Taking Off The Edge

(larry cordle/larry shell)



I been down on my luck

I been down on my knees

Well i been downtown

And i been down on the farm

I can't be satisfied

But i'm gonna have to find

A way to kick back and

Take off the edge



Now there's a little gal i know

Just south of tupelo

Her hair is dark and her legs are long and tan

She rubs my back just right

Till way up in the night

She knows how to

Take off the edge



I've been laid up with the flu

Laid off a time or two

I've been uptight

And i've been up a creek

I'm gonna take my bamboo pole

And head out to the fishing hole

Don't you know it helps to

Take off the edge



Now there's a little gal i know

Just south of tupelo

Her hair is dark and her legs are long and tan

She rubs my back just right

Till way up in the night

She knows how to

Take off the edge



Now it's morning once again

Oh, lord i just punched in

And i can't hardly wait till quitting time

Gonna get that big brown jug

All i need is a little slug

Just another way to

Takin' off the edge



Now there's a little gal i know

Just south of tupelo

Her hair is dark and her legs are long and tan

She rubs my back just right

Till way up in the night

Well she knows how to

Take off the edge

Oh she sure knows how to

Take off the edge
