Status Quo - Backwater Lyrics
[Backwater / Just Take Me]
Down at Backwater junction rolling down the line
In the dark early morning I heard the one-forty-nine
I was walking down the highway, needed somewhere to go
She led me cold, tired and hungry down the backwater road
In a house on the corner looking over the track
I woke up with a fever and a pain in my back
She was lying there beside me, my fever started to grow
Had a funny feeling but the lady said no
My lover needs a doctor down the Backwater Road
Whatcha lookin' for, whatcha lookin' for
Lady do you know what cha' lookin' for
Lady was I right or lady was I wrong?
Backwater doctor, you've got me breathing in time
It's ten-thirty in the morning and I'm feeling alright
I went back to my lady but I wasn't to know
Lady left this morning and she's not coming home
I was cold when she left me down the Backwater Road
I am just a poor man, got nowhere to go
All my leaves have fallen, left me all alone
If I was a rich man, if I was a king
I would give you all I have, give you everything
If you'd just take me, just take me now
If you'd just take me
Never seen my daddy, died when I was two
Mama did the best she could, taught me all she knew
Said that love was everything, tears came to her eyes
Never knew the meaning, now I realise
Love is all you need, all you need now
If you just take me
I'm trying hard to get you, I'm not the only one
Never had a big car, but I'm not on the run
If love has got a meaning see it in my eyes
If you see the beginning, then you'd realise
Love is all you need, all you need now
If you just take me
Just take me
Just take me now
Won't you just take me

Status Quo Backwater Comments
The drum solo between this and just take me is up there with the best of the rest
The whole quo album is an enorm heavy rock album... its in my opinion the cream de la cream amost the status quo albums
Easily the best Quo album all time!
Ma Kelly's my fave....but this....🆒😎👍....
Nuff da man
Я от этого альбома балдел ещё в 1978 году, у меня пластинка была !
Quo is THE album for the band`s lovers of their hard side - Actually it`s a Lancaster album all the way, as he had his heavy influence on it - We all know how the the story continued... Rossi wanted to go all pop and Lancaster left the band - Pity ... This was my favorite Quo phase.
Nuff could pen the heavy stuff but also had the gift of producing thought provoking, sentimental and emotional songs. So many including "Ease your mind" & broken man. Quo lost that pure magic when both Nuff & Spud left. FF reunion tours, 2013 & 2014 totally amazing, as if never apart.
It's shit off stuff in it
Undoubtedly,the best Quo album.....ever!
No doubt at all!!! Alan`s strongest influence.
Masterpiece, was the whole day on my mind, everything is perfect in this song !!
Without doubt, the best Quo L.P..
My favourite Quo album.
