(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
|
|
[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
|
|
[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
|
