So your baby's got the whole town talking. and they say you better open your eyes. And you act as if you never saw it coming. even though you got some good advice.
I saw you talking to a friend of mine. I asked him what you had to say. You told him that I wasn't doing so good. I guess I couldn't argue either way.
When the sun went down. You were sitting under someone else's sunset. And I wasn't around. And you were wishing that I was a guy that you'd just met. .
I can make you a believer in fate. Divine intervention and signs of the sun. You came to me not a moment too late. With death at my door and time on the run.
Sadie got a six gun. She ain't afraid to use it. The banker took us straight down. To the safe and I blew it. The sheriff heard a big bang. In the broad daylight.
Set me free, set me free. I need a little more room to breathe. And the freedom to do what I please. Mama set me free. . Set me free, set me free. Let me see what I can see.
This road I'm on is blacktop and gravel. It's a faded blue line, this road I travel. And it's a well worn path, it's a cold bar ditch. It's a brakeman sleeping on a dead man's switch.
Lonesome and hungry I travel this land. Searching for some place called home. Faceless and nameless know only by fate. Destiny finds me no more should I roam.
She's shining in the moonlight. Staring back at a midnight sky. That girl's got love in her eyes. And they're cutting like diamonds. Leave me bleeding inside.
You beg my forgiveness. Say you're sorry for what you've done. Come crawling back to me. Like I'm your only one. . While I gave you my love. That wasn't enough.
I saw you standing. All by yourself. And I had to have you. Like everyone else. And I would have spoke up. I would have asked for a dance. But I know, yes I know.
How was California?. Did they teach you how to surf?. Was it everything they said it was?. Was it all that you deserved?. . Did you hate the Golden state?.
It was a place of contentment. And the family came by. For some goodbyes and good lucks. Then I left 'em behind. . In a rig from the old man. I watched the sun comin' up.
We laid around Dogtown a summer ago. Good ol' man winter was fresh out of snow. When the leaves had left town. She followed them out. Running from rural and cold.
You're hiding from love. You see, you don't need it. But if that were true. You could take it or leave it. . Well, you gotta learn to walk. But you're afraid of fallin'.
Nobody ever makes it last anymore. There I was looking for the easy way out. These days love is a revolving door. Cast aside at the first sign of doubt.
Well I got empty bottles and legal papers wrinkled up all over the floor. My pen won't write and my guitar doesn't have a song in it anymore. Well I can write another love song, yeah, but first you got to find someone to love.
I'm hanging up my walking shoes. I'm gonna bid farewell to the travelin' blues. No more chasing setting suns. And living on the run. . Yeah the highway's got what the dirt road's got.
Well I got empty bottles and legal papers wrinkled up all over the floor. My pen won't write and my guitar doesn't have a song in it anymore. Well I can write another love song, yeah, but first you got to find someone to love.
Johnny can't drink cause Johnny ain't twenty-one. Ya but he's eighteen and he's pretty handy with a gun.
