Lay My Body Down Lyrics - Singles - Philosopher Kings

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 

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 

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, oh 

But some joke from Albuquerque with some white wine and a turkey 

Came 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 

Just as every schoolyard has a teacher, every chapel has a preacher 

Every angry man has 6 shells to a round 

Oh, I've been an honest man, I've walked as straight as I can 

I'm gonna lay his body down 

Lay, lay his body down 

Lay, lay his body down 

Lay, lay his body down 

Lay, lay his body down
