By townes van zandt
Well, the birds were talking all at once
and the old man mowing down his lawn
he didn't look like much too bad a guy
and i was thinkin' hang on, man, something's wrong
your blues seems to be gone
heaven ain't bad but you don't get nothing done.
lay down your head a while
you are not needed now
you are not needed now
well, allison laid a hex on me
and every time i turn around
it's swimming through the air above my bed
i told miss higgs and she said fine
as long as you're back in your room on time
i keep you clean and the girls will keep you fed
lay down your head with mine
you are not needed now
and we got things to do
