Lyrics The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Mother of Love

Music blows from the radio like the wind

And it fits you like a glove

And the towns roll by beneath the midnight sky again

But it's you I'm thinking of.

Mother of love, open your eyes and see the spot I'm standing in

Mother of love, let me ride.

I could not be what I wanted to be back then

And I guess I never will

I could almost see what I wanted to be at ten

And I'm looking for it still.

Mother of love, open your eyes and see the spot I'm standing in

Mother of love, let me ride.

Come to me, you can see right through me

I'm a child in a man's disguise

Come on and treat me, make me wise.

And the music blows from the radio like the wind

But it's you I'm thinking of.

Mother of love, open your eyes and see the spot I'm standing in

Mother of love, let me ride

Let me ride

Let me ride

Let me ride.
