Lyrics of Take a little time

Well i wanted to ramble ever since i was a kid
I'm gonna do just what my daddy did
The world started closin' in on me
And i had to have a change of scenery

So i started out bumin' in ohio,
Had my sights set on mexico
It just ain't as easy to catch a ride
As it was before the l&n died

Gotta take a little time, think about where i'm goin'
Take a little time, to think about where i've been
Take a little time, to hear that whistle blowin'
Take a little time, be back home again

Well i spent a year in memphis, just the other day
Haven't been the same since i let her slip away
When will i learn to let the women be
Let ol'memphis red make a fool a-me

Well i went to the river to throw myself in,
Decided to call it off 'cause i can't swim
Started to throw myself before a locomotive train
Had to call it off on account a-rain

Gotta take a little time, think about where i'm goin'
Take a little time, to think about where i've been
Take a little time, to hear that whistle blowin'
Take a little time, be back home again

Well now what's the use in killin' me
It didn't hurt so bad now don't you see
The world ain't so bad after all>
That ol'memphis red ain't gonna be my downfall

I gotta take a little time, think about where i'm goin'
Take a little time, to think about where i've been
Take a little time, to hear that whistle blowin'
Take a little time, be back home again

Take a little time, be back home again
