lyrics

Please Let Me Sleep On Your Floor

I couldn’t find nobody to put me up for the night
So I slept in an alley with the streetlights so bright
We take all this shit for you
Your world is so full of pretty things
My guitar doesn’t even have all its strings
But I’ll write a song for you (like O’Carolan)

Please let me sleep on your floor
Please let me sleep out on your front porch
It looks like rain tonight
You know I won’t make a mess
You know this is your blessing
And you know I’ll be gone in the morning

I’m trying to get home but nobody will listen
I haven’t eaten all day and there’s food in your kitchen
I can smell it
If I could ask you just one little thing:
Please answer the doorbell when it rings
And don’t be afraid of me

-Chorus-

It was so cold in the city last night
So I’m out here in the country ‘cause I don’t want to fight
With the world anymore
I’ve worked and I’ve worked and I got nothing to show
The voices keep shouting and I don’t know
Where to go anymore

-Chorus-
