Sister Double Happiness – You for You [Heart & Mind, 1991]

Sometimes I think about leaving home
Just pulling up stakes and go wandering
I don’t know where I belong
I hope what I’m doing is right
Lord, I pray I’m not wrong

‘Cause you know when you make mistakes
It’s really hard to right those wrongs
And you know when you cross life’s bridges
They are just as good as burned
And you know when you think that you’ve got it
It all just falls apart, don’t it?

I was hoping you would come along
Baby, there to keep me strong
I will keep you strong, too
I will never try to hold you down
I want you to stay around
I love you for you

‘Cause you know when you make mistakes
It’s really hard to right those wrongs
And you know when you cross life’s bridges
They are just as good as burned
And you know when you think that you’ve got it
It all just falls apart, don’t it?

I was hoping you would come with me
Baby, stay around to see
I will never do you wrong
I will never try to hold you down
I want you to stay around
Babe, I love you for you

Freight Train – Sister Double Happiness – SST 1988

Freight Train

I wake up in the middle of the night
My skin is like a block of ice
Hot sweat pouring out of me
I got the plague of the century

(Chorus)
It’s like a freight train
It’s like an airplane
It’s like a hurricane
Taking me away

I was as good as i could be
My skin smooth as ivory
I swear to God i hardly messed around
That modern plague put me into the ground

(chorus)

I call my mama, she said “Don’t come home”
My friends shun me, I’m all alone
Before they touch me they put on gloves
C’mon, people, I need some love

(chorus)
