20-20 VISION
Recorded by: Jimmy Martin
Written by: Joe Allison & Milton Estes

I've been to the doctor, he said I'm alright
I know he's lying, I'm losing my sight
He should have examined the eyes of my mind
20-20 VISION and walking 'round blind

Since she's gone and left me, I feel so alone
I carry a heart that is heavy as stone
I knew that she cheated, I knew all the time
20-20 VISION and walking 'round blind

With my eyes wide open,I lay on my bed
If it wasn't for dyin', I wish I was dead
But this is my punishment, death is too kind
20-20 VISION and walking 'round blind

You just didn't know her the way that I do
You say that she's wicked and maybe it's true
But one thing I do know, she's no longer mine
20-20 VISION and walking 'round blind

I've lost her, I've lost her, oh what will I do
I bet you're not happy if she's there with you
The eyes of your heart will have trouble like mine
