Lyric Janie, Don t You Take Your Love To Town

Sitting here just watching you sleep
Wish I could slip inside and be in some technicolor dream
But the air s too thick for one of us to breathe
I m not fool enough to think you couldn t live life without me

I didn t come this far to throw the towel in
I didn t fight this hard to walk away
If I ain t smart enough to say I m sorry
It s just because the words got in the way

I remember how it used to be
I was you and you were me
We were more than just the same
Now these shoes don t fit, my skin s too tight
When you want a kiss, I take a bite
Let your heart call up the cops, read me my rights
Last night I drank enough to drown
Raise a toast to your good looks and to my health
Look, we both know how much I ve let you down
Janie, don t you take your love to town

Janie, don t you take your love to town
Janie, don t you take your love to town
If I gotta beg, I ll beg, just don t walk away
Janie, don t you take your love to town

You deserve a shooter, a saint
Someone to give it to you straight
To find the soul through flesh and bone
My life s a treasure, full of sunny weather
But it s left me feeling cold
Now all you wanna do is take me home
I hated you, the night you said you loved me
I hated you, cause I couldn t love myself
I m begging you now, baby please just hold me
I got one foot in, one foot off the ground

Janie, don t you take your love to town
Janie, don t you take your love to town
If I gotta beg, I ll beg, just don t walk away
Janie, don t you take your love to town
Janie, don t you take your love ...

[Guitar solo]

Sitting here while you re fast asleep
In the bathroom by the sink
Trying to write the right words down
I turn out the lights, close my eyes
There ain t no prayers or kiss goodnight
What I ll forget to say tomorrow, I ll say now
Janie, don t you take your love to town

Janie, don t you take your love to town
Janie, don t you take your love to town
If I gotta beg, I ll beg, just don t walk away
Janie, don t you take your love to town

Janie, don t you take your love to town
Janie, don t you take your love to town
If I gotta beg, I ll beg, just don t walk away
Janie, don t you take your love to town

Janie, don t you take your love to town
Janie, don t you take your love to town
If I gotta beg, I ll beg, just don t walk away
Janie, don t you take your love to town
Janie, don t you take your love
