I wander helplessly day by day. It's so much easier to run away. My mind is spent, my body sold. Never knowing which way to go. . I'm always there for you, baby.
I'm looking out into the ocean. This boy in a boat that I am. Through the haze I can catch a glimpse. Of the damage that's been done. Miles like minutes they pass as I row.
Hold me tight, don't say goodnight. And I'll let you know that I care. Wait a little longer, don't let me be. And I'll comfort you from the storm. . It's been a long night, tomorrow's another day.
I was a fool I was so much younger then. The night she took me by surprise. I should have known all the trouble that I'd be in. But then she hooked me with those eyes.
Freedom came my way that night. just like a jet plane IN and out of sight. I was hauling ass at a million miles an hour. wondering how hard I'd hit. When they came into the station.
In a rusted red Chevy with a heart full of glory. She left that night. A suitcase at the door open wide let the cold air come in. And then she asked me for a light.
Let me check this out.... Take this shit out.... Candy... So fine.... Yeah... babe.... . It's my favorite kind. Would you let me take a bite. I can taste it now.
Keepin my eyes on the road this time around. Keepin my hands pressed to the wheel. Something so strange as a woman has got me down. Ain't gonna be your damn fool again.
Sittin' in this lonely town. Wonderin' when things are gonna change. Dreamin' my life away and it seems them dreams. They turned into a bunch of dust clouds.
Nobody knows where she came from. She was everybody's lover and everybody's former friend. With all of the known variations. Her story get's told again and again.
Here comes sweet Nadine. I see her face just like the perfect dream. She's long and she's lean. And the fire in her eyes could burn a hole. In my soul right through me.
Well now everything is rosy. And the money's so well spent. This kind of education. Is worth every cent. When your momma pays the tuition. And your dadddy pays the rent.
I was born in the southland, down there in Texas, U.S.A.. I was never supposed to know a moment. Of unhappiness in my life. Somehow it didn't work out that way.
