Crystal Clear

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Daylight's comin' in I guess the blanket's gettin' thin And every shadow on my skin's a different shade There's nobody here I heard 'em call it Crystal Clear When you get by yourself and you're still wide awake [Refrain] Stay away from that place For your own sake [Verse 2] Manny's fast and cheap His daughter never goes sleep She lost thirty-seven pounds in ninety days He don't cook that much He says he does it for the rush And as for makin' money, he's got other ways [Refrain] So stay away from that place For your own sake [Chorus 1] Stay away from that place, it ain't about somebody seein' you And it really don't matter if he helps you pay the bills If they take your kids away, you know you don't need 'em And if you ever get 'em back, you'll prob'ly get 'em both killed [Verse 3] "Summer went too fast," I think as I laid off the gas And I roll onto Manny's street and smell the flames Big red truck sits still And all the water looks surreal And I think Manny had the skill but not the brains [Refrain] Should've stayed away from that place Now it's too late [Chorus 2] Stay away from that place, it ain't about somebody seein' you And it ain't about havin' your name on the sheriff's list Well, I told you one day, you'd burn down the whole damn avenue I thought your mama raised you better than this [Verse 4] Benny's in the ground Oh, Manny burned that trailer down Nobody gave a good goddamn 'bout him or his Baby's in the dirt She finally fit into that old skirt But I guess that don't make much difference after this [Refrain] She should've stayed away from that place Oh, I'm glad I did [Chorus 2] Stay away from that place, it ain't about somebody seein' you And it ain't about havin' your name on the sheriff's list Well, I told you one day, you'd burn down the whole damn avenue I thought your mama raised you better than this
