Back In My Baby's Arms



The four-lane runs with the moon tonight
Coal black sky but the stars are bright
I'm driving fast but I'm still not quite
Back in my baby's arms

Pushed this bucket for three straight days
One more night and I'll take my pay
Right back home where I'll laugh and lay
Back in my baby's arms

Back where my baby's arms pull the hurt
Of this world from my back
Like a sweat-stained work shirt
She'll wash me clean in love's sweet river
Baptize me in her smile

In this world happiness ain't no trick
Find somebody and make love stick
I know I'm right every time I kick
Back in my baby's arms

Back where my baby's arms pull the hurt
Of this world from my back
Like a sweat-stained work shirt
She'll wash me clean in love's sweet river
Baptize me in her smile again

So I race with the moon tonight
The grade is steep but my load is light
And I know I'm gonna be alright
Back in my baby's arms
Back in my baby's arms
