Round the Bend - Justin Townes Earle

Standing on the corner ‘round the bend by the dead end sign

Two full quarters saying don’t come ‘round here with your listening dime

I know there’s better ways for me to get home

Lately I ain’t been doing so good.

I’ve been on my own

I’m a grown man, got no control

I got a dollar, I bet you I could turn it into five

I might take you out to dinner later on tonight

Every time I get on the road

There’s always something there to push me down in the hole

Grown man, bless my soul

You know it’s hard to explain

There’s things a man’s gotta learn to contain

Sweet now it just ain’t the same

And your momma’s only boy, your daddy’s only shame

Standing on the corner ‘round the bend by the dead end sign

Calling my baby saying take me back one more time

Oh, take me back

Take me back, babe
