The Sleep Of The Just Lyrics & Chords By Ray Wylie Hubbard

There always is consequences
For everything that I do
I been awake her now all night
Shaking like the apostles used to do
Looks like I'll never know
I'll never know the sleep of the just

Each and every night is worrisome
Miseries cross my mind I declare
I guess it could be a guilty conscience
Who'd a though I would ever care
Looks like I'll never know
Never know the sleep of the just

Have mercy Lord have mercy
I just can't shed these blues
Both you and I know I can't be fixed
With bailing wire nails or screws

I thought I heard a voice calling
Outside my window at the break of day
Said be much obliged when you're leaving
Things just ain't going my way
Looks like I'll never know the sleep of the just

So I been walking around in circles
Look at these holes in my shoes
The reason I'm leaving Houston
Ain't nothin' here left I can use
Looks like I'll never know
Never know the sleep of the just
