The Breakmen â That s where I lay down
Tabbed By Stephen Turner, July 2013.
Spring rain left when I first met you
With your long eyelashes and your blush of youth
You tell the truth and you do your best
But you can t see the things that you never have discovered yet
Oh it s like that when you re lovin and young
From the back the mind to the tip of the tongue
The kiss on 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
And the summer s turned the grass to brown
That s where I lay down
So I worked the line, I made our life
And a good time woman became my wife
Good as an oak through the joy and the mess
But you never know you re leavin til you re lookin back at what you ve left
Standin in the doorway open wide
In front of the pack you 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
And the summer s turned the grass to brown
That s where I lay down
I don t know if love comes and goes
Or if it s rocksteady and it s me who roams
I m coming and a going, I m passin through
And I m countin the miles until I m headin back to you
Oh livin the life I guess I wanted to
With my pack on my back and my dusty shoes
With your love in my pocket, I m keepin it safe
And I m carryin 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
And the summer s turned the grass to brown
That s where I lay down
