The Philosopher Kings - Lay My Body Down lyrics

so I came all the way from Trenton, spent a full night at the station, in a suitcase made of calico brown now I'm almost out of money, and I'm sleepy and hungry, I wanna lay my body down I don't wanna cause trouble, I don't need a bath of bubbles, just a floorboard for the pavement on the ground I'll take a steeple or a stable, or a dining room table, just to lay my body down lay, lay my body down so I go back to see my baby, since no other place'll take me, when I stop to brush my hair back with a comb and I can almost see our porch light, and it's shining like a northern light, God how I wanna be home to lay, lay my body down lay, lay my body down but some joke from Albuquerque, with some white wine and a turkey, come to entertain my girl while I was gone this bear thinks everything is funny, he's got his paws into my honey, then he lay her body down now just as every schoolyard has a teacher, every chapel has a preacher, every angry man has 6 shells to a round I've been an honest man, I've walked as straight as I can, but I'm gonna lay his body down lay, lay his body down
