Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You can't save me
You can't save a wretch like me
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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 want to keep up
Keepin' up with the Joneses
[Verse 4]
Finally she told me
That grandpa Dan travelled
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
[Verse 5]
Let me go
Hurricane
Just let me go
I'm goin' to care
[Verse 6]
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 you're dad
And Dan, God bless his soul, oh
[Verse 7]
I got the Williams blood in me
I got the Williams blood in me
I got the Williams blood in me
(Got the Williams blood)
I got the Williams blood in me
[Verse 8]
In me, In me, in me
(I feel it runnin' through my)
My blood, the Williams blood
In me
[Verse 9]
In a room full of doves
I'm waitin' for the angels
Spreadin' my wings
So I can fly
[Verse 10]
Let me fly
Hurricane
(You can't save a wretch like me)
Let me fly
Hurricane
[Verse 11]
Just let me go
I'm goin' to care
Williams prepared
[Verse 12]
Why don't you be a Jones like your sister (Sister)
And your brother Noel
They said, "When are you gonna be a Jones?
You're just like you're dad"
And Dan, God bless his soul, oh
[Verse 13]
I got the Williams blood in me
(Got the Williams blood)
I got the Williams blood in me
I got the Williams blood in me
Uh, never change, uh
I got the Williams blood in me
[Verse 14]
(Ooh, oh, ooh)
Let me go (Oh)
I got the Williams blood in me
(I'll never change, let me go)
Let me go
(Goin' to change)
Let me go (Of the change, of the change)
Let me go (Oh, oh, oh so ready, change)
Let me go, oh
(For more people, let me go)
(Ooh Williams sweet, yeah)
Let me go, ooh
[Verse 15]
I got the Williams' blood in me
(Let me go, oh)
I don't want to keep up, I can't keep up
Let me go
(Let me go, ooh)
I don't want to keep up, I can't keep up
(Got the Williams blood in me)
(Let me go, oh)
I don't want to keep up, I can't keep up
(Let me go)
I don't want to keep up
(Let me go, ooh)
I got the Williams blood in me
[Verse 16]
Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
