Baby Don't Let Me Down

Start up the engine and get back home

Hurry go tell mother

Johnny got a gun to shoot a squirrel

He put down your brother

Daddy ain't no where to be found

It's getting way past midnight

Momma she's left here to cry alone

While I steal a kiss in the moonlight

This place is slow and I just want to go

Find myself a self in a all night town

It's more than I deserve I know

But baby don't let me down

Beauty has poisoned me

Better than the bugs in the cotton

Now I gotta have another drink

To kill all the pains' I've gotten

This place is slow and I just want to go

Find myself a self in a all night town

It's more than I deserve I know

But baby don't let me down

Baby don't let me down

All the crops have gone to seed

The maze has turned into clover

Silos emptied the gins closed down

Somethings you never get over

This place is slow and I just want to go

Find me some love in an all night town

It's more than I deserve I know

But baby don't let me down

This place is slow and I just want to go

Find myself a self in a all night town

It's more than I deserve I know

But baby don't let me down

Baby don't let me down
