Just another story of the lost and lonely
Stuck right in the middle of two broken hearts
Even though you want to have who loves you only
You’re afraid to give yourself another start
You deserve better
Girl if you let me
I’ll be your everything
I’ll give what you need
So think it over
Soon you’ll discover
To make the perfect situation what you need is me
Chorus:
I’ve got just what it takes
Don’t be afraid
Can’t wait til the day that you will stand beside me
Taking full advantage of my broken heart
I’ve got a love that’s not so much demanding
Just keeps right on giving till it fills you up
I’m gonna hold you
Let me console you
Girl when you’re feeling low
I’ll be your place to go
So here’s my offer
Comes with a lifetime guarantee
From now on lonely nights till be all made history
‘Cause you’ve got me
Chorus
Chase your tears away
Bring you out when you’re down
Erase the pain
Now that I’m around, ‘cause
Chorusby Townes Van Zandt
Well, the birds were talking all at once
and the old man mowing down his lawn
he didn't look like much too bad a guy
And I was thinkin' Hang on, man, something's wrong
your blues seems to be gone
heaven ain't bad but you don't get nothing done.
Lay down your head a while
you are not needed now
you are not needed now
Well, Allison laid a hex on me
and every time I turn around
it's swimming through the air above my bed
I told Miss Higgs and she said fine
as long as you're back in your room on time
I keep you clean and the girls will keep you fed
Lay down your head with mine
you are not needed now
and we got things to do
Between the blankets made of wool
the trains roll by every half an hour
and the body can get no restin' done, that's true
so I do my best, as best I can
thinkin' big and making plans
and wondering where them trains are rolling to
Lay down your head poor boy
and feel how the ground does move
and hear how them drivers sing
Well, goodbye friends, it's time to close
everybody knows that's the way it goes
where was it you lived in case I'm ever there
Well, three doors down and two behind
and it gets a little bit out of hand sometimes
don't let it fool you into thinkin you down care
Lay down your head and fly
I'll quietly pass you by
you won't even see me go
If I thought about it long enough
I just might make some kind of move
watchful lies are too hard on the soul
With the smoke house just across the way
and it's fog upon the light of day
that would be hard comin' up with where to go
Lay down your head poor boy
feel how the ground does move
hear how them drivers sing
What now, my darling one
go find a little fun
you are not needed now
