Workin' in Corners

作词 : Griffith

It's a southern road west of New Orleans

I'm fightin' off a 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

Pullin' down whiskey

Keepin' my eyes away from the lights

I'll never be a fool but I will gamble foolishly

I've never let go of love

till I lost it in my dreams

I don't want to go to sleep

'Cause I just might dream

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 holdin' that stranger's hand

I've been workin' in corners all alone at night

Pullin' down whiskey

Keepin' my eyes away from the lights

I'll never be a fool but I will gamble foolishly

I've never let go of love

till 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 mornin'

I would've stopped to phone you

but I'm almost home

At my back door

there's a porch light that's shinin'

I just don't mind livin' here by myself

If I leave it on

I've been workin' in corners all alone at night

Pullin' down whiskey

Keepin' my eyes away from the lights

I'll never be a fool but I will gamble foolishly

I've never let go of love

till 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
