If Today Doesn’t Do Me In Ian Noe

[Verse 1]
In a heavy rain standing
Off an old county road
'Side a high rolling river so swift
There was a hitchhiking stranger
Quite pale from the cold
On a cane, tryin' to thumb down a lift
Well, I pulled up beside him
And let my window on down
To the rain and the bone-chilling wind
Said "You look awful worn
In this late-winter storm
Which way are you headed, my friend?"

[Chorus]
"Right up to the spotlight
Drinkin' all that Coke and gin
And I'll be suit-wearin' man
With gold in my hand
If today doesn't do me in"

[Verse 2]
Behind a gas station counter
Moving crates full of things
That looked far too heavy for her
There stood a girl with a frown
Said, "Let me just set these down
And I'll be right with you, sir"
I said, "No hurry here
Take all the time that you want"
She said, "A little time and you just wait and see
Oh, I'll be without a care
When I finally get there"
I said, "Miss, tell me where might that be"
