Take Me Out

lyrics

TAKE ME OUT OF THIS WORLD

Sometimes my problems seem so
insurmountable that I cannot solve them
And I let depression in like
it had a reservation for a table
I let the little things whittle me down
Till there's nothing left of me to be found
And I get so wrapped up in myself
That I cannot recognize you
Standing in the tunnel with a light ready to

Take me out of this world when you put your arms around me
Take me out of this world I'm in a free fall spin

Whatever it is that makes this world
spin so crazy Is the very same thing
that makes me want to jump off at
the corner of life and death
And I hope it's not the same all Street
Where I once stood watching the rain
Falling into a little brown puddles that
Carried my reflection away from me
I got so dizzy that I called out for you

Take me out of this world when you put your arms around me
Take me out of this world I'm in a free fall spin

I wander in and out of a conscious state
But it has no flag of it's own
To wave in the face of the enemy
who is always ready to be the enemy
If only there was a way
for all of us feeling so separated
to drift together with one thought
Maybe we would not feel
like Adam when he said to Eve before the fall

Take me out of this world when you put your arms around me
Take me out of this world I'm in a free fall spin

Inspired and influenced by early country, blues, rock and pop
Jeff Smith writes songs and tells elongated and elliptical stories about them. Jeff's Appalachian drawl slides in and around his guitar playing and Smith says “on a good night the stories and songs swing on top of a funky kind of country blues pop stomp”.
