Workin` In Corners — текст песни (Nanci 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

(chorus)
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

(repeat chorus)

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

(repeat chorus)

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
