Robert Earl Keen
So I Can Take My Rest
[Verse 1]
I'm tired to the bone
My back is to the wall
I've been on my own
So long I can't recall

[Chorus]
Take me in your arms tonight
Hold me to your breast
Tell me it will be alright
So I can take my rest
So I can take my rest

[Verse 2]
Maine to Mexico
Across the great divide
Through rain and snow
Oh, I ride

[Chorus]
Take me in your arms tonight
Hold me to your breast
Tell me it will be alright
So I can take my rest
So I can take my rest
[Verse 3]
The time for us is near
The lightning streaks the sky
The thunder in my ears
Echoes with goodbye

[Chorus]
Take me in your arms tonight
Hold me to your breast
Tell me, it will be alright
So I can take my rest
So I can take my rest
