LAY YOUR HEAD ON MY CHEST

We passed a truck carrying a heavy load
And then I drove you off the main road
Down to a lake of silver
You were cuter than ever
Then we went to swim for a mile or two
We did the breast-stroke and the butterfly too
The sight was amazing
Although the water was freezing

I’m not wearing an iron armor
So if you want to feel a little warmer
Anytime be my guest
Lay your head on my chest
If you feel cheated
Lied to or mistreated
What is good could be the best
If you lay your head on my chest

Then I fell silent and it was silly
I guess it must be running in my family
When we are bothered
We should tell each other
Then I felt a cramp in my leg and tears in my eyes
You told me the words of men who were famous and wise
They say “One who forgets is one who is smart”
And “you should never go swimming with a heavy heart”

You’d be sinking like a stone
Sulking in your corner all alone
Put your grudges at rest
Lay your head on my chest
Let me drive the car yo
And play good music on the stereo
From one town to the next
Lay your head on my chest

I’m not wearing an iron armor
So if you want to feel a little warmer
Anytime be my guest
Lay your head on my chest
You should let me drive the car yo
And play good music on the stereo
From this town to the next
Baby you should lay your head on my chest
