Rain beatin' down on a midnight moon Oh baby, I'll be leavin' soon Take me away The winds are howlin' like an old freight train Oh babe, these are the winds of change Take me away 'Cause I been sittin' on the front porch Watchin' the world go round Through the eyes of a fool, head like a rock My whole world tumblin' down Rain beatin' down on a midnight moon Oh baby, I'll be leavin' soon Take me away Gra** around your ankles in the field before the flood You're a rough-cut diamond in the Mississippi mud Take me away Well, I'm a two time loser with my guitar and my gun You're a mover and a shaker and a lover in the sun Take me away 'Cause I been sittin' on the front porch Watchin' the world go round Through the eyes of a fool, head like a rock My whole world tumblin' down Rain beatin' down on a midnight moon Oh baby, I'll be leavin' soon Take me away Take me away
