Lyrics Waylon Jennings

Waylon Jennings

Straighten My Mind

A tiger always walks at night

And marks his prey while everything's still

He waits until it's unaware

And then he strikes and makes his kill.

That's the way you've done me girl

You never let me be

Couldn't feel the way I felt

So you'd tried to punish me.

Baby it's time to straighten my mind.

A spider's always busy spinning webs

That no one can get through

Somehow that spider always has

Reminded me babe of you.

You took the love I gave you

But you'll never let it live

That's the hang of girl

You know how to take but not to give.

Baby it's time to straighten my mind.

You've kept me like a river

Always clinging to the ground

I've got to get away from you

Before I sink and drown.

Baby it's time to straighten my mind...
