In The Gutter

If I go down to the tavern babe I won't come back
If I go down to the tavern babe I won't come back
I'm trying to do better, trying to get myself together
Take my hand and pull me back on track

My bed is made in the gutter but I won't lie down
My bed is made in the gutter but I won't lie down
I can't stay here forever, I got to get myself together
Pick me up and turn my luck around

I'm a woman with hurricane hot on my heels
Anywhere, anywhere away from here
There's a weight in me and it won't let me go
I want to shine, shine, good as I know

But I do need you, I know
You keep me on the straight and the narrow on the road
‘Cause you know that I go a little bit of track with the bottle
But you know I think, the more you think the less you understand
And the more I try to get things right the less they go as planned

When I go down to station will you come with me?
When I go down to the station will you come with me?
Want to leave this stormy weather, get our things together
Morning train is going to have us both set free

I'm a woman with hurricane hot on my heels
Anywhere, anywhere away from here
There's a weight in me and it won't let me go
I want to shine, shine, good as I know

But I do need you, I know you keep me on the straight and the narrow on the road
'Cause you know that I go a little bit of track with the bottle
But you know I think, the more you think the less you understand
And the more I try to get things right the less that go as planned
