If Today Doesn’t Do Me In

Lyrics
In a heavy rain standing Off an old county road 'Side a high rolling river so swift There was a hitchhiking stranger Quite pale from the cold On a cane, tryin' to thumb down a lift Well, I pulled up beside him And let my window on down To the rain and the bone-chilling wind Said "You look awful worn In this late-winter storm Which way are you headed, my friend?" "Right up to the spotlight Drinkin' all that Coke and gin And I'll be suit-wearin' man With gold in my hand If today doesn't do me in" Behind a gas station counter Moving crates full of things That looked far too heavy for her There stood a girl with a frown Said, "Let me just set these down And I'll be right with you, sir" I said, "No hurry here Take all the time that you want" She said, "A little time and you just wait and see Oh, I'll be without a care When I finally get there" I said, "Miss, tell me where might that be" "Right up to the spotlight Drinkin' all that Coke and gin And I'll be a dress-wearin' girl With the heels and the pearls If today doesn't do me in If today doesn't do me in" Well, I got a head-full this morning Cuttin' out through the fog You know, I can't help but wonder what's left From every road that dead-ends To those old bitter men Pa**ing time on the old courthouse steps And there's a feeling you get Not far from despair That sometimes sets in on your mind But if it's all that you've got You still set the clock And get up with a reason to climb Right up to the spotlight Drinking all that coke and gin And I'll leave these shadows behind For a new peace of mind If today doesn't do me in If today doesn't do me in
