Lyrics

When we were young Did you ever once think that we'd ever end up here? Layin' side by side Enough that you would reconsider The potential for a mistake that you might make If you left this all behind But it's just a risk worth taking I guess When you know you can do better and I'm far from the best But who in the right mind would write this song for you? Honey, I ain't no cowboy And this is the best I can do So you wake up one morning on some lonely interstate Driving off into the distance, carrying the weight of a thousand memories Until you meet some prince and start spending your nights With Amsterdam's finest til he shuts out the lights And in his arms you fall asleep But still you crawl into your hole of constant doubt With a conscience so strong that you can't get out But freedom has never been that far out of reach It's just a small price to pay for not practicing what you preach Sometimes I think about her when I'm standing alone She's left a few scars around And a piece of my youth He's gonna write her endless poems about how he feels And he leaves them on the nightstand You know you never can tell But she believes he's telling the truth But last night I had me a funky little dream Where she was on a red eye flight And she was twisting her ring That wouldn't be right But neither is waking up alone Left with his imprints on her bed sheets And the last lines of a drunken love song
