Philosopher Kings - Lay My Body Down lyrics

So I came all the way from Trenton, Spent a full night at the station, In a suitcase made of calico brown Now I'm almost out of money, And I'm sleepy and hungry, I want to lay my body down I don't want to cause Trouble, I don't need a bath of bubbles, Just a floorboard for the pavement on The ground I'll take a steeple or a stable, Or a dining room table, Just to lay my body down Lay, lay my body down So I go back to see my baby, Since no other place'll take me, When I stop to brush my hair back With a comb And I can almost see our porch light, And it's shining like a northern light, God how I want to be home To lay, lay my body down Lay, lay my body down But some joke from Albuquerque, With some white wine and a turkey, Come to entertain my girl while I Was gone This bear thinks everything is funny, He's got his paws into my honey, Then he lay her body down Now just as every schoolyard Has a teacher, Every chapel has a preacher, Every angry man has 6 shells To a round I've been an honest man, I've walked as straight as I can, But I'm gonna lay his body down Lay, lay his body down
