Avenging Annie Lyrics

We ran through hills and forests

As two under a spell

He was a city boy, Floyd the outlaw

But I thought I knew him well

Long after that great summer

When I first came into my fame

And the avenger from Oklahoma

Was added to my name

The avenger I became

Well, they call me avenging Annie

I'm avenger of womanhood

I spend my whole life telling lies

Lead you on and mess you over good

I take all you spoiled young hippies

Running around, playing games

Mess around in your bed

I'll blow your head

I'll put you through a change

What you've done to others

I'll do unto you

And then I met my

Sensitive outlaw

He was the best thing

I had ever seen

I wanna be his wife

Forgiving my life

I was so blind

I could never have seen, no

So I joined up with my outlaw

And headed for California

He treated me worse

Than I ever imagined

He even say

He don't want me around

Kept it up so long

I couldn't be strong

He run me right into the ground

After five long years

He picked me up andAndy Pratt - Avenging Annie - http://motolyrics.com/andy-pratt/avenging-annie-lyrics.html

Then he slapped me down

When I told my friends about him

They all were on my side

But I could see through the haze

He looked so crazy

I put my head right down

And I cried

For my poor lover

I cried like a mother

For my poor lover

Well, I felt so sad about it

But I knew I couldn't do him no good

He was so far gone

Standing all alone

I left him, I knew I should

I knew I couldn't do him no good

And now I live out on a mountain top

And I'm almost thirty-five

And I've found my peace

And I've found my release

And I'm happy just to be alive

And I might go back to my Floyd

If I think it's the thing to do

He gave up murder and theft

Right after I left

And you know I still love him too

Just like your woman loves you

Just like your woman loves you

Just like your woman loves you

Just like your woman loves you...

Well, they call me avenging Annie

I'm avenger of womanhood

I spend my whole life telling lies

Lead you on and mess you over, yeah

They call me avenging Annie

I'm avenger of womanhood

I spend my whole life telling lies

Lead you on and mess you over, yeah
