Jerry Leger - Mansion Round The Bend lyrics

I thought of you this morning I've been thinking of you again Tonight I'm a poor carpenter Waiting for my shift to end And I'll come to my pearl My good luck girl In our mansion round the bend I put your picture in my wallet And place a letter on the bed Alone on highway 69 I'd rather be with you instead To see the leaves dance into your hair And sway like a summer dress In our mansion round the bend Where the porch door Talks like the oak floors Scratched and fading with age Romantic antique cabinets Paint just chipping away I'm not much on parties Rather walk down a quiet road To the outskirts of the city With you on my arm Under Sudbury stars It don't matter where we stand We'll see our mansion round the bend The phone out here is busted And the car don't work too good But honey keep me company On that '53 Chevy hood I can feel the dusty night On your soft warm hands In our mansion round the bend I can feel the dusty night On your soft warm hands In our mansion round the bend In our mansion round the bend
