Janie, Don`t You Take Your Love To Town Lyrics

Janie, Don`t You Take Your Love To Town

Sitting here just watching you sleep 

Wish I could slip inside and be in some technicolor dream 

But the air's too thick for one of us to breathe 

I'm not fool enough to think you couldn't live life without me 



I didn't come this far to throw the towel in 

I didn't fight this hard to walk away 

If I ain't smart enough to say I'm sorry 

It's just because the words got in the way 



I remember how it used to be 

I was you and you were me 

We were more than just the same 

Now these shoes don't fit, my skin's too tight 

When you want a kiss, I take a bite 

Let your heart call up the cops, read me my rights 

Last night I drank enough to drown 

Raise a toast to your good looks and to my health 

Look, we both know how much I've let you down 

Janie, don't you take your love to town 



Janie, don't you take your love to town 

Janie, don't you take your love to town 

If I gotta beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away 

Janie, don't you take your love to town 



You deserve a shooter, a saint 

Someone to give it to you straight 

To find the soul through flesh and bone 

My life's a treasure, full of sunny weather 

But it's left me feeling cold 

Now all you wanna do is take me home 

I hated you, the night you said you loved me 

I hated you, 'cause I couldn't love myself 

I'm begging you now, baby please just hold me 

I got one foot in, one foot off the ground 



Janie, don't you take your love to town 

Janie, don't you take your love to town 

If I gotta beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away 

Janie, don't you take your love to town 

Janie, don't you take your love ... 



[Guitar solo]



Sitting here while you're fast asleep 

In the bathroom by the sink 

Trying to write the right words down 

I turn out the lights, close my eyes 

There ain't no prayers or kiss goodnight 

What I'll forget to say tomorrow, I'll say now 

Janie, don't you take your love to town 



Janie, don't you take your love to town 

Janie, don't you take your love to town 

If I gotta beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away 

Janie, don't you take your love to town 



Janie, don't you take your love to town 

Janie, don't you take your love to town 

If I gotta beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away 

Janie, don't you take your love to town 



Janie, don't you take your love to town 

Janie, don't you take your love to town 

If I gotta beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away 

Janie, don't you take your love to town 

Janie, don't you take your love
