Wet Willie - Lucy Was in Trouble

Copied!

One day I was driving on a dusty road
Lucy was hitchhiking carryin her load
She said she was in trouble trouble with her man
When she tired to love him he would not understand

Ooh Lucy
Oh come on Lucy
Lucy was in trouble

She looked so down and lonesome it hurt me down inside
I just had to stop (yes I did) there and give that girl a ride
She'd been to see her mama to see what she could do
Her mama she was sinkin her daddy left her too

Ooh Lucy
Oh come on Lucy
Lucy was in trouble
Lucy was in trouble

And I know how she feels cause sometimes
I get to feelin that same way too
And I know that it's real cause
I've been through the same thing she's going through

{Instrumental Bridge}
Lucy was in trouble
Lucy was in trouble
Lucy was in trouble
Lucy was in trouble

{Outro}
Well he seems like the kind of a guy who would show me that he understand
One who would love me and even if I got in trouble he would still be my man
Lucy was in trouble
Lucy was in trouble
Lucy was in trouble
Lucy was in trouble
