Chatham County Line Nowhere To Sleep lyrics

I have nowhere to sleep tonight
Not a place to lay my head
If I don't get near some kindling, dear
Somebody's gonna find me dead

Now when I left you, babe, I thought my life would turn
But ever since that day this heart just burns, burns, burns
Trying to make my way back to you
But, honey, I lost my way
Can't even find me a place to stay

'Cause I have nowhere to sleep tonight
Not a place to lay my head
If I don't get near some kindling, dear
Somebody's gonna find me dead

I wandered coast to coast trying to earn my keep
But a couple bucks a day don't buy this rambler a place to sleep
And that Old Man Winter, he's a-keeping me on the run

Never to find my home

'Cause I have nowhere to sleep tonight
Not a place to lay my head
If I don't get near some kindling, dear
Somebody's gonna find me dead

I was keeping myself warm on a park bench with the local press
When I saw your picture in the Socials in a long, white dress
You've found another man with whom you can raise a tent
I'm just trying to raise my rent

'Cause I have nowhere to sleep tonight
Not a place to lay my head
If I don't get near some kindling, dear
Somebody's gonna find me dead
