Must Be My Baby - Guy Clark

Must Be My Baby - Guy Clark
Now Frankie D said he got it straight from Roger Miller
Life's just like taking candy from a gorilla
I started thinking man this ain't so tough
That's about the time that the monkey showed up
Sometimes I can't find my heart with both hands
You know I usually got my head stuck down in the sand
I start to feel like I can't even breathe
What's the little breath of fresh air blowing up my sleeve
Must be my baby hey hey hey
She can make the Mississippi River run other way
Must be my baby just in time
How she always know when I'm about to lose my mind
Run the other way
Sometimes it feels like everything's a drag
Man I could not smile my way out of a wet paper bag
It gets so dark that the clock stops ticking man
Just like night and day was playing chicken
Yet I'm riding on the boiler of a long black train
Trying to find the brakes in a driving rain
I got smokestack lightning pouring out the funnel
What's the little light at the end of the tunnel
Must be my baby hey hey hey
She can make the Mississippi River run other way
Must be my baby just in time
How she always know when I'm about to lose my mind
