right outside this lazy summer home u ain't got time to call your soul a critic no right outside the lazy gate of winter's summer home wondering where the nut thatch winters wings a mile long just carried the bird away wake up to find out that u are the eyes of the world the heart haves has its beaches its homeland n thoughts of its own wake now discover that u are the song that the morning brings but the heart haves its seasons its evenings n songs of its own..
let your memory drift n do nothing @ all all the love that u missed all the people u cant recall do they really exit @ all well the whole world seems so cold today all the magic's gone away n our time together melts away well i don't want to drift forever in the shadow of your leaving me so i'll lite another cigarette n try to remember to forget it's so easy to slip it's so easy to fall...
if u're down n confused n u don't remember who u're talkin' to concentration slip away because your baby is so far away don't be angry don't be sad don't sit cryin' over good times u've had there's a girl right next to u n she just waitin' for something to do love the 1 u're with..
well i spent a lifetime lookin' for u single bars n good time lovers were never true playing a fools game hopin' to win n tellin' those sweet lies n losin' again i was lookin' for love in all the wrong places lookin' for traces of what i'm dreaming of hoping to find a friend n lover i'll bless the day i discover another heart lookin' for love..
runnin' down the street yellin' @ the top of his lungs all i want in this life of mine is some clean fun let me put my money in your meter baby so it won't run down but u caught me in the squeeze play on the cheesy side of town throw me a line show me a sign ..
here is a taste of the great rum runners ships that sailed the velvet harbor crews that broke the jugs n poured your blood upon the sand here is fire n bloody slaughter written on the leaves of water their dreams tattered sails in the wind..
u tell me u're lonely i know how u feel leaning up @ the bars rocking back on my heels she's a wild bird that wanders too easy to stray i knew she had to lose me to find her own way a wave on the ocean a whirlwind on the sand i took a notion that her ship could not land then lite me a candle in the forest so deep honey lay down here beside me angels rock us to sleep i'll be coming soon through the louisiana pines to the mississippi moon..
