Must Be My Baby Lyrics - Guy Clark

Frankie D. said he got it 

Straight from Roger Miller 

Life's just like takin' candy 

From a gorilla 

I started thinkin' man 

This ain't so tough 

That's about the time 

That the monkey showed up 

Sometimes I can't find 

My heart with both hands 

I usually got my head stuck 

Down in the sand 

I start to feel like 

I can't even breathe 

What's the little breath of fresh air 

Blowin' up my sleeve 

Must be my baby hey hey hey 

She can make the Mississippi River 

Run the other way 

Must be my baby just in time 

How's she always know when 

I'm about to lose my mind 

Sometimes it feels like 

Everything's a drag 

I could not smile my way 

Out of a wet paper bag 

It gets so dark 

That the clock stops tickin' 

It's just like night and day 

Was playin' chicken 

I'm ridin' on the boiler of a long black train 

Tryin' to find the brakes 

In a drivin' rain 

I got smokestack lightning' pourin' out the funnel 

What's the little light at the end of the tunnel
