Mickey Newbury - Shades of '63 lyrics

Oh I think I'm gonna walk in the rain today Let it wash my pain away Maybe I will catch a train and go to Tennessee Maybe I will go to Tennessee and see what there is left of me Of what I was in '63 Nothing stays the same Oh I think I might just catch a plane No I think I'm going to lay in the sun today I have a place where I can stay A house right on Perdido Bay where the folks are good to me I think I am going to lay down in the sun until I am good and well and done And maybe when the sun goes down The night will set me free I think I'm gonna walk in the sun No I think I wanna be alone today Thanks for asking anyway If I get drunk or if I pray either way I'm on my knees I think I wanna be alone today Old Tom Dolan pa**ed away Oh the sky is cold and gray and I am not much company I think I wanna be alone Well I think I'm gonna sit in the shade today Watch the children run and play Watch my children run and play and set my laughter free I think I will sit in the shade today In this rocking chair my daddy made When I was a little baby sitting on his knee Shades of '43
