Africa

In the evenings
 And the mornings
 When her child begins to cry
 Lonely woman shakes the cradle
 Till the tears begin to dry
 And she's looking in the corner
 And her clock shows ten past eight
 Second this week that she's running
 That she's running, running late
 She drops her knees and prays to God
 While the world keeps turning, turning
 She sings a song we all forgot
 As the world keeps turning, turning
 She drops her knees and prays to God
 While the world keeps turning, turning
 She sings a song we all forgot
 As the world keeps turning, turning
 Turning, turning, turning, turning
 Billy James stays outta trouble
 But blue collar sits too tight
 And the bottle ain't forgiving
 So he lands in jail tonight
 So he lands in jail tonight
 So he lands tonight
 He drops his knees and prays to God
 While the world keeps turning, turning
 He sings a song we forgot
 That the world keeps turning, turning
 He drops his knees and prays to God
 While the world keeps turning, turning
 He sings a song we forgot
 That the world keeps turning, turning
 He drops his knees and prays to God
 While the world keeps turning, turning
 He sings a song we forgot
 That the world keeps turning, turning
 He drops his knees and prays to God
 While the world keeps turning, turning
 He sings a song we forgot
 That the world keeps turning, turning
