Lyrics Cry One More Time - 1973 Live Version - Gram Parsons

Cry one more time for you
I really got it bad
Cry one more time for you
I lost the best I had

Everthing's gone wrong
I need another beer
She's got her mind on leavin'
That's what I'm doin' here

Ain't no sense to talkin'
I don't know what I'd say
Ain't no sense to argue
She just don't wanna stay

Cry one more time for you
I really got it bad
Cry one more time for you
I lost the best I had

So sad to be alone at night
So sad it didn't work out right

Cry one more time for you
I really got it bad
Cry one more time for you
I lost the best I had

Tried to call her last night, yes I did
I knew she wasn't in
I don't want to go uptown
I know she'll be with him

Cry one more time for you
I really got it bad
Cry one more time for you
I lost the best I had
Lost the best I had, lost the best I had
Lost the best I had, lost the best I had

Thank you very much, Long Island
We appreciate it
Baltimore, streets of (great city)
Camouflaged green (yeah), strike four
One olive drab

I'm gonna go do a card trick
Aw, I know that one
We're gon' tune I think
Don't get so silent on us

Some people, we had a DJ the other night
And we ripped his EBS box afterwards
Which is our emergency broadcasting system
Which tells us all if the Third World War is coming or not

His EBS box kept humming and jumping up and down
While we were doing an interview, and so he said:
"Hey man, do you know how to disconnect that thing?"
And I was sitting behind and I said, "Yeah, sure I do"
"What's this?" And I took it apart

And this g-, this guy was named Rusty Bell
On K-O-K-E Radio
That's the truth, the solid truth
I swear, would I lie to you? I wouldn't lie to you (Austin, Texas)
He wanted to know what we thought of continental countries
Progressive countries, tell him we played regressive countries

We kept doing these things like, answering his questions with a...
And on the radio that didn't sound really great
You can say, "Well, yes"
And the guy stuck with the, "Oh what should I ask you next, oh I don't know"
Anybody who is not watching and who's listening
I'm nodding no

And that's the same thing, that's the same thing
As playing cards on the radio, Rusty Bell got what he deserved
Beat up EBS box (anyway)
This song is, anyway (anyway)
This song is about a little resort town on the East Coast

And it has absolutely nothing to do with Johnny Unite
Nothing to do with Johnny Unite, it's a beautiful shade of grey
Everyone should try and make it there once and a while
Just to complete their colour chart (one, two, three, four)
