Lyrics
“Blind man wavin’ by the side of the road
I’m in a flat bed Ford carrying a heavy load
With a sweet thing sippin’ on a blueberry wine
On a flat black highway down in Carolina
Black bird slippin’ in a sky of blue
All I’m thinkin’ about is you, baby
All I’m thinkin’ about is you, honey
All I’m thinkin’ about is you, baby
All I’m thinkin’ about is you
Ain’t nothin’ in this world I can do about it
All I’m thinkin’ about is you
Little boy carryin’ a fishin’ pole
Little girl pickin’ berries straight off of the vine
Brown bag filled with a little green toad
We hook ’em through the lip and throw ’em off of the line
Your sweet brown legs got me feeling so blue
All I’m thinkin’ about is you, baby
All I’m thinkin’ about is you
All I’m thinkin’ about is you, baby
All I’m thinkin’ about is you
Ain’t nothin’ in this world I can do about it
All I’m thinkin’ about is you
Black car shinin’ on a Sunday morn
Mama go to church now, Mama go to church now
Friday night daddy’s shirt is torn
Daddy’s goin’ downtown, daddy’s goin’ downtown
Ain’t no one understand this sweet thing we do
All I’m thinkin’ about is you, baby
All I’m thinkin’ about is you
All I’m thinkin’ about is you, baby
All I’m thinkin’ about is you
Ain’t nothin’ in this world I can do about it
All I’m thinkin’ about is you
Field turned up, the seed is sowed
Rain comin’ in from over ‘cross the road
Big black curtain coming ‘cross the field
Blind ‘ll see, the lame will be healed
Brown eyed girl, I turned my back on you, now it’s lonely
All I’m thinkin’ about is you, babe
All I’m thinkin’ about is you
All I’m thinkin’ about is you, babe
All I’m thinkin’ about is you,
Ain’t nothin’ in this world take away these blues
All I’m thinkin’ about is you
All I’m thinkin’ about is you, babe
All I’m thinkin’ about is you
All I’m thinkin’ about is you
All I’m thinkin’ about is you
Ain’t nothin’ in this world I can do about it
All I’m thinkin’ about is you”
