I Wonder Where Theyll Sleep Tonight - Henson Cargill

作词：D Linde

作曲：D Linde

A one year sentence is as bad as life to me

Cause my little family will never make their way

My wife and kids are far too sweet to fight the world

Like a little spring fresh girl on an April day

And I wonder what they'll do today

Will they gather empty bottles by the new highway

Oh what will they do today

I sit alone and watch the other men play cards

Where the sun lays flat and hard on a table top

I'd like to ride this sunbeam right out of this cell

Like a swallow out of hell and let this nightmare stop

Where are they this afternoon

Will they search for rags deep in the junkyard's silent gloom

Where are they this afternoon

When nighttime finally comes I shuffle off to bed

Filled with silent dread of what my dreams may bring

I lay there on my side and stare at that dark wall

And the teardrops how they fall as someone starts to sing

I wonder where they'll sleep tonight

Will they find an empty crate and hug each other tight

Oh where will they sleep tonight
