if it's yes or if it's no let's have a time before we go put on that disco flooze and i'll put on a pair of Dorothy's shoes she did too much dancing to ever get the blues It takes a fine young man to let go of a lady's hand it takes a fine young, and oh baby you're a fine young, fine young man come on, let's go for a dance how can something we both know is best be such a god awful test of the will and the mind get in your car and let's go for a ride the wind in your hair sure looks nice i never said we don't got our drugs you got your latest, i got mine hush but i clutch with the fiercest love what will become of you when there is no one to hold onto you no not the way that i do it takes a fine young lady to let go when she's good and ready it takes a fine young, and baby I'm a fine young lady so what if you don't like talking so what if I like flashy things just take me down to oregon inlet again you don't have to say nothing we can watch the boats ride in with the bouys guiding them, their lights saying go, leave, go, leave, come back again

if you're gonna kill something better look it in the eye if you're gonna marry someone better let your paint take its time to dry my mother lent me words with every bracelet on my wrist oh, wear gold, child, and keep an iron fist with you because every boy can't be your star crossed lover. not every boy with secrets in his eyes can be your long lost, souther blown in mother's boy, you love him oh so right palmreader won't truck with my hands. he gives a warning to me about wanting to be a boy in a rock n' roll band and he swears that Nashville's dead but i will kill the ladykillers that dare bring me her head, take an ax to the mattress where they wooed her to bed all boots and black electric guitar swagger no, not every boy can be your star crossed lover not every boy with secrets in his eyes can be your long lost, souther blown in mother's boy, you love him oh so right oh, to shed the girlish skin like snakes and speak the language of men so no more visits from you when i'm laying in the dark, y'hear? no more messing up my sheets and pulling at my peach slip in your nightmares. where does love begin and where does that devil end? you call out to me, confused in your sleep for a muse or a poet honey, don't i know it

take me home, take me home i feel i'm ready to be laid down. i live in a big house across the way from a diamond field, they play baseball games hear em call, chasing fly balls into my yard, gonna catch em all do you know where we're going now? come on, it ain't that far to walk we might catch the game fireworks go off how can you say no when you say my name so soft? i know what they say, tobacco town got smoke in her eyes. can't get it out. but I can see fine, you got a face for listening and i got a big bed we can both sleep in in except i get up early i never liked curtains always racing the coffee getting made up in the kitchen never a day i don't wanna be awake come on, it ain't that far to go what you so afraid of, boy? the road goes both ways so here is your highway love, don't you feel free tonight? tomorrow's so close a fleet-footed comfort, really. so, take off your shoes, don't let the lights fool you, this is a red dirt game. give it your clay hands, your last chance praying oh, daylight's coming. morning will be a sweet bird humming us awake
4.
how many lives did we live before we met? have i always been the rock in your riverbed? rushing over me, smoothening things out boy, you'd drown me in a drought but the universe parts us from time to time you've got your mountains to run down, i've got mine to climb. the wine, it drowns a lot out, too. I drink til I see four instead of two ~ his hands tuck me in to close my eyes to you so the monster never sleeps. one eye on the bedroom door, keeps a suitcase at her feet can't be beholden to nobody even if nobody can hold her like you do can't be a stone forever, if we'll be together gotta be blue and move like you
