Rodney Crowell
Lead Me Not
Well, I should have been home hours ago
I always lose track of the time
I'll just hold up this wall while I try to recall
A thought from the back of my mind
Oh yeah, I remember, It began with a wink
When you caught me lookin' at you
So don't ask me if you can buy me a drink
I know what you're tryin' to do
Lead me not into temptation
I already know the road all too well
Lead me not into temptation
I can find it all by myself
I've the best of intentions, Lord, I mean to be good
And straight to the path I should go
But seems the harder I try, the further I slide
'Til I'm lost down that same dead end road
Now you're a good lookin' thing, and that must be the best
Proposition that I've had all day
But there's no need for subtlety, darlin' just get thee behind me
And I'll show you the way
Lead me not into temptaion
I already know the road all too well
Oh Lead me not into temptation
I can find it all by myself
Oh Lead me not into temptation
I can find it all by myself
