Nanci Griffith Workin' in Corners lyrics

Well it's a southern road west of New Orleans
I'm fightin' off a cold from these winter rounds
Houston, she's just around the corner
But I think I'll stop off here in Lafayette
Lord and have me another round

'Cause I've been workin' in corners all alone at night
Pullin' down whiskey keepin' my eyes away from the lights
I'll never be a fool but I will gamble foolishly
I've never let go of love till I lost it in my dreams
I don't want to go to sleep 'cause I just might dream

I'm stronger now, there was a man in my hometown
He sang so pretty I'm glad he turned my head around
But I'd forgotten how to play a one night stand
Lord I didn't have a word to say
Just holdin' that stranger's hand

'Cause I've been workin' in corners all alone at night
Pullin' down whiskey keepin' my eyes away from the lights
I'll never be a fool but I will gamble foolishly

I've never let go of love till I lost it in my dreams
I don't want to go to sleep 'cause I just might dream

And these city streets at five in the mornin'
I would've stopped to phone you but I'm almost home
At my back door there's a porch light that's shinin'
I just don't mind livin' here by myself
If I leave it on

'Cause I've been workin' in corners all alone at night
Pullin' down whiskey keepin' my eyes away from the lights
I'll never be a fool but I will gamble foolishly
I've never let go of love till I lost it in my dreams
I don't want to go to sleep 'cause I just might dream

I don't want to go to sleep 'cause I sure can dream
You know I sure can dream, don't want to go to sleep
And I sure can dream, you know I sure can dream
