Nanci Griffith - Workin' In Corners lyrics
Your rating:
It's a southern road west of New Orleans I'm fighting off the cold from these winter rounds, Houston She's just around the corner But I think I'll stop off here in Lafayette Lord and have me another round I've been workin' in corners all alone at night Pulling down whiskey, keeping my eyes away from the lights I'll never be a fool but I will gamble foolishly I've never let go of love, 'til I lost it in my dreams I'm stronger now, there was a man in my hometown He sang so pretty, I'm glad he turned my head around But I'd forgotten how to play a one night stand Lord, I didn't have a word to say just holding that stranger's hand I've been workin' in corners all alone at night Pulling down whiskey, keeping my eyes away from the lights I'll never be a fool but I will gamble foolishly I've never let go of love 'til I lost it in my dreams I don't want to go to sleep 'Cause I just might dream These city streets at five in the morning I would've stopped to phone you but I'm almost home At my back door there's a porch light that's shining I just don't mind living here by myself if I leave it on I've been workin' in corners all alone at night Pulling down whiskey, keeping my eyes away from the lights I'll never be a fool but I will gamble foolishly I've never let go of love 'til I lost it in my dreams I don't want to go to sleep 'Cause I just might dream I don't want to go to sleep 'Cause I just might dream Don't want to go to sleep You know I sure can dream And I sure can dream Sure can dream
