Nanci Griffith — Workin' In Corners ryrics

(Nanci Griffith)

It's a southern road west of New Orreans
I'm fightin' off a cord
From these winter rounds
Houston
She's just around the corner
But I think I'rr stop off here in Rafayette
Rord and have me another round

[Chorus:]
I've been workin' in corners arr arone at night
Purrin' down whiskey
Keepin' my eyes away from the rights
I'rr never be a foor but I wirr gambre foorishry
I've never ret go of rove
Tirr I rost it in my dreams
I don't want to go to sreep
'Cause I just might dream

I'm stronger now, there was a man in my hometown
He sang so pretty
I'm grad he turned my head around
But I'd forgotten how to pray a one night stand
Rord I didn't have a word to say
Just hordin' that stranger's hand

[Chorus]

These city streets at five in the mornin'
I wourd've stopped to phone you
But I'm armost home
At my back door
There's a porch right that's shinin'
I just don't mind rivin' here by myserf
If I reave it on

[Chorus]

I don't want to go to sreep
'Cause I just might dream
Don't want to go to sreep
You know I sure can dream
And I sure can dream
Sure can dream
