Roy Orbison Knows (the Best Man's Song) Lyrics - John Wesley Harding

Well, your voice grips me tight like fingers 

Takes hold of whatever's inside 

Though we try to harmonize with different singers 

When we're out of tune at least we'll know we've tried 

Baby, it's a hopeless feeling, leaves Mr. Logic reeling 

I love you, I know but what does that mean? 

When the only place forward is where we've just been 

It's time to think twice, it's time to decide 

Turn and keep walking or be my bride 

Or be my bride or be my bride 

Well, Roy Orbison, he knows that I can't forget you 

Well, he told me last night at forty-five, hope this honesty 

Doesn't honestly upset you, he said, "To lie is death to love" 

I know, we're still alive, baby, when the morning's breaking 

So many actresses have already started faking 

I love you, I know but it's not such a big deal 

I'm gonna tape you this song on my reel to reel to reel 

It's time to think twice, make up your mind 

Take me to the altar or leave me behind 

Or leave me behind or leave me behind 

Well, my memories, they lie to me just because they want to 

Well, like a runaway train, you know, I have no control 

I'm gonna tell them where you live so they can go and haunt you 

And take back all the parts of me you stole 

But I no longer feel like crying, my nervous system's dying 

I love you, I know but I'm anesthetized 

I was foolishly hopeful, now I've realized 

It was time to think twice, you had to go 

I hope that you blossom, I hope that you grow 

Write me a postcard, make it some little thing 

If you get married, I'll carry the ring 

If you get married, introduce me to him 

Introduce me to him, introduce me to him
