Larry Jon Wilson - Lay Me Down Again lyrics

I can't explain why I'll be leaving you today, again I know you'll wait, you probably shouldn't stay Mmmm, but then You'll walk with me again a while Talk with me again awhile Lay me down again awhile before I go And say goodbye again Your straight suburban friends keep asking why You want a man that writes and sings Instead of furs and j**els and country clubs and yachts...and things We've been right for much too long Simple words that make us wrong I'll be home where I belong to lay me down And make a song again And at times it's sometimes been like the sands of dunes of change...and shifts and then again, sometimes have been a honeymoon exchange... an' gifts though this potluck life has knocked me down; looking up off the ground, I think that I should lay me down to bleed a while And rise and try again Getting burned by city lights, Hard road days and lonely nights Wish I may, I wish I might Just lay me down and make it right again I shall lay me down and bleed a while And rise and try again
