Lay Lady Lay fue escrita por Bob Dylan y originalmente estaba destinada a formar parte de la banda sonora de la película Midnight Cowboy, pero no se entregó a tiempo. La canción se destaca por sus letras románticas, un cambio notable en comparación con el estilo de protesta por el que Dylan había sido conocido anteriormente. El ritmo relajado y los acordes suaves contribuyen a la sensación cálida y acogedora de la canción.
