Jerry Jeff Walker



At the start of each day

I dread what I face

And the race that is runnin' outside 

I jump back in bed

And I cover my head



But that only blocks out the light

No my trouble's still there

You know it hangs in the air

I know things are comin' my way 

There's things I must do 

But I hide in my room

And I hope that it all goes away



Come on mama won't you come here quick

I feel like I'm going insane

I need the good lovin' grace 

Of your sweet smilin' face



There'll be light in my life once again

Now I'm biting my lip

You know I'm losin' my grip

I feel like I'm slippin' away

She comes along

She'll be hummin' a song

Like sunlight she can brighten my day

Ain't it so good just to see her now

Walkin up the street

You know that she's comin to love you

And lovin' you, that's just what you need

To set you free



Yeah the good lovin' grace

Of her sweet smilin' face

Will put light in my life once again
