lyrics:	verse 1: Three days on trains and I keep thinkin' I keep sinkin' further down The nights are long and days are cold here on the lonely side of town Three ways to change the way I'm livin' and quit givin' up the ball But right or wrong I'm better off than doing nothing at all chorus: I'm going to take my time I'm going to take what's mine I'm going to take you by the hand. I'll keep my dreams in sight I'll sleep to dream tonight I'll speak my mind and take a stand . . . . . . and take my signals from the band verse 2: Three days on barstools and I keep drinkin' beer and winkin' at a girl My drinks are free tonight but I'm all right—I'm payin' by the pound Three ways to meet her but my feet are tired of giving it a whirl But up or down I'm better off than running 'round, 'round, 'round. chorus: I'm going to take my time I'm going to take what's mine I'm going to take you by the hand. I'll keep my dreams in sight I'll sleep to dream tonight I'll speak my mind and take a stand . . . . . . and take my signals from the band
