Spring rain left when I first met you With your long eyelashes and your blush of youth You tell the truth and you do your best But you can't see the things that you never have discovered yet Oh it's like that when you're lovin and young From the back the mind to the tip of the tongue The kiss on your lips, your fingertips And I'd make the same choice if I had to do it once again That's where I lay down That's where I'm gonna lay my head When there is no bed in any town And the summer's turned the grass to brown That's where I lay down So I worked the line, I made our life And a good time woman became my wife Good as an oak through the joy and the mess But you never know you're leavin til you're lookin back at what you've left Standin in the doorway open wide In front of the pack you left inside Spring into summer, summer to fall It's your sun-kissed body and honey I can't take it all That's where I lay down That's where I'm gonna lay my head When there is no bed in any town And the summer's turned the grass to brown That's where I lay down I don't know if love comes and goes Or if it's rocksteady and it's me who roams I'm coming and a going, I'm passin through And I'm countin the miles until I'm headin back to you Oh livin the life I guess I wanted to With my pack on my back and my dusty shoes With your love in my pocket, I'm keepin it safe And I'm carryin it home to you darling now and I can't wait That's where I lay down That's where I'm gonna lay my head When there is no bed in any town And the summer's turned the grass to brown That's where I lay down
