Change My Mind
Waylon Jennings · Six Strings Away [Bear Family] [1999]
If I should get a look of leavin' in my eyes
Put your arms round me woman and change my mind
If I ever seem too restless or dissatisfied
Put your arms round me woman and change my mind.
Don't let me seperate your love from mine
Don't let me leave you I might get the urge some time
If I do you'll know what to do to keep me by your side
Put your arms round me baby and change my mind.
--- Instrumental ---
If the gay life of the barrooms beckons me at night
Put your arms round me baby and change my mind
And if a new love ever tempts me that I should search to find
Put your arms round me woman and change my mind.
Put your arms round me woman and change my mind...
