Cry Awhile lyrics

Well, I had to go down to see a guy named Mr. Goldsmith
Nasty, dirty, double-crossin , back-stabbin phony I didn t want to have to deal with
But I did it for you and all you gave me was a smile
Well, I cried for you, now it s your turn to cry awhile

I don t carry dead weight, I m no flash in the pan
All right, I ll set you straight, can t you see I m a union man
I m lettin the cat out of the cage, I m keepin a low profile
Well, I cried for you, now it s your turn, you can cry awhile

Feel like a fightin rooster, feel better than I ever felt
But the Pennsylvania line s in an awful mess and the Denver road is a-goin to melt
I went to the Church house, everyday I go an extra mile
Well, I cry for you, now your turn, you can cry awhile

Last night, cross the alley, there was a poundin on the wall
It must have been Don Pasquale makin a 2 a.m. booty call
To break a trusted heart like mine was just your style
Well, I cried for you, now it s your turn to cry awhile

I m on the fringes of the night fightin back tears that I can t control
Some people they ain t human, they ain t got no heart or soul
But I m a-cryin to the Lord, tryin to be meek and mild
Yes, I cried for you, now it s your turn, you can cry awhile

Well the preacher s in the pulpit and the babiis in their cribs
I m longin for that sweet fat that sticks to your ribs
I m goin t buy me a barrel of whisky, I ll die before I turn senile
Yes, I cried for you, now it s your turn, you can cry awhile

Well, you bet on the horses, they ran the wrong way
I always said you d be sorry and today could be the day
I might need a good lawyer, could be a funeral mad trial
Well, I cried for you, now it s your turn, you can cry awhile
