Bobby Bare - Rest Awhile lyrics

rate me

Does anyone know of a girl who might like a tired old boy on a rusty old bike

Who just pulled in today from the Florida Glades

And just got to stop and rest awhile and rest awhile

Does anyone know of someone who can use

A hard working fool who don't ever touch booze

Who's only vice is a roll of a dice

And he's just got to stop and rest awhile and rest awhile

Easy there lady I don't want no trouble I'll pay for my chili and leave

Easy there mister I got the money and if I was you I'd let go of my sleeve

Does anyone know of a place I can sleep

Where I won't hear the cry of the wind as she weeps

For a poor wandering soul who got no place to go

And just got to stop and rest awhile and rest awhile

No fellers you can't have a ride cause my bike and my girls I don't share

Hey sheriff thank you for stoppin' and being concerned bout the length of my hair

Can anyone lend me a half tank of gas

And I guess that a smile would be too much to ask

Cause your warm friendly town don't want my kind around

And I guess I can't stop and rest awhile and rest awhile

Hello mama your boys comin' home cause my bike and my dreams all got wrecked

No mama don't hung up the phone I'm sorry that I had to call you collect

Can anyone lend me a half tank...
