Murray Hammond - Lost at Sea

C

F
I'm gonna take the weekend

F
and reply to all the letters

C
that girl was kind enough to send

C
to my youth for my better

F
I put my foot up on the room

F
that rolls with every boxcar

C
oh, I'm gonna ride that restless one

C
through every hill and holler


G
I'm gonna lay right down

F
my family's all around

G
the restless ones like me

F.......................................................C
I'll comb the ground to find the lost at sea

out among the columbines
and the pickled hills of Coleman
I coughed away from childhood
where a girl and I found true love
but the smokey trap that pulls me now
upsets the sleep I've needed
in a rattled trap of pity
I'm gonna spend my evening

I'm gonna lay right down
my family's all around
the restless ones like me
I'll comb the ground to find the lost at sea

well if I am untimely
and I miss my next engagement
sing peace in the valley
say a word about the pavement
and I cuss with every footfall
on this bent up twisted highway
in rattled trap of free fall
I'm gonna have it my way

I'm gonna lay right down
my family's all around
the restless ones like me
I'll comb the ground to find the lost at sea

and God will be a friend to you

........Bb.......................C
if you get you one of those

cause bad boys know their leaving
bad boys know what hurts
yeah bad boys leave you crying
while their dying on a dirty flirt
I fell in love with my other self
lost my original home
to be you rock to be your only one
to be the one that you call the most

...........Bb....................F
it's the wreck of the 97

............C
it's the wreck of the L & E

...........Bb................................F
it's the call that you make to heaven

.....................C
for to say "what on earth do you think of me"

...............Bb.................................F
when you tell them about your broken heart

.........C
you'll tell them about me

..........Bb
they'll see it

F.......................C
mmmm they'll see it

so roll out your greasy reasons
roll out your wills and wonts
stare down a starry evening
trying to rewrite the dos and don'ts
so you held your face in secret places
dressed up for king
now she comes around you mostly
on your ceilings in your dreams

it's the wreck of the 97
it's the wreck of the L & E
it's the call that you make to heaven
for to say "what on earth do you think of me"
when you tell them about your broken heart
you'll tell them about me
they'll see it
mmmm they'll see it

it's the wreck of the 97
it's the wreck of the L & E
it's the call that you make to heaven
for to say "what on earth do you think of me"
and you come around here broken
and you think that I don't see
but I see it
mmmm I see it

cause bad boys know their leaving
bad boys know what hurts
yeah bad boys leave you crying
while their dying on a dirty flirt
I fell in love with my other self
lost my original home
to be you rock to be your only one
to be the one that you call the most
