In the Gutter - Mick Flannery

If I go down to the tavern, babe, I won’t come back

If I go down to the tavern, babe, I won’t come back

Tryin' to do better, tryin' to get myself together

Take my hand, you gotta, pull me back on track

My bed is made in the gutter but I won’t lie down

My bed is made in the gutter but I won’t lie down

I can’t stay here forever, I gotta, get myself together

Pick me up you gotta turn my luck around

But I’m a man with hurricane hot on my heels I say

Anywhere, anywhere away from here

There’s a weight in me and it won’t let me go

Gonna shine, shine, good as I know

But I do need you

Who would keep me on the straight and the narrow

On the road, 'cause you know that I go

A little bit of track with the bottle

But you know I think, the more you think the less you understand.

And the more I try to get things right the less that go as planned.

Man, man

When I go down to station will you come with me?

When I go down to the station will you come with me?

Wanna leave this stormy weather, gonna get our things together

Morning train is gonna have us both set free

But I’m a man with hurricane hot on my heels I say

Anywhere, anywhere away from here

There’s a weight in me and it won’t let me go

Gonna shine, shine, good as I know

But I do need you

Who would keep me on the straight and the narrow

On the road, 'cause you know that I go

A little bit of track with the bottle

But you know I think, the more you think the less you understand.

And the more I try to get things right the less that go as planned.

Oh man, oh man
