Nice and Warm

Tab Benoit Nice and Warm Lyrics
1.Drowning on Dry Land

I'm going down. My nose is in the sand
I'm going down, down, baby. My nose is in the sand
A cloud of dust just came over me
And I think I'm drowning on dry land.

You know, my father told me, son don't rush to be a man
You know, my father told me, son don't you rush to be a man
But I went ahead on, and now I think I'm drowning on dry land.

You know my mother told me the story
About that li'l dog that couldn't see too well
He was crossing a railroad track one day
When the train cut off a part of his tail
He turned around but never looked up
Just to peep over the rail
And she said he lost his whole head
Trying to find a little piece of tail

That's why I'm going down. My nose is in the sand
A could of dust just came over me
And now I think I'm drowning on dry land.


2.Up And Gone

Lyricist:Tab Benoit

Standing in the doorway speaking your mind
And then you're out the door, leaving me behind
And every time something goes wrong
You're up and gone

You know I surely, surely would love to know
Where you go when you walk out that door?
You know I would wait all night long
For you to come home

Oh yes I surely, surely would love to know
Where you go when you walk out my door?
Lord, every time something goes wrong
You're up and gone


3.Shining Moon

Lyricist:Sam Lightnin' Hopkins

Don't that moon look pretty
Shining down through the trees?
Don't that shining moon look pretty, baby
Shining down through the trees?
You know I could see my baby, Lord, Lord
When she don't see me

Sometimes she calls me her little boy
Sometimes I call her my little girl
Sometimes she calls me her little boy
Sometimes I call her my little girl
You know, when she goes to kiss me
She makes me feel out of this world

Lord, I tiptoed to the girl's window
Just to see how sweet she snored
Lord, I tiptoed to the girl's window
Just to see how sweet she snored
You know she make me feel like jumping, Lord, Lord
Through the key hole in the door


4.Nice And Warm

Lyricist:Tab Benoit

I can't wait to get back home
Where the sun is always nice and warm
I can't wait to get back home
Where the sun is always nice and warm

You know, it's freezin' out here
And the howlin' wind sends a nasty chill
Through my bones

Oh, you know I
I shivered myself to sleep last night
But the cold won't let me be
That's when I woke up I realized that
This ain't no place for me, no
And I can't, I can't wait to get back home
Where the sun is always nice and warm

You know, it's freezin' out here
And the howlin' wind sends a nasty chill
Through my bones

You know, some good old friends got together
And they took me away
From this old alley
To a warm place I could stay
Oh, I can't wait to get back home
Where the sun is always nice and warm

I'm so happy to be with you all
And that old nasty chill is gone
