Earth Wind And Fire - TAKE IT TO THE SKY lyrics

Lejos and Mary

Lay dazed in Liula

Dreaming of tropical signs

As Lejos lay sleeping

She knelt over him weeping

Feeling the weight of his crimes

It seems he cut a man down in a Tennessee town

And he's just licking his wounds for a spell

But it won't take long for the boys to catch on

And soon he'll be running like hell

Run Lejos run

This ain't no time for that ball and chain

Run Lejos run

Climb on that pony and ride like you never done

Ride like you never done

Well their love it was long

It was gentle and strong

And for a while she forgot his sins

And she kissed him for love

She kissed him for luck

She kissed him one time for a kid

Well they came in without a warning in the hours before morning

They come-a blasting through the windows and walls

And when the smoke it did clear

somebody cried out he ain't here

Killed ourselves a woman that's all

Run Lejos run

This ain't no time for that ball and chain

Run Lejos run

Climb on that pony and ride like you never done

Ride like you never done
