The Deslondes & Sam Doores - Out On The Rise Lyrics

The Deslondes & Sam Doores Lyrics

"Out On The Rise"

Everybody's going home
The bars are plugged
The lamps are trimmed and burnin' low
All the willows just shrug
Think I'll pack it in
And head to Montgomery
Swimmin' in this sea of sin, Lord
Well, it sure gets lonely

In every town I go
Soon as I swing low
I'm out on the rise
If I could just take it slow
Lord, I'll make it, I know
But I never been so good at that

I'm a hardworkin' man
But I ain't got a thing
'Cause I can't keep no job
That won't let me sing
I rub my eyes and then
Seen another day
And how come all my closest friends
Are so far away?

In every town I go
Soon as I swing low
I'm out on the rise
If I could just take it slow
Lord, I'll make it, I know
But I never been so good at that

My soul's a lion's den
There ain't no place to hide
Heart's an engineer
Out on his last ride
But if you come a little closer
I'll give you my right ear
Won't you please tell me somethin'
That might keep me here?

'Cause every town I go
Soon as I swing low
I'm out on the rise
If I could just take it slow
Lord, I'll make it, I know
But I never been so good at that
