Lyrics Townes Van Zandt – All I Need

Tried everything
Set me free
But my chains keep playin’ tricks on me
And all I need is a place to lay ’em down

My friends, they speak
And the words ain’t lies
Like clouds of fish they fly
And all I need is a boat
To take ’em home

And girls I see
They see me
Then we’ll say goodbye
All I need is a bed
To call my own

Ah my baby’s eyes
See how they shine
For his life be like mine
All I need
Is a way
To take his load

Oh but when good times
Come fallin’ over me
Breath turns to melody
All I need’s gonna fall
Away like dreams
