That's Where I Lay Down Songtext
Spring rain wept when I first met you,
with your long eyelashes and your flush of youth.
You tell the truth and you do your best,
but you can't say the things that you never have discovered yet.
Oh, it's like that when you're lovin' and young,
from the back of the mind to the tip of the tongue.
A kiss of your lips, your fingertips,
and I'd make the same choice if I had to do it once again.

That's where I lay down.
That's where I'm gonna lay my head.
When there is no bed in any town,
when the summers turn the grass to brown,
that's where I lay down.

So I worked the lie and I made a life,
and a good time woman became my wife.
Good as you know through the joy and the mess,
but you never know you're leavin' 'till you're looking back at what you've left.
Standing in a doorway open wide,
one foot on the path, one left inside.
Spring into summer, summer to fall,
it's your sun-kissed body, and honey I can't take it all.

That's where I lay down.
That's where I'm gonna lay my head.
When there is no bed in any town,
when the summers turn the grass to brown,
that's where I lay down.
I don't know if love comes and goes,
or if it's rock steady and it's made (???)
I'm comin' and a-goin', a-passing through,
and I'm counting the miles until I'm heading back to you.
Oh, I'm living the life I guess I wanted to,
with my pack on my back and my dusty shoes.
Your love in my pocket, I'm keeping it safe,
and I'm carrying it home to you darling now and I can't wait.

That's where I lay down.
That's where I'm gonna lay my head.
When there is no bed in any town,
when the summers turn the grass to brown,
that's where I lay down.

That's where I'm gonna lay my head.
When there is no bed in any town,
when the summers turn the grass to brown,
that's where I lay down.
