I was standin' in the breadline Outside Heaven's gate Ready to take whatever they gave To those who would but wait They were promising salvation; They were handing out lucky breaks And you get more then you bargain for when your heart awakes They called me Million Dollar Lily I'm just a twenty-five dollar fake I could use a slug of liquor Man I could drain a lake I left my baby up in Washington I said it was for her sake You get more then you bargain for when your heart awakes Yeah you get more then you ever bargain for when for when your heart awakes I see the sun going down down down And taste the salt of the sea I fall down and cry out loud "Oh God have mercy on me" He's gonna make me a loser like my father With the boys around the lake You get more then you bargain for when your heart awakes Yeah you get more then you ever bargain for when for when your heart awakes Out on the Cherokee reservation My father pays for his mistakes Ridin' on a narrow road for those the world forsakes It will not buy my back my innocence or break my falls from grace You get more then you bargained for when your heart awakes Yeah you get more then you ever bargained for when for when your heart awakes Yeah you get more then you ever bargained for when for when your heart awakes
