Taking Off The Edge Lyrics

I've been down on my luck, I've been down on my knees
Well I've been downtown and I've 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 girl I know just south of Tupelo
Her hair is dark and her legs are long and tanned
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 girl I know just south of Tupelo Her hair is dark and her legs are long and tanned
She rubs my back just right till way up in the night
Yeah, 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 of taking off the edge

And there's a little girl I know just south of Tupelo
Her hair is dark and her legs are long and tanned
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

Uh, uh yes sir
