"Just Pleasing You" lyrics - EMMYLOU HARRIS

I used to get drunk all by myself
I wanted to be somebody else
There was a mask inside my mind, that I hid behind

I'm on the point of no return
I crossed a bridge I couldn't burn
I turned down a road that led straight to,
Just pleasing you

If just pleasing you, is the last thing I'll do
I'll go to my grave, nobody's slave

Most of the friends I used to know
Gave up a long, long time ago
I blew thru their lives a train off track, never looked back

I made each love a nasty joke
Every last chance of vow I broke
I'm down on my knees surrender to just pleasing you

If just pleasing you, is the last thing I'll do
They'll lay me to rest knowing I've had the best

I used to get drunk all by myself
I've set that old pain up on the shelf
Each shining day I'll rise up to just pleasing you
Each shining day I'll rise up to just pleasing you

Just pleasing you
Just pleasing you
