Intro
Verse 1
Rain beatin' down on a midnight moon
Oh baby, I'll be leavin' soon
Take me away
The winds are howlin' like an old freight train
Oh babe these are the winds of change
Take me away
Chorus
'Cause I've been sittin' on the front porch
Watchin' the world go 'round
Through the eyes of a fool, head like a rock
My whole world tumbling down
Rain beatin' down on a midnight moon
(slide) /9
Oh baby, I'll be leaving soon
Take me away

Verse 2
Grass around your ankles in the field before the flood
You're a rough-cut diamond in the Mississippi mud
Take me away
I'm a two-time loser with my guitar and my gun
You're a mover and a shaker and a lover in the sun
Take me away
Chorus
Tag:
(slide) /9
Mmm, mmm hmm ... take me away
