Workin in Corners

Its a southern road west of New Orleans
Im fightin off a cold
from these winter rounds
Houston
Shes just around the corner
But I think Ill stop off here in Lafayette
Lord and have me another round
Ive been workin in corners all alone at night
Pullin down whiskey
Keepin my eyes away from the lights
Ill never be a fool but I will gamble foolishly
Ive never let go of love
till I lost it in my dreams
I dont want to go to sleep
Cause I just might dream
Im stronger now, there was a man in my hometown
He sang so pretty
Im glad he turned my head around
But Id forgotten how to play a one night stand
Lord I didnt have a word to say
Just holdin that strangers hand
Ive been workin in corners all alone at night
Pullin down whiskey
Keepin my eyes away from the lights
Ill never be a fool but I will gamble foolishly
Ive never let go of love
till I lost it in my dreams
I dont want to go to sleep
Cause I just might dream
These city streets at five in the mornin
I wouldve stopped to phone you
but Im almost home
At my back door
theres a porch light thats shinin
I just dont mind livin here by myself
If I leave it on
Ive been workin in corners all alone at night
Pullin down whiskey
Keepin my eyes away from the lights
Ill never be a fool but I will gamble foolishly
Ive never let go of love
till I lost it in my dreams
I dont want to go to sleep
Cause I just might dream
I dont want to go to sleep
Cause I just might dream
Dont want to go to sleep
You know I sure can dream
And I sure can dream
Sure can dream
