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

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
