Richard Thompson - Easy There, Steady Now lyrics

Jackknife with a precious load Spills it's guts all over the road Excuse me, I had to smile Lost my grip too for a while Easy there, steady now Easy there, steady now She didn't have the decency To sweep away what's left of me I don't have the presence of mind To walk along in a straight line Easy there, steady now CHORUS I call your name I call it loud I see your face In every crowd Nosebleed down the bathroom wall Leaves a pool down in the stall I wonder where you are tonight Red dress, skin so white Easy there, steady now 3 AM an empty town Doctor Martens echo down Old man Heartbreak follows you Corruption's shadow swallows you Easy there, steady now CHORUS Jackknife with a precious load Spills it's guts all over the road Excuse me, I had to smile Lost my grip too for awhile Easy there, steady now
