Last week in Atlanta. I met her at the Freaknik. In a black truck. With a short haircut. And a gang of her homies. And she was on me 'cuz she said she liked cali men.
If you hear some footsteps walking close behind you in the night. And you look around and no one do you see. If you feel someone is watching you and there's no one in sight.
Well, I love this life but it's doing me in. Just in case I don't ever see you again. I had a real good time. I love the wine. The women and song and the carryin' on.
In the name of progress. Big old building's goin' up. And in the name of progress. Another Mom And Pop shop bites the dust. . That old home town flavor.
I've almost read the ink right off the paper. I've read your letter through so many times. With every word I ache and ache to hold you. It's enough to make a woman lose her mind.
I'm alright (I'm alright) I'm alright (I'm alright). I'm a little bit red in the eyes a little bit hurt in the heart. A little bit weary in the soul but I'm alright (I'm alright) I'm alright.
If it's all the same to you if you don't love me like before. I don't think I'll hang around and let you hurt me anymore. If it's all the same to you if your love has really gone.
Can't believe I'm strung out. Sitting in this lonely place. When all I can remember. Is the sound of the door when you left me here. . Can't believe you've run out.
Just because your love is gone don't think my life won't still go on. Because you wanted to have your fling it's not the end of everything. The world still turns the sun still shines there's lots of guys for hearts like mine.
The nights were dark and long, I spent a million all alone. But I never once stopped loving you. My world was cold and still, my dreams lay unfulfilled.
