Drivin' Nails in the Wall

Waylon Jennings · Six Strings Away [Bear Family] [1999]

(Harold Gay)



Here I sit drivin' nails in the wall

Thinking I hear someone in my hall

She said that she'd be back in no time at all

Here I sit drivin' nails in the wall.



In the dark that stacks around me

Dreams of you keep pounding me

Leading me to where I've never been

And the voice keeps telling me

This could be insanity

But I know my name as well as you.



Here I sit drivin' nails in the wall

Thinking I hear someone in my hall

She said that she'd be back in no time at all

Here I sit drivin' nails in the wall.



In the wilted patterns of my mind

Find that I've left you behind

Sowing up my torn memories

Surviving living, three bed room

Electric kitchen and living room

Just burning and it's on a new free way



Here I sit drivin' nails in the wall

Thinking I hear someone in my hall

She said that she'd be back in no time at all

When she is back I'm gonna nail to the wall...
