Waylon Jennings - STRAIGHTEN MY MIND lyrics

A tiger always walks at night and marks his prey while everything's still

He waits until it's unaware and then he strikes and makes his kill

That's the way you've done me girl you never let me brieve

Couldn't feel the way I felt so you'd tried to punish me

Baby it's time to straighten my mind

A spider's always busy spinning webs that no one can get through

Somehow that spider always has reminded me babe of you

You took the love I gave you but you'll never let it live

That's the hang of girl you know how to take but not to give

Baby it's time to straighten my mind

[ trumpet ]

You've kept me like a river always clinging to the ground

I've got to get away from you before I sink and drown

Baby it's time to straighten my mind
