Safe Place
Lyrics and music by American Gypsy (AKA Jodi Jarchow)


Well I don't ask for much, maybe just a smile,

And a little Jack Daniel's once in awhile.

I'd like to eat a meal, at least once a day,

And I'll smell the roses and I'll watch the children play.

But there is only one thing that I need.

I need a safe place where I can sleep.

Oh I need a safe, a safe place where I can sleep.

Well I can dance with the Devil in the bright sunshine,

Where I can see what's his and I know what is mine!

I can stand Lord, and I can fight,

But I loose it all when it's comin' on the night, yeah.

In the dark, nobody can see you bleed.

I need a safe place where I can sleep.

Oh I need a safe, a safe place where I can sleep.

You know the only one you can trust is you,

And everything else is a lie, it's true.

You know what I'll be doin' come each sun rise,

Well I'll be lookin' for a place where it's safe to close my eyes, yeah.

I pray the Lord my soul to keep.

I need a safe place where I can sleep.

Oh I need a safe, a safe place

Where I can sleep.
