4am Blues

I know my steps are numbered And I'm marchin' to your snare Oh, so many miles on my travelin' shoes To where I don't know where And sometimes my feet get heavy But I know it won't be long Meanwhile we wait and we sit and sing Our father's father's songs Singin' Lord I get weary Lord I get weary Lord I get weary I just need a place to lay my head My sleep's all toss and turnin And I dream in black and white Oh, I just can't shake this fever, Lord That wakes me every night And sometimes my thoughts get heavy Tryin' to walk this line of mine Oh, settle my debts and just get some rest For my weary, weary mind Singin' Lord I get weary Lord I get weary Lord I get weary I just need a place to lay my head Singin' Lord I get weary Lord I get weary Lord I get weary I just need a place to lay my head Singin' Lord Lord Lord oh Lord Lord Lord oh Lord I just need a place to lay my head I just need a place to lay my head
