WHEN NOBODY WANTS YOUR BODY ANYMORE
(Tom T. Hall)


Tom T. Hall - 1972


You were meant for me and there ain't no two ways about it
Even on my darkest days, ah, they couldn't make me doubt it
Someday things are gonna be the way they were before
When nobody wants your body anymore

Leave me, I don't worry, darlin', you'll be back
Honey I'm not braggin', I'm just statin' the facts
The ocean always brings each piece of driftwood back to shore
When nobody wants your body anymore

(Instrumental Break)

I know they have you now, sweetheart, they don't know what they got
Heaven is still heaven when the weather ain't so hot
When all is done that will be done, you'll knock upon my door
When nobody wants your body anymore

Leave me, I don't worry, darlin', you'll be back
Honey I'm not braggin', I'm just statin' the facts
The ocean always brings each piece of driftwood back to shore
When nobody wants your body anymore
Unless somebody wants my body before
