Rain beatin' down on a midnight moon
Oh baby, I'll be leavin' soon
Take me awayThe winds are howlin' like an old freight train
Oh babe, these are the winds of change
Take me away'Cause I been sittin' on the front porch
Watchin' the world go round
Through the eyes of a fool, head like a rock
My whole world tumblin' downRain beatin' down on a midnight moon
Oh baby, I'll be leavin' soon
Take me awayGrass around your ankles in the field before the flood
You're a rough-cut diamond in the Mississippi mud
Take me awayWell, I'm a two time loser with my guitar and my gun
You're a mover and a shaker and a lover in the sun
Take me away'Cause I been sittin' on the front porch
Watchin' the world go round
Through the eyes of a fool, head like a rock
My whole world tumblin' downRain beatin' down on a midnight moon
Oh baby, I'll be leavin' soon
Take me away
Take me away
