Taking Off The Edge Lyrics - Singles - John Michael Montgomery

I've been down on my luck, I've been down on my knees 

Well I've been downtown and I've been down on the farm 

I can't be satisfied, but I'm gonna have to find 

A way to kick back and take off the edge 

Now there's a little girl I know just south of Tupelo 

Her hair is dark and her legs are long and tanned 

She rubs my back just right till way up in the night 

She knows how to take off the edge 

I've been laid up with the flu, laid off a time or two 

I've been uptight and I've been up a creek 

I'm gonna take my bamboo pole and head out to the fishing hole 

Don't you know it helps to take off the edge 

Now there's a little girl I know just south of Tupelo 

Her hair is dark and her legs are long and tanned 

She rubs my back just right till way up in the night 

Yeah, she knows how to take off the edge 

Now it's morning once again, oh, Lord I just punched in 

And I can't hardly wait till quitting time 

Gonna get that big brown jug all I need is a little slug 

Just another way of taking off the edge 

And there's a little girl I know just south of Tupelo 

Her hair is dark and her legs are long and tanned 

She rubs my back just right till way up in the night 

Well she knows how to take off the edge 

Oh, she sure knows how to take off the edge 

Uh, uh yes sir
