Tell you man I'm stuck on this lovely girl
Of course to me you' know she mean all the world
But then she like another guy
I fall down dead she never see the tears I cry
Please please please do not go
How long can the days go on
When my love is so strong
And I know I cannot tell a lie
I want to see him go bye
Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye

Now I wonder what she would say
If I told her that I felt this way
Why know it might make her turn either way
So all I can do is patiently pray
Pray pray pray pray
Tell you man I'm stuck on this lovely girl
And why know I could travel all over the whole world
Please please please do not go
You hurt me so
I got something to show you

    General Comment:I saw them open with this song in Alaska (of all places), they stopped playing when some a-hole shoved me from behind and started a big scene......long story short I talked my way back in (after showing the manager where his bouncers absurd necklace had cut my neck when he was "escorting" me out) I enjoyed the rest of the show, especially the encore (country death song) and I even got Brian Ritchies autograph.
