"My Mind's Eye" (Manning) My Mind’s Eye There’s a buzzard on my shoulder waitin’ for my heart to break There’s a Greyhound bound for Abiline I know I’ll never make An’ I’m diggin’ out a mountain just for mountain diggin’s sake This ain’t no place for a man to be alone But maybe… Some day I’ll make it down to Abiline Get shiny boots and be a city guy Loneliness can change a man's philosophy I can win you back in my mind’s eye Well the desert sun’s a devil and it fries my achin’ brain It has dried up all my blood, I got sweat flowin’ in my veins And I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m a little bit insane This ain’t no place for a man to be alone But maybe… Some day I’ll make it down to Abiline Get shiny boots and be a city guy Loneliness can change a man's philosophy I can win you back in my mind’s eye Well you didn’t have to leave me for that phoney college boy You didn’t have to toss me like a broken worn-out toy You left with grand illusions that you'd found the Real McCoy And left me standing here alone Chorus and repeat © 2003 Gerry Manning
