Till I Gain Control Again
Waylon Jennings · Triple Feature [2009]
Just like the sun over the mountain top
You know I'll always come again
You know I love to spend my morning time
Like sunlight dancing on your skin.
And I have never gone so long just for telling lies to you
What you've seen is what I've been
There is nothing that I can hide a few
You see me better than I can.
Out on the road that lies before me now
There are some turns where I will spin
I only hope that you will hold me now
Till I gain control again.
--- Instrumental ---
Just like a lighthouse you must stand alone
And mark the sailor's journey's end
And no matter what sea that I've been sailing on
I'll always roll this way again.
Out on the road that lies before me now
There are some turns where I will spin
I only hope that you will hold me now
Till I gain control again...
