the rattle within

Singer:thompson, richard

oh

holy man save you from the dance with the devil

jesus save you from that bottle of gin

voodoo save you from a sleepwalk woman

who's gonna save you from the rattle within?

well

that voice might come when you're taking your pleasure

that voice might come when you're resting your bones

it'll seek you out when you're sad or smiling

it'll track you down when you think you're alone

just when you think that your horses are running

just when you think that you're fixing to win

there's that wondering deep inside you

who's gonna save you from the rattle within?

save me

save me

save me

from the rattle within

he wears your shirt and he wears your shoes

he's living right there inside your skin

you've got notions

and he's got notions

who's gonna save you from the rattle within?

well

a man's made of muscle and he's gonna wrestle

but when he gets weary

he ain't gonna win

who's gonna save you when the tank is empty?

who's gonna save you from the rattle within?

ah

just when you think that your horse is running

just when you think that you're fixing to win

there's that wondering deep inside you

who's gonna save you from the rattle within?

save me

save me

save me

from the rattle within

well

holy man save you from the dance with the devil

jesus save you from that bottle of gin

voodoo save you from a sleepwalk woman

who's gonna save you from the rattle within?

who's gonna save you from the rattle within?

who's gonna save you from the rattle within?
