I got the road to myself tonight Heading out for some raw daylight I can't remember what the preacher said But he sure shook that bible way above his head Oh baby I come with a contrite heart While the world's asleep I wanna make a brand new start The good Lord is smiling upon this tired old car Can't you hear the sweet sound of his steel guitar? I know I'm ugly and my bones are old But baby you've got my heart in a stranglehold Let me wrap these arms around you where they belong This ain't no revelation... It's just a love song Baby I come with nothing but a contrite heart While the world is asleep let's make a brand new start The good Lord has smiled upon this stubborn old head Let me sleep beside you in your warm, warm bed Baby I come with nothing but a contrite heart While the world is asleep let's make a brand new start The good Lord has smiled upon this stubborn old head So let me sleep beside you in your warm, warm bed
