One night in Kansas City after we had played the show. Shots rang out as I stumbled home. So I hid behind a dumpster in an alley down the street. I didn't want to know if they were shooting at me.
Well, you showed up looking just like I remember. Just like I knew you would. Worried if my heart was breaking just like it should. Working hard on your good time, showing off your new life.
You can't fool me, I can read you like a book. Well, I can see that leavin' in your eyes, I even know that look. You think that I don't know, you think I have no clue.
I see you, but I cant believe youre here. I cant believe youre near enough for me to touch. Why you wanting me so much?. . Youre back, youre back for one more try.
I don't know who I am or why I take it this far. I wish I could find myself but I don't know where you are. Woke up a little too late wearin' the same old shirt.
Everybody get your ticket, it's almost time. To set up this freak show, watch me unwind. For the next ninety minutes we'll be having the time of our lives.
You say we need to talk like I don't know. You start speaking soft trying to break it to me slow. You say you think you need some time away from us. Baby let me beat you to the punch.
Yeah, this is your love song baby. This is the part where I must confess. You're looking good in that pretty dress. Consider this fair warning. It's getting kinda hard to say goodnight.
It didn't matter Tommy Jackson was running free. Cause the man he killed never mattered much to me. There's talk in our town about where Tommy might run.
Does everybody know that im to blame. None of you friend up in Fort Worth even know my name. But even if I tried, well if i tried to be true. If I'd walk a line, I'd still be losin you.
Same old bedroom floor. Same old empty sheets. I hate this haunted bed. So down here is where I sleep. . I tried to find a place. To hide what you had left.
You look pretty good for all that you've seen. You're smiles still as bright as it's ever been. You won't show your eyes, scared that they might. Show all the world what you told me last night.
I don't need empty love words coming from somebody. That'll never love me like you do. I don't need to feel a warm touch from somebody else. 'Cause no other touch could be this true.
Woke up today and things have changed. The man I've become just ain't the same. Wanted to run but there was just nowhere to go. Livin' in a dream world, praying that it don't show.
A hand-me-down hot rod holding down the interstate. Life in the fast lane, staying out too late. Drunk on summertime, crazy and hard to hold. . A car full of dreamers parked in the parking lot.
The day she left me behind. i couldn't get her off my mind. thinking about all the times we had. but i'm a new man now. just don't ask me how. i know it's hard to belive.
I don't wanna. Go to sleep tonight. 'Cause in the mornin'. I'll be leavin'. . We can sit and talk. With the candle light. And even though I know it's comin'.
The only thing she left was a tear stained letter. Said it's too late to try and make things better. Guess she's good as gone. I left her lonely too long.
Know the wolf is always knocking. Behind your back somebody's talking. Yeah, the sun always sets at the end of the day. Nobody wins every game they play.
It's funny how some people dream. They put on a show just to be on the scene. I don't know how many times I've stood right here. And you still don't se me.
