lyrics

Melody, won’t you come back down?
Melody, ain't it time to come around?
we miss you when your love can’t be found

Melody, honey, can I take you for a ride?
Melody, yeah, don’t you think that its time?
that you come along with me, and ease your mind

it was the hardest night that you ever did see
with the rain in your eyes and a feelin’ so mean 
singin ‘hallelujah’ with a great big noise
rockin-and a-rollin with the Preacher boys
Melody, honey, ain’t it time to get away
you gotta save yourself, girl you know there’s a better way

it was the hardest night that you ever did see
with the rain in your eyes and a feelin’ so mean 
singin ‘hallelujah’ with a great big noise
rockin-and a-rollin with the Preacher boys
Melody, honey, ain’t it time to get away
save yourself, girl, you know there’s a better way

Melody, baby, ain’t it time to let it go?
Melody, honey, you won’t know until ya know
there's no place left to run to, so come back home
and when there's no one left to run with, you’ll just stay home

Hank Barbee North Carolina

Guitar player, balladeer, and self-reflective life-mender all rolled up in a lanky package of boyish charm. ...an interesting evolution...combine dirty blues, roots-rock, thumb-style "Travis picking", surf, dixieland and western swing… throw in some heavy life experience and meaningful lyrical content… what’s for dinner is a rich stew of the last 100+ years of American musical heritage... ... more
