Keep an open mind to see me through these crawling times I'll shine anew Keep an open mind when I seem to be on all fours See, I'm stumbing just as fast as I can I'm gonna stumble out across this land When I stubbed my toes on your doorjamb darlin I was lucky to hit your hand Keep an open mind that I might find safe harbor And I come sailing to you from across the water I'll dry my sails and scrub my decks down clean And when the wind blows fair once more I'll weigh my anchor like I done before My bow'll be filled with treasures for you when I once again meet your shore You know I keep a nickel for luck tucked down in my shoe Nickel for luck tucked away for you I'm gonna ride that luck like the sailors in the days of old Like a sailor Keep an open mind that I might hide there when the writin on the wall got me runnin scared I'll duck into your alleys Where the street lamps dare not shine See I'm stumbling just as fast as I can I'm gonna stumble out across this land When I stub my toes on your doorjamb darlin I was lucky to hit your hand You know I keep a nickel for luck tucked down in my shoe Nickel for luck tucked away for you I'm gonna ride that luck like the cowboys in the days of old Like a cowboy You know I keep a nickel for luck tucked down in my shoe Nickel for luck tucked away for you I'm gonna ride that luck like two lovers in a picture show Like two lovers Just two lovers
