I'm not sure what I did just yet. But something kicked in on the night we met. Look's like her hearts out of control. What she's gonna do next, I don't know.
Well my heart didn't skip a beat. When I saw you standing there. Looking like some kind of angel. Like you were walking on air. And the earth didn't move.
In the early rush of morning. Trying to get the kids to school. One's hangin' on my shirt tail. The other's locked up in her room. And I'm yellin' up the stairs.
When I rode out of Dallas. Chasing down a dream. I thought I knew what I was looking for. But the neon nights have blinded me. 'Til I'm lost in Tennessee.
I smell the fragrance. Of your hair. Feel your fingers and your breath. On my skin. When we're here alone like this. A crazy world makes perfect sense.
In the early rush of morning. Trying to get the kids to school. One's hangin' on my shirt tail. The other's locked up in her room. And I'm yellin' up the stairs.
Long-legged shadows. Mississippi sunset. She was standing like a candle. That hadn't been burned yet. The wind was blowin'. Clouds like ashes. Had my hand in my pocket.
They say that smokin' ain't allowed in here. But I don't care. Try to sneak you some. Saw your buddies at the barber shop. And they sure fight a lot. Just like they've always done.
Why you talkin' with 'em baby. How come they're sippin' on ice cold beer. Why you rubbin' maybelline on 'em. When you should be puttin' those lips right here,.

He lost his job that mornin' stopped off and bought a fifth of pride. A reality eraser, a little taste to help face her that night. He broke his same ol' promise when he showed up with whiskey on his breath.
She left her boots she wears in the rain. She left her lady razor. She left a note that I can't explain. On the refrigerator. She left a book she's been reading for days.
Everybody needs somewhere to run. Sanctuary. Somewhere to rest when the day is done. When the world's been heavy. Baby you're my sacred place. You whisper words of saving grace.
You stepped out of a dream. You are too wonderful to be what you seem!. Could there be eyes like yours,. Could there be lips like yours. Could there be smiles like yours,.
You are too beautiful, my dear, to be true. And I am a fool for beauty. Fooled by a feeling that because I have found you. I could have bound you too.
What good is the scheming, the planning and dreaming. That comes with each new love affair. The dreams that we cherish, so often might perish. And leaves you with castles in air.
Old black magic has me in its spell. Old black magic that you weave so well. Those icy fingers up and down my spine. The same old witch craft when your eyes meet mine.
And now the purple dusk of twilight time. Steals across the meadows of my heart. High up in the sky the little stars climb. Always reminding me that we're apart.
I look at you and suddenly. Something in your eyes I see. Soon begins bewitching me. It's that old devil moon. That you stole from the skies. It's that old devil moon in your eyes.
Pride, sad, splendid liar,. Sworn enemy of love. Kept my lips from saying. Things I was thinking of.. But now my pride you've humbled,. I've cast it to the winds,.
