Once in, once in a while lose that cigarette
(Lay me down)
(Lay me down)
Lay me down, let me down
Lay me down, let me down
In a big old town
(Lay me down)
Lay me down, let me down
Lay me down, let me down
In a big old town
Lay me down, let me down
Take me there, take me there to that wounded sound
With that wild eyed stare up in your face
(Lay me down)
Passion's fist against a wall, the crush of a kiss, the rise and fall
(Lay me down)
(Lay me down)
In a big old town
He wrestles with control, still hasn't pinned it yet
It's just love's despair gone and hit the ground
(Lay me down)
In a big old town
(Lay me down)
In a big old town
Lay me down, let me down
He must have lost his soul when he found the rent
Lay me down, let me down
Lay me down, let me down
Lay me down, let me down
Lay me down, let me down
There's always some strange smile underneath his breath
Lay me down, let me down
In a big old town
(Lay me down)
(Lay me down)
(Lay me down)
Lay me down, let me down
(Lay me down)
Keep coming, coming back to the same old place
(Lay me down)
