Running in my mind
Like your flower dress On the nightsrtand

I'm a mess about it
I'm a mess about it

When you're burning daylight
And you're almost home
Little things can wind their way
inside of you
and your smile gets stolen
by the thieving sun
got a stranglehold
on the steering wheel
I said I...I...I... I...I....

I'm a mess about it
I'm a mess about it
I got people down in Mobile
Live in a silver box
Do you want me to get them all involved
They make trouble everywhere they go
They got history you don't want to know
They cant stand to see us suffering

I'm a mess about it
I'm a mess about it

Is there something you can tell me
Make your heart come clean
Is their something on that little mind of yours
I got people up in Charlotte
Where the mean wind blows
They will help us anyway they can

I'm a mess about it
I'm a mess about it
