Take A Little Time Lyrics - Stuart Marty

Well I wanted to ramble ever since I was a kid 

I'm gonna do just what my Daddy did 

The world started closin' in on me 

And I had to have a change of scenery 

So I started out bumin' in Ohio, 

Had my sights set on Mexico 

It just ain't as easy to catch a ride 

As it was before the L&N died 

Gotta take a little time, think about where I'm goin' 

Take a little time, to think about where I've been 

Take a little time, to hear that whistle blowin' 

Take a little time, be back home again 

Well I spent a year in Memphis, just the other day 

Haven't been the same since I let her slip away 

When will I learn to let the women be 

Let Ol'Memphis Red make a fool a-me 

Well I went to the river to throw myself in, 

Decided to call it off 'cause I can't swim 

started to throw myself before a locomotive train 

Had to call it off on account a-rain 

Gotta take a little time, think about where I'm goin' 

Take a little time, to think about where I've been 

Take a little time, to hear that whistle blowin' 

Take a little time, be back home again 

Well now what's the use in killin' me 

it didn't hurt so bad now don't you see 

The world ain't so bad after all> 

That Ol'Memphis Red ain't gonna be my downfall 

I gotta take a little time, think about where I'm goin' 

Take a little time, to think about where I've been 

Take a little time, to hear that whistle blowin' 

Take a little time, be back home again 

Take a little time, be back home again
