She came to me so young and free And put her arms around me She said that she would always stay With me until my dying day We grew up in a dirty town Where they like to kick you when you’re down If you show an easy side They twist the knife and open you wide Oh Anna Oh Anna Remember how you cried when I bought a gun I’ve never been one to turn and run Everybody’s got to have a dream To help them make it down the stream If they cannot chain or buy you You know they’ll try to crucify you Now I'm out here on the road Thinking about my way back home Oh Anna Oh Anna We had a dream that didn’t last Like a fly in amber I'm trapped in the past Stay on your feet in this human race You think about a lover or a special place Lost you somewhere down the road Now I hear you singing when I'm all alone You’re the only one, makes me feel this way Keep on searching for you every day Oh Anna Oh Anna Oh Anna Oh Anna
