Lay My Body Down Paroles

I don't wanna cause trouble,
I don't need a bath of bubbles,
just a floorboard for the pavement on the ground
i'll take a steeple or a stable,
or a dining room table,
just to lay my body down

lay, lay my body down

so I go back to see my baby.
since no other place'll take me,
when I stop to brush my hair back with a comb
and I can almost see our porch light,
and it's shining like a northern light,
God, how I wanna be home

to lay, lay my body down
lay, lay my body down
he's got his paws into my honey,
then he lay her body down

now just as every schoolyard has a teacher,
every chapel has a preacher,
every angry man has 6 shells to a round
i've been an honest man,
i've walked as straight as I can,
but i'm gonna lay his body down

lay, lay his body down
