Williams’ Blood

Lyrics

[Intro] You can't save me You can't save a wretch like me [Verse 1] When she was seventeen She married a preacher man And she settled down In a little part of town Followed him all around Having little babies Singing in a little church In a little ghost town [Interlude] She's so happy (I don't want to keep up, I can't keep up) She's so happy, keepin' up (I don't wanna keep up, keepin' up with the Joneses) [Verse 2] Finally, she told me Grandpa Dan traveled Playing on the road With Nat King Cole And he womanized Staying up all night Cruisin' up around the town From town to town to town [Refrain] Let me go (Ah, ah), I'm wicked (Ooh) Just let me go (Ah, ah), I'm going to care (Ooh) [Pre-Chorus] Why don't you be a Jones? Like your sister and your brother Noel When are you gonna be a Jones? You're just like your dad And Dan, God bless his soul, oh [Chorus] I've got the Williams' blood in me I've got the Williams' blood in me I've got the Williams' blood in me (Got the Williams' blood) I've got the Williams' blood in me In me, in me, in me, I feel it running through my veins My blood, the Williams' blood in me [Bridge] In a room full of doves I'm waiting for the angels Spreading my wings So I can fly [Refrain] Let me fly, I'm wicked (You can't save a wretch like me) Let me fly (Ah, ah), I'm wicked (Ooh) Just let me go (Ah, ah), I'm going to care Williams' prepared (Ooh) [Pre-Chorus] Why don't you be a Jones? Like your sister and your brother Noel They said, "When are you gonna be a Jones? You're just like your dad" And Dan, God bless his soul, oh [Chorus] I've got the Williams' blood in me (Got the Williams' blood) I've got the Williams' blood in me (Ooh, ooh) I've got the Williams' blood in me (Uh, never change, uh) I've got the Williams' blood in me (Ooh, ooh, ooh) Let me go (Oh) I've got the Williams' blood in me I'll never change, let me go (Let me go, ooh) Goin' to change (Let me go, ah, ah) Of the change, of the change (Let me go, ooh) Oh, oh, oh so ready, change (Let me go) For more people, let me go (Ooh, Williams' sweet, yeah) I don't wanna keep up, I can't keep up (Let me go, ah, ah) I don't wanna keep up, I can't keep up (Let me go, ooh) Got the Williams' blood in me (Let me go, ah, ah) I don't wanna keep up, I can't keep up (Let me go) I don't wanna keep up, I can't keep up (Let me go, ooh) I've got the Williams' blood in me [Outro] Amazing grace How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me
