Текст песни Must Be My Baby - Guy Clark

Now Frankie D. said he got it straight from Roger Miller
Life′s just like takin' candy from a gorilla
I started thinkin′, man, this ain't so tough, hey
That's about the time that the monkey showed up

Sometimes I can′t find my heart with both hands
You know, I usually got my head stuck down in the sand
I start to feel like I can′t even breathe
Hey, what's the little breath of fresh air blowin′ up my sleeve?

Must be my baby, hey-hey-hey
She can make the Mississippi river run the other way
Must be my baby, just in time
How's she always know when I′m 'bout to lose my mind? Yeah

Run the other way, Miss Sue

Sometimes it feels like everything′s a drag, man
I could not smile my way out of a wet paper bag
It gets so dark that the clock stops tickin', man
It's just like night and day was playin′ chicken, yeah

I′m ridin' on the boiler of a long black train
Tryin′ to find the brakes in a drivin' rain
I got smokestack lightning′ pourin out the funnel, whew
What's the little light at the end of the tunnel?

Must be my baby, hey-hey-hey
She can make the Mississippi River run the other way
Must be my baby, just in time
How does she always know when I′m 'bout to lose my mind? Yeah
