You don’t know what someone’s like until you go
You don’t know what someone’s capable of
Till they’re desperate, high and dry
It’s easy to get sleazy when your backs against the wall
Now I think it’s time for me to fall
The sun is setting fast on my Blue Ridge home
Nightfall in the Land of Sky is dark indeed
Don’t you know
As long as I have stayed up I have still to see sunrise
Now I think it’s time for me to shine
But it’s hard to leave when the drinks are free
It’s hard to laugh with you all when the joke’s on me
I thought I had the sense God gave to come in from the cold
Now I think it’s time for me to go
It’s hard to leave when the drinks are free
It’s hard to laugh with you all when the joke’s on me
I thought I had the sense God gave the common buffalo
Now I think it’s time for me to go
