Nights When I Am Sane |
| Well it’s cold on this mountain |
| When the winter comes on |
| The dew in the meadow |
| Is sprinkled along |
| This road down to Nashville |
| Like crystal and stone |
| It’s a place where a man |
| Sells his soul for a song |
| God knows, I loved her |
| Too much, I can see |
| Much more than she could have |
| Ever loved me |
| If I was the last man |
| In East Tennessee… |
| Well, at times I feel I need the rain |
| At times I need the sun |
| Pleasure is a thread of pain |
| When it is undone |
| My moments of insanity |
| Are never like a chain |
| I only know I am not free |
| The nights when I am sane |
| So do not be concerned, my love |
| If you see me cry |
| For the laughter does not choose |
| To free the happiness inside |
| Just as there may seem to be |
| A smile that’s out of place |
| It only means there is a pain |
| That hurts too much to face |
| It’s cold on this mountain |
| Winter’s come on |
| The dew in the meadow |
| Is sprinkled along |
| This road down to Nashville |
| Like crystal and stone… |
| I’m just one man |
| Sometimes I wish I was three |
| I could take a forty-four |
| Pistol to me |
| Put one in my brain |
| Just for her memory |
| One more for my heart |
| And I would be free |
| One more for my heart |
| I would be free |
