Must Be My Baby - Guy Clark

Frankie D. said he got it

Straight from Roger Miller

Life抯 just like takin' candy

From a gorilla

I started thinkin' man

This ain’t so tough

That抯 about the time

That the monkey showed up

Sometimes I can’t find

My heart with both hands

I usually got my head stuck

Down in the sand

I start to feel like

I can’t even breathe

What’s the little breath of fresh air

Blowin' up my sleeve

Chorus

Must be my baby hey hey hey

She can make the Mississippi River

Run the other way

Must be my baby just in time

How抯 she always know when

I’m about to lose my mind

Sometimes it feels like

Everything抯 a drag

I could not smile my way

Out of a wet paper bag

It gets so dark

That the clock stops tickin'

It抯 just like night and day

Was playin' chicken

I’m ridin' on the boiler of a long black train

Tryin' to find the brakes

In a drivin' rain

I got smokestack lightning' pourin out the funnel

What’s the little light at the end of the tunnel

Chorus
