Well, three doors down and two behind
And the body can get no restin' done, that's true
Lay down your head poor boy
As long as you're back in your room on time
Everybody knows that's the way it goes
Feel how the ground does move and hear how them drivers sing
He didn't look like much too bad a guy
That would be hard but comin' up with where to go
The trains go by every half an hour
Well if I thought about it long enough
It's swimming through the air above my bed
Well between the blankets made of wool
With the smoke house just across the way
Lay down your head a while
And I was thinkin' hang on, man, something's wrong
And every time I turn around
Heaven ain't bad but you don't get nothing done
Thinkin' big and making plans
Lay down your head and fly
Lay down your head poor boy
And I'll quietly pass you by you won't even see me go
I keep you clean and the girls will keep you fed
And it gets a little bit out of hand sometimes
And where was it you lived in case I'm ever there
Your blues they do seems to be gone
You are not needed now, you are not needed now
Don't let it fool you into thinkin' you down care
And what now, my darling one, go find a little fun
And it's fog upon the light of day
Lay down your head with mine
Well, goodbye friends, it's time to close
And feel how the ground does move, hear how them drivers sing
Watchful lies are too hard on the soul
I told Miss Higgs and she said fine
And wondering where them trains are rolling to
Well, Allison laid a hex on me
So I spend my time as best I can
I just might make some kind of move
You are not needed now and we got things to do
