Storm clouds rising, flash of lightning. Rattles that old porch swing. Window open, curtains dancing. Just you and me. As the thunder rolls on, we'll just hold on,.
(Tony Martin / Mark Nesler). . In my mind I'm thinner and I'm taller. Younger too with a little more hair. I saw myself going so much farther. . (Chorus).
Well I left Louisiana. Lookin' for some higher ground. Trying to make my crazy dream come true. But six months in Atlanta. Done tuned my heart around.
Do I Want You? Yes I Do. Do I Need You? Baby You Know It's True. But I Ain't Got Nothin' That You Can Use. So I'm Sittin' On My Own Here, With These Poor Boy Blues.
You can tell everyone love is over and done. You can pack all your things and go. You can lie to yourself and say theres nothing else. But theres something I think you should know.
At night the wind blows in the rain. Against the window pane. I hear you call my name. Your voice whispers in my ear. The words are still so dear. It's almost like you're here.
Well, early this morning it dawned on me. The kind of man she wanted me to be. She made a list and laid it there beside me on the bed. Now what I shoulda done keeps running through my head.
Don't get me wrong, I'm doing all right. Can't you see I'm OK. I'm not at home all alone every night. I'm out here dancing old memories away. . But it wouldn't hurt to have wings.
The alarm clock Ting'a'ling. Ringing in my head. I woke up dog tired beat down, half dead. Trying to recover from another wild weekend. Chugging down coffee while I shoulda been sleepin'.
My oldest brother Tommy was a lineman rest his soul. His job was hanging hot wires on them power company poles. I said with all of that high voltage don't it scare you half to death?.
Im dying to forget about those goodbye words you said. I thought everything was right but you went and left instead. No pain, no gain, well Im not out to win.
We sit alone in the darkest corner. Waitress comes and takes our order. And she looks at us so suspiciously. It's plain to see that we're lovers. Tryin' to be alone with each other.
Sittin' at a table conversation. Me and my buddies. I follow what they're sayin'. 100% of the daily events. But the minute she walks in my direction. Well there goes my span of attention.
Heres some things about me you might wanna know.. Im gonna tell you even if you dont.. I come from the country, I still been to town.. An' I like dogs but just not in the house..
I dont know how Ill get her off my mind - but give me time. Ill think of something. I cant say that Im all right - but by tonight. Ill think of something.
Why couldn't I hear the sound of your heart breakin'. Why couldn't I see the mistakes I was makin'. Why didn't I feel the distance in your kiss. Well I can't let you get away with leavin' me like this.
[Chorus]. You think you using me. Like this games new to me. But you ain't confusing me. You just want jewelry and all them fuckin shopping sprees. But that ain't stopping me.
(Tony Martin / Mark Nesler / Tom Shapiro). . Your eyes have been a different kind of blue. I can feel the sadness when I'm touching you. It's as if lately you've been standing in sinkin sand.
spending my time on a girl i know. and she keeps me clean. a first rate whore knockin at my door. yeah miss pristine. a french maid,get paid,touch the floor.
Ever since you told me we were through. Ive been down, Ive been down. The love you said Id find to take your place. Never came around, never came around.
