Reuben James
In my song you live again
And the phrase that I rhyme
Are just a footstep out of time
From the time when I knew you
Reuben James
Reuben James, all the folks around Hadison County
Cussed your name
You re just a no-count, sharecropping colored man
You d steal anything you can
And everybody laid the blame on Reuben James
Reuben James, for you still walk
Over fields of my mind
Faded shirt, weathered brow
Colored hands upon the plow
Loved you then and I love you now

Reuben James
For a grave
The gossiper of Hadison County died with chide
Although your skin was black
You were the one that didn t turn your back
On the hungry white child with no name
Reuben James, Reuben James
With your mind on the soul
And a bottle in your right hand
You said turn the other cheek
For there s a better world awaiting for the meek
In my mind these words remain from Reuben James

Reuben James one dark cloudy day
They brought you from the field
And to your lonely crambox
Came just a preacher
Me and the rain
Just to sing one last refrain to Reuben James

The way you treat me baby
Cheat and tell me lies
I guess I shouldn t care at all
But still I sympathize
Cause you got heart trouble comin on
Yeah you got heart trouble comin on
Well you think that...

Is it my eyes
Is it the way you make me feel
Is it how i caress your skin

I wanna know
Cause I´m feeling lost inside
Is there a way to let me in?

Now i know you can make it
There´s is now way you can...

Well she walks like you in so many ways
It s a different look
It s a different time of day
One look in her eyes
How can I make you understand
She s the one good thing that s happened in so many years...

People talking, and they re saying that you re leavin
You re so unhappy with the way that you ve been livin

Chorus:
Oh oh oh - we always wish for money, we always wish for fame
We think we have the answers, some things ain t ever gonna change
