Lyrics Nowhere to Sleep - Chatham County Line

Nowhere to Sleep

I have nowhere to sleep tonight
Not a place to lay my head
If I don’t get near some kindling, dear
Somebody’s gonna find me dead
Now when I left you, babe, I thought my life would turn
But ever since that day this heart just burns, burns, burns
Trying to make my way back to you
But, honey, I lost my way
Can’t even find me a place to stay
'Cause I have nowhere to sleep tonight
Not a place to lay my head
If I don’t get near some kindling, dear
Somebody’s gonna find me dead
I wandered coast to coast trying to earn my keep
But a couple bucks a day don’t buy this rambler a place to sleep
And that Old Man Winter, he’s a-keeping me on the run
Never to find my home
'Cause I have nowhere to sleep tonight
Not a place to lay my head
If I don’t get near some kindling, dear
Somebody’s gonna find me dead
I was keeping myself warm on a park bench with the local press
When I saw your picture in the Socials in a long, white dress
You’ve found another man with whom you can raise a tent
I’m just trying to raise my rent
'Cause I have nowhere to sleep tonight
Not a place to lay my head
If I don’t get near some kindling, dear
Somebody’s gonna find me dead
