Lay down last night, Lord I could not take my bed.
Lay down last night, Lord I could not take my bed.
My mind was wandering like wild geese in the wind.

The sun's gonna shine in my back door today.
The sun's gonna shine in my back door today.
Life's wind will blow all my troubles away.

I wish I was a headlight on a northbound train.
I wish I was a headlight on a northbound train.
I'd shine my light through the cool Colorado rain.

I'm goin' down the road where I can get more decent care, (2x)
Goin back to my used-to-be rider' Cause I don't feel welcome here.

I know my baby sure is bound to love me some, (2x)
'Cause he throws his arms around me Like a circle 'round the sun.

I laid down last night tryin' to take a rest, (2x)
But my mind kept rambling Like the wild geese in the west.

I'm goin down to the river, set in my rocking chair, (2x)
And if the blues don't find me, gonna rock away from here.

Lovin' you baby, just as easy as rollin' off a log, (2x)
But if I can't be your (wo)man, I sure ain't gonna be your dog.

I will cut your wood, baby, I will make your fire, (2x)
And I will tote your water, baby, from that Fresno Bar.
