I spent the last year paying a stranger to listen,. to childhood thoughts about the love I am missing.. . I've fallen for one of betrayal,. Distraced and the book holds..
Trapped in a rut and I can't get out. Don't see a way to be free. Working at it everyday nothing that I do. Or say can break my poverty. My desperate eyes will close tonight.
Alone in a room with shadows staring at the wall. Gotta shade my eyes for a moment try and understand it all. Disappear I'm just a ghost left over from another day.
Now they got girls in Georgia. They got girls in Maine. They got girls in the wild wild west. That drive most men insane. . And when you hear you take the noise.
As she drags on a cigarette. You can tell it's been her first pack. A leopard coat and piled high hair. Thick makeup, skin tight slacks. Tonight she's steppin' out.
Mama told me when I was three. The street'll never get you no where. You take a street car jumpin' and back beat bump. And get along like it isn't there.
Well, mama told me when I was three. Lord, the street'll never get you nowhere. You take a street car jumpin' and back beat bump. And get along like it isn't there.
There ain't nothin' that'll rattle your chain. Like the top laid back on a Chevrolet. And the things the midnight makes you say. When you fall in love.
She has got the swing, alike in my backyard. She has got the move but she don't go too far. Shock and shiver, quake and quiver. She'll deliver when you're with her, yeah, uh huh.
Am I the only one who's runnin' 'round in Rosie's mind tonight?. Was there a fight?. And could there be another behind that look in Rosie's eyes tonight.
The neon moon was lookin' over her shoulder. She was sippin' wine and tellin' lots of tales. When the bar flies are off the wall. It's hard to stand up straight and tall.
We still bop and our cars run hot, we're out cuttin' the fool. We're tearin' the town, got the top laid down like we're back in school. I got a white sport coat and blue suede shoes.
I can see you've thrown my old slippers out the door. And once again, I'll hide 'em like I've done those times before. Honey, they just got to where they're feelin' good.
Look at us now, livin' on the edge of it's all over. I'm wondering how we got to be this way at all. Hearts on the line, got us lookin' in both directions.
Alone in her room. Got on his favorite perfume. But she's goin' nowhere. She took a chance. . And saved the last dance. Oh but he doesn't care. She's a lonely girl.
A reckless heart was beatin'. In that restless girl of mine. And I was thinkin' that she'd be alright. . That train has been around. And now it finally crossed her mind.
She's got my picture in her locket. I got my hand in her back pocket. Walkin' through the night in our home town. . We take our time as we go strollin'.
We pulled out of Charlotte, the snow is fallin' down. We make our way in this one-eagle sleigh, till we reach another town. Our name is in lights on the billboard signs, in every town we play.
I could not repay in one lifetime. All the love you gave me. You've become such a woman. Still you let me call you baby. . I love you now and I always will.
He said he was the grandson of Johnny B. Goode. Some thought he couldn't but I thought he could. He set his mind talkin' about Elvis lookin' like James Dean.
