This has always been a special song for me, and it tends to be the right song for a fair summer evening that we have here.
This is a tune called Working in Corners.
[A]
Well it's a southern road, west of New Orleans
And I'm a-fighting off the cold from [E] these winter [A] hours
Houston, she's just around the corner
Hey, I think I'll stop off here in Lafayette, Lord, [D] and have me [A] another round
Cause I've been working in [F#m] corners all [A] alone at night
Rolling down whiskey, keeping [B] my eyes away [Am] from the lights
I'll never [A] be a fool, but I will gamble [E] foolishly
Oh, I never [C#m] let go [B] of love [E] till I lost it in [A] my dreams
And I'm stronger now, [E] there was a [A] man in my hometown
He sang so pretty, I'm glad [D] he turned my [E] head around
[A] But I've forgotten now, the play of one night stands
Lord, I didn't have a word to say, [Dm] just hugged in a [E] stranger's [A] hand
Cause I've been working in corners all alone at [E] [A] night
Rolling down whiskey, keeping my eyes away from the lights
I'll never be a fool, but I will gamble foolishly
[E] Oh, I [A] never let go of love [E] till I [B] lost it in [A] my dreams
I don't wanna go to sleep, it's just my dream
In these city streets at five in the morning
I would've stopped to phone you, [D] but I'm [A] almost home
At my back door, there's a porch light that's shining
Hey, I just don't mind living here by [D] myself if I leave [A] it on
Cause I've been working in [B] corners all [A] alone at night
Rolling down whiskey, keeping my eyes away from the lights
I'll never be a fool, but I will gamble [E] foolishly
Oh, I never [C#m] let go of love [E] till I lost it in [A] my dreams
I don't wanna go to sleep, it's just my dream
I don't wanna go to sleep, cause I sure can
[E]
[A] [E] dream
[A] You know I sure can dream
Thank [E] [A] [E] [A]
