Taking Off The Edge

(Larry Cordle&Larry Shell) I been down on my luck I been down on my knees Well I been downtown And I been down on the farm I can't be satisfied But I'm gonna have to find A way to kick back and Take off the edge Now there's a little gal I know Just south of Tupelo Her hair is dark and her legs are long and tan She rubs my back just right Till way up in the night She knows how to Take off the edge I've been laid up with the flu Laid off a time or two I've been uptight And I've been up a creek I'm gonna take my bamboo pole And head out to the fishing hole Don't you know it helps to Take off the edge
