"Melinda" LYRICS
When I get 400 dollars, I'm off to see Melinda When I get 400 dollars, I'm going to see Melinda And I dont care if you're going with me Cuz I'm getting up in the morning And I'm off to see Melinda (i'm off)
(break)
I would give the moon and sun Just to see Melinda The earth and all the sky To be there with Melinda And I just dont care what you've got to say Cuz I'm getting up in the morning And I'm goin to see Melinda
(break)
Yes I'm through with Clay County, you never did a thing for me Yah I'm through with Clay County, it never did a thing for me Yes and one dark night, I'm gonna crawl through the window Yes I'm getting up this morning And I'm off to see Melinda (yeah I'm off)
(longer break)
Yah I'm through with Clay County, it never did a thing for me Yah I'm through with Clay County, you never did a thing for me And I just dont care what you say Cuz I'm waking up in the morning And I'm going to see Melinda (going to see Melinda)
