letra de if today doesn't do me in - ian noe

Loading...

[verse 1]
in a heavy rain standing
off an old county road
‘side a high rolling river so swift
there was a hitchhiking stranger
quite pale from the cold
on a cane, tryin’ to thumb down a lift
well, i pulled up beside him
and let my window on down
to the rain and the bone-chilling wind
said “you look awful worn
in this late-winter storm
which way are you headed, my friend?”

[chorus]
“right up to the spotlight
drinkin’ all that c-ke and gin
and i’ll be suit-wearin’ man
with gold in my hand
if today doesn’t do me in”

[verse 2]
behind a gas station counter
moving crates full of things
that looked far too heavy for her
there stood a girl with a frown
said, “let me just set these down
and i’ll be right with you, sir”
i said, “no hurry here
take all the time that you want”
she said, “a little time and you just wait and see
oh, i’ll be without a care
when i finally get there”
i said, “miss, tell me where might that be”

[chorus]
“right up to the spotlight
drinkin’ all that c-ke and gin
and i’ll be a dress-wearin’ girl
with the heels and the pearls
if today doesn’t do me in
if today doesn’t do me in”

[verse 3]
well, i got a head-full this morning
cuttin’ out through the fog
you know, i can’t help but wonder what’s left
from every road that dead-ends
to those old bitter men
p-ssing time on the old courthouse steps
and there’s a feeling you get
not far from despair
that sometimes sets in on your mind
but if it’s all that you’ve got
you still set the clock
and get up with a reason to climb

[chorus]
right up to the spotlight
drinking all that c-ke and gin
and i’ll leave these shadows behind
for a new peace of mind
if today doesn’t do me in
if today doesn’t do me in
