We've been together for a million years Standing upright and tall We've seen folks walk a trail of tears We can't say we haven't seen it all If I wanna leave, I can go I've got a life that's mine If you say that you don't love me I can say you're lying You can't say that I don't love you I've got faith in God above you He's got love enough for us all We've been broke, we've been weeping I can't say that he's been sleeping He's the one who made me write this song You say your shoes are useless God gave them a million uses He wants you to get off your lazy tail On my break I see your photo Doesn't mean I'm coming back God is god Faith is fact You can't say that I don't love you I've got faith in God above you He's got love enough for us all We've been broke, we've been weeping I can't say that he's been sleeping He's the one who made me write this song I feel like it's been a million years Since I was upright and tall But they need me in Texas To build that southern wall If I wanna leave, I can go I have a life that's mine If they say that I don't love them I can say they're lying You can't say that I don't love you I've got faith in God above you He's got love enough for us all We've been broke, we've been weeping I can't say that he's been sleeping He's the one who made me write this song

My baby got me senseless I can hear a word she's saying I love her so much I'm drinking and giving up on praying My baby got me senseless I can't even see my kids What they've done in school is or what they're teacher says A photograph ain't useless if it makes you live one day With your body in a foreign land and your baby far away My baby got me senseless I can't taste her on my lips All I've got's a memory from 1966 My baby got me senseless I can't feel my phantom limbs That I received in a war or two because living is a sin A photograph ain't useless if it makes you live one day With your body in a foreign land and your baby far away You know I've been thinking a lot baby Looking at your picture and all About the times that we used to be together When we used to be in love Looking at this photo of your curly hair I know I'm still in love with you I may not look like a whole lot these days I may not be able to do a whole lot for you, the kids, for me or anybody But I was wondering if maybe I could just come home What do you say, baby? My baby got me senseless I can't smell the gasoline That he had poured on me just to see me scream My baby got me senseless which is neither here nor there Because when you got no body, your body's everywhere A photograph ain't useless even if it makes you feel that way Though it may not be the reality, the memory can blow you away
