Sleep on a clothes-line
(Rory Gallagher)
I could sleep on a clothes line as easy as pie I can't keep my eyes open, no matter how I try I got to sit down, I can't stay on my feet I been up all night, I been walkin' the street, oh yeah Looking for my baby But everywhere I've gone They tell me I've just missed you It's gone on too long Well, I'd go up on a mountain and I'd fight a wild cat Walk over Niagara and all the way back Get lost in the jungle and I'd live up a tree That's what I would once do if you would stay with me, oh yeah Looking for you, baby Gone from pillar to post Everywhere I just missed you, baby About a minute at the most Well, I've been looking for you, baby In every cafe, diner and bar All the faces there they know you And they say you can't have gone too far But you've gone far enough, baby I found out you've done me wrong Don't ask to know who's the fool I won't be the one Well, I could sleep on the tail-plane of a jumbo jet Walk over the ocean and I'd never once get wet Go skatin' on an iceberg and that's what I would once do Every dime and dozen times just to hear you say "I love you" Looking for you, baby But everywhere I go They tell me I just missed you, baby About a minute at the most Well, I could sleep on a clothes line as easy as pie I can't keep my eyes open, no matter how I try I got to sit down, I can't stay on my feet I been up all night, I been walkin' the street, yeah Looking for you baby But everywhere I've gone They tell me I've just missed you, baby No, it's gone on too long, yeah Gone on too long, baby
