lyrics

C’ mon baby won’t you wrap me in your arms tonight
C’mon baby won’t you keep me safe from harm tonight
Oh, I swear I’m travelin’ light
I put all my baggage on a southbound train tonight

C’mon baby won’t you whisper in my ear tonight
C’mon baby tell me what I need to hear tonight
Oh, I swear I’m travelin’ light
I put all my baggage on a southbound train tonight

My kids went to see their daddy just east of Baton Rouge
Mama’s gone to Key West for sunsets and new tattoos
Grandma gone to see her sister’s grave in San Antone
And I’m sitting here nursing a beer wondering how to be alone.

C’mon baby won’t you help me count my sheep tonight
C’mon baby conversation won't get deep tonight
Oh, I swear I’m travelin’ light
I put all my baggage on a southbound train tonight

My kids went to see their daddy just east of Baton Rouge
Mama’s gone to Key West for sunsets and new tattoos
Grandma gone to see her sister’s grave in San Antone
And I’m sitting here nursing a beer wondering how to be alone.

C’mon baby won’t you help me count my sheep tonight
C’mon baby won’t you kiss me while I sleep tonight
Oh, I swear I’m travelin’ light
I put all my baggage on a southbound train tonight
So hold me tight and whisper everything’s gonna be alright.
Oh, I swear I’m travelin’ light
I put all my baggage on a southbound train tonight
