Time To Stay Home Lyrics - Jerry Jeff Walker

Jerry Jeff Walker 

This is a time to be cautious; this is a time to be smart 

This is a time to consider the options, be careful with games of the heart 

A time for young fellas to carry umbrellas 

And considering the climate, you really might find it 

The right time to stay at home 

The booze gets your liver, but when you consider 

The condition of water, a man really ought to 

Abstain for the night and just stay home 

It's dangerous out on the freeway, its dangerous out in the bars 

Everybody's mad at somebody, it's dangerous to drink and drive cars 

Whiskeys's bad for your liver, but stop and consider 

The condition of water, then maybe you ought to 

Find a good book and stay home 

AIDS is to real to be foolish, it's changed all the rules we play by 

You can't take chances in other peoples' pants it's 

Too risky to just casually try 

Now I only smile at our social lifestyle 

It all leaves me believing I'd find more relief in 

Some Earl Klugh and the refuge of home 

So now I turn off the porch light, next I'll unplug the phones 

I'll get on my robe and my jammies, a nice fire sure warms the bones 

I might write a letter, but what I like better 

Is taking my guitar down and playing an old song 

That makes me feel glad I stayed home
