[Intro]
Lay it to rest
You know my word ain't the best
It's just another question of faith
That I must take
'Til it's laid to waste
Laid to waste

[Verse 1]
I stood and I watched you weep
Until I'm gone you're sure to cry some more
I stayed and lit a cigarette
I thought we'd been here some time before

[Chorus]
Booked and I got to hurry, troubled times and worry
Turn your head away
Swear to you now I'm learning, troubled times are turning
Turn your head away

[Verse 2]
She said that it's five a.m. 
I think it's time for you to go
Got to hurry, got to get on board
And drink myself to sleep at home
[Chorus]
Booked and I got to hurry, troubled times and worry
Will turn your head away
Swear to you I'm learning, troubled times are turning
Turn your head away

[Post-Chorus]
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, uh-huh
Woah, yeah

[Refrain]
Shimmy on down, baby, uh-huh
Shimmy on down, baby, uh-huh
Shimmy on down, baby, uh-huh
Shimmy on down, baby, uh-huh

[Chorus]
Booked and I got to hurry, troubled times and worry
Will turn your head away
Swear to you I'm learning, troubled times are turning
Turn your head away
Booked and I got to hurry, troubled times and worry
Will turn your head away
Swear to you I'm learning, troubled times are turning
Turn your head away
[Refrain]
Shimmy on down, baby
Shimmy on down, baby
Shimmy on down

[Outro]
Lay it to rest
You know my love ain't the best
It's just another question of taste
That I must take
'Til it's laid to waste
