I met a woman in West Virginia She said her name was Alabama She's from a little town outside Savannah Where everybody talk that country grammar She said she killed a man down in Atlanta He beat her and he drank till he couldn't stand up He told her that he loved her but he couldn't stand her She caught him in his sleep, hit him with the hammer She sold her car and she bought a gun Johnny Law got her on the run Another broken bottle and the damage done We've all been blinded by the sun Blinded by the sun Her breath was sweet, her eyes were pretty She said her zodiac sign was Cancer She was on her way to New York City Trying to get a job there as a dancer And then she asked if she could ride up with me And I'm still thinking on the answer She don't want love, she won't take pity She'll break your heart if you give her the chance ta This scrammer got an uzi and it weighs a ton Johnny Law got her on the run Another broken bottle and the damage done We've all been blinded by the sun Blinded by the sun (Sun Sun Sun Sun Sun Sun) Lord have mercy on me for all the things I've done (all the things I've done) I lost my mind, my eyes were blinded by the sun (blinded by the sun) Don't forsake me Lord, I'm not the only one (not the only one, no) I lost my mind, my eyes were blinded by the sun (blinded by the sun, yeah) Blinded by the sun This scrammer got an uzi and it weighs a ton Johnny Law got her on the run Another broken bottle and the damage done We've all been blinded by the sun Blinded by the sun
