Nervous Mind Songtext
von Michael Fracasso

I got a nervous mind
Got a nervous heart
Got a way of thinkin′
Makes me come apart

I got it in the mornin'
And in the afternoon
I′m a-thinkin' any minute
She's gonna leave real soon
I′m a-walkin′ on the east side
She's a-walkin′ on the west
I'm a-thinkin′ "Aw honey
I like you in that dress
You wore the first time
We ever met
But you never done nothin'
But make me guess"


She′s got two hundred years
Of family in the South
They buried her grandpa
Somewhere near Dallas
He was her favorite man
I never got to know
But he played a little baseball
In the semi-pros
And I'm a-walkin' in the sand
She′s walking in the water
She said "Let′s not"
I say, "We ought'a
Walk a crooked line
To where time begins
Then we′ll know right there
If we sink or swim"

She says, "Oh, God"
I said "Dear Jesus"
But I'll tell you truth now
A-neither one believed us
So I walked through a mirror
To the other side
And she said, "Baby
Hey what you got to hide?"
Well I turn out the lights
She lights the holy candles
I say, "Okay
But don′t remove your sandals"
The night is cold
Her hands are warm
Her love is young
My heart is torn


Well, I once saw the Pope
I think I got blessed
She's a friend of the Governor′s, hey
I'm not impressed
'Cause it′s a jungle out there
It′s a jungle in my head
Aw, pretty baby
Let's hang around in bed
We′re driving through the rain
The sky is mighty grey
She says, "Aw, honey
Let's go the other way"
We weathered storms
And this one looks rough
A-you give me a holler
When you had enough

She′s a brand new package
Standing at my door
I got a lot of baggage
From long before
She said, "Put it in the attic
And let it collect dust
Spend a million years
Just thinkin' ′bout us"
I'm a-thinkin' of the night
When the wind is still
And a train is howlin′
From a lonely hill
And the moon is shinin′
Through the naked branches
I hold her in my arms
I'm gonna take my chances

Got a nervous mind
Got a nervous heart
Got a way of thinkin′
Makes me come apart
