Jerry Jeff Walker - Time to Stay Home lyrics

Jerry Jeff Walker This is a time to be cautious; this is a time to be smart This is a time to consider the options, be careful with games of the heart A time for young fellas to carry umbrellas And considering the climate, you really might find it The right time to stay at home The booze gets your liver, but when you consider The condition of water, a man really ought to Abstain for the night and just stay home It's dangerous out on the freeway, its dangerous out in the bars Everybody's mad at somebody, it's dangerous to drink and drive cars Whiskeys's bad for your liver, but stop and consider The condition of water, then maybe you ought to Find a good book and stay home AIDS is to real to be foolish, it's changed all the rules we play by You can't take chances in other peoples' pants it's Too risky to just casually try Now I only smile at our social lifestyle It all leaves me believing I'd find more relief in Some Earl Klugh and the refuge of home So now I turn off the porch light, next I'll unplug the phones I'll get on my robe and my jammies, a nice fire sure warms the bones I might write a letter, but what I like better Is taking my guitar down and playing an old song That makes me feel glad I stayed home
