Went out on a limb, gone too far
I broke down at the side of the road
Stranded at the outskirts and the sun's creepin' up
Baby's in the backseat, still fast asleep
Dreaming of better days
I don't wanna call you, but you're all I have to turn to

What do you say when it's all gone away?
Baby, I didn't mean to hurt you
Truth spoke in whispers will tear you apart
No matter how hard you resist it
It never rains when you want it to

You humble me, Lord
You humble me, Lord
I'm on my knees empty
You humble me, Lord
You humble me, Lord
So please, please, please forgive me

Baby Theresa, she's got your eyes
I see you all the time
When she asks about her daddy
I never know what to say
Heard you kicked the bottle
And you helped build a church
You carry an honest wage
Is it true you have somebody keeping you company?

What do you say when it's all gone away?
Baby, I didn't mean to hurt you
Truth spoke in whispers will tear you apart
No matter how hard you resist it
It never rains when you want it to

You humble me, Lord
You humble me, Lord
I'm on my knees empty
You humble me, Lord
You humble me, Lord
So please, please forgive me

You humble me

The daughter of Beatles collaborator Ravi Shankar (her estranged father whom she had little contact with until her adult years), Norah Jones came into her own after studying at Dallas Booker T. Washington School of the Arts. She later spent two years at the University of North Texas' lauded music program in Denton, Texas – alma mater of such diverse music greats as rocker Don Henley and stalwarts Roy Orbison and Pat Boone.

Jones' goal was always to get to New York City, and she succeeded there after years of tough starter music gigs and the almost-cliched waitress jobs. Her debut album Come Away With Me won 5 Grammy Awards for Jones herself, including “Album of the Year”, and “Record of the Year.” Additionally, it won 3 Grammy awards for “Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical,” “Producer of the Year, Non-Classical,” and “Song of the Year,” for collaborators on the album. It has been Certified 10x Multi-Platinum by the RIAA, having sold 10 million albums.
