Lay Me Down Again
Larry Jon Wilson
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 jewels 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
