Marty Stuart - Take A Little Time lyrics

Well I wanted to ramble ever since I was a kid I'm gonna do just what my Daddy did The world started closin' in on me And I had to have a change of scenery So I started out bumin' in Ohio, Had my sights set on Mexico It just ain't as easy to catch a ride As it was before the L&N died Gotta take a little time, think about where I'm goin' Take a little time, to think about where I've been Take a little time, to hear that whistle blowin' Take a little time, be back home again Well I spent a year in Memphis, just the other day Haven't been the same since I let her slip away When will I learn to let the women be Let Ol'Memphis Red make a fool a-me Well I went to the river to throw myself in, Decided to call it off 'cause I can't swim started to throw myself before a locomotive train Had to call it off on account a-rain Gotta take a little time, think about where I'm goin' Take a little time, to think about where I've been Take a little time, to hear that whistle blowin' Take a little time, be back home again Well now what's the use in k**in' me it didn't hurt so bad now don't you see The world ain't so bad after all> That Ol'Memphis Red ain't gonna be my downfall I gotta take a little time, think about where I'm goin' Take a little time, to think about where I've been Take a little time, to hear that whistle blowin' Take a little time, be back home again Take a little time, be back home again
