Cheatham Street Warehouse Lyrics - Snider Todd

Waking up late in the afternoon 

An old piano playing just out of tune 

To the buzz of the heat through the telephone line 

Some kind of song about a bottle of wine 

I knew it was you by the sound of your feet 

Pushing the pedals and keeping the beat 

We're a million miles away from those days now 

You can't get away from me 

You can't get me wrong 

I know how to keep you here 

Where you know you belong 

In a song 

A Cheatham Street Warehouse honky tonk song 

The kind Billy Joe just can't get wrong 

I'm gonna carve my name in the bar 

Hope that you can hear it where you are 

And wherever you are I'll be hoping you know 

Wherever I am I'm missing you so 

No longer a million miles away from anything 

You can't get away from me 

You can't get me wrong 

I know how to keep you here 

Where you know you belong 

In a song 

Working on the last few lines last night 

Trying to find a way to make it end alright 

Telephone rang it was you 

You asked if I was working on anything new 

I didn't have the heart to tell you about 

The one I think I'm finishing up right now 

No longer a million miles away from anything 

You can't get away from me 

You can't get me wrong 

I know how to keep you here 

Where you know you belong 

In a song
