Lyrics Tina - Tony Joe White

Tina you could never know
The many times I think about you I can't let it go
But I know there's never enough time with so many
Promises to keep
And the world lying at your feet
I went down to your hometown just cruisin' around
And that old cotton gin had turned to rust
I could almost see your footprints lying there in
The
Dust
When you were just a young girl

Tina I know you've paid the price and you left it
All so
Far behind
But the memories linger still and the storm rolled
Across
The field

If the day should ever come when your smile is
Just a
Motion
And you feel that you might need someone
You know I'd cross that ocean
I would never have to think twice you're part of
My life
And whatever path you choose Tina you know we pull
For
You
You just keep on taking us higher you are the fire
