"I'm Gonna Make You Mine" as written by and Carole Bayer/carr Sager....
Sometimes I think about
The folks back home
And twelve miles of road
I used to roam
Sometimes I think about
My crazy Willie Jean
She ever get as far as New Orleans
We used to spend the summer
On a grassy riverbank
And drink hard water
From a rare old fillin' tank
Sometimes I think about
My crazy Willie Jean
Will she ever get as far as New Orleans?
Daddy told me, son
I see you're gonna come to harm
I'm gonna see you on that natural county farm
Sometimes I think about
That crazy Willie Jean
She ever get as far as New Orleans
Sometimes I lie awake
And I cry, I think about Willie Jean
Oh, she ever get as far as New Orleans
Mmm, mmm, please Willie Jean, as far as New Orleans
The folks back home
And twelve miles of road
I used to roam
Sometimes I think about
My crazy Willie Jean
She ever get as far as New Orleans
We used to spend the summer
On a grassy riverbank
And drink hard water
From a rare old fillin' tank
Sometimes I think about
My crazy Willie Jean
Will she ever get as far as New Orleans?
Daddy told me, son
I see you're gonna come to harm
I'm gonna see you on that natural county farm
Sometimes I think about
That crazy Willie Jean
She ever get as far as New Orleans
Sometimes I lie awake
And I cry, I think about Willie Jean
Oh, she ever get as far as New Orleans
Mmm, mmm, please Willie Jean, as far as New Orleans
