Oh oh oh hey hey hey hey

Hmm

O yeah

Whoa whoa whoa

Yeah hmm

Whoa whoa whoa

Hey mister hey mister

I just want a dime

'Cause I need a cup of coffee

And a moment of your time

I can tell you reason in hell

The way I used to do

But I wish someone had to talked to me

Like I wanna talk to you

Listen

I've been to Georgia and California

And anywhere I could run

Stole a woman in Tennessee

And we made love in the sun

But I ran out of places and friendly faces

Because I had to be free

I've been to paradise

But I've never been to me

Thanks mister thanks mister

But please don't walk away

'Cause I have this need to tell you

Why I'm all alone today

I can see so much of me still living in your eyes

Won't you share a part of an old man's heart

Just once before he dies

I've been to China and Asia Minor

On any ship that would sail

Made some noise with some good old boys

And we wrecked southern jail

I've seen the best men crawl and some teardrops fall

There ain't nothing I didn't see

I've been to paradise

But I've never been to me

Oh no oh

Oh no

I've even been to marriage

Children cry for someone they couldn't find

Never knowing that I was searching

For things I left behind

I thought my heart could wait

But I learned too late

Only love can make people free

I've been to paradise

I've been to paradise

But I've never been

To me

Been to Georgia California anywhere I could run

Stole a woman in Tennessee

I don't want you to make the same mistakes I've made

Out of places friendly faces

'Cause I had to be free

I've been to paradise

I know you want to you wanna be free

My son please please listen to me

I

I wanna help you huh

Oh no

I've never been to me

Don't walk away oh no

I got more I got more

I got more to say hey

I've seen the best man crawl and some teardrops fall

I've been all over the world

I've been to paradise

Oh yeah

So I can let you see

So you can have just a judgment of this time

I believe I can get older

I can get across

I can get through

I can get next to the man

Hey hey I got to I got to talk to him

I didn't have the chance myself

I wish somebody would've

I wish they could have just talk to me

Like I want to talk to you

Hey hey hey hey I know you've understood
