Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I get four hundred dollars, I'm going to see Melinda
'Cause I've been workin', I've been saving for a ticket to Melinda
And I just don't care what you got to say
Because I'm gettin' up in the morning, and I'm off to see Melinda
I'm off
[Verse 2]
And I would give the moon and sun to be there with Melinda
The earth and all the sky, just to touch Melinda
And I just don't care if you're going with me
'Cause I'm getting up in the morning, and I'm going to see Melinda
Yeah, I'm goin'
[Verse 3]
And I'm through with Clay County
There ain't nothin' there for me
There ain't nobody in Clay County
Who ever did a thing for me
Yes, and one dark night
I'm gonna crawl through her window
Yeah, I'm gettin' up in the morning, and I'm going to see Melinda
[Verse 4]
And I'm through with Clay County
There ain't nothin' there for me
There ain't nobody in Clay County
Who ever did a thing for me
Yeah, and one dark night
I'm gonna crawl through her window
Yeah, I'm gettin' up in the morning, and I'm going to see Melinda
Yeah, I'm going to see her
