In the Gutter
If I go down to the tavern, babe, I won’t come back
If I go down to the tavern, babe, I won’t come back
I’m tryin’ to do better, tryin’ to get myself together.
Take my hand, you gotta put me back on track.
‘Cause my bed is made in the gutter but I won’t lie down.
My bed is made in the gutter but I won’t lie down.
Can’t stay here forever, gonna get myself together.
Pick me up, you gotta turn my luck around.
But I’m a man with a hurricane hot on my heels.
I say anywhere, anywhere away from here.
But there’s a weight in me and it won’t let me go.
Wanna shine, shine good as I know.
But I do need you, ah, who will keep me on the straight and the narrow road.
‘Cause you know that I go a little bit off track with the bottle,
But you know I think the more you think the less you understand,
And the more I try to get things right the less they go as planned.
And when I go down to the station will you come with me?
When I go down to the station will you come with me?
Gonna leave this stormy weather, get our things together.
Morning train would have us both set free.
But I’m a man with a hurricane hot on my heels.
I say anywhere, anywhere away from here.
But there’s a weight in me and it won’t let me go.
Wanna shine, shine good as I know.
But I do need you, ah, who will keep me on the straight and the narrow road.
‘Cause you know that I go a little bit off track with the bottle,
But you know I think the more you think the less you understand,
And the more I try to get things right the less they go as planned.
