| You’re moving back to Oklahoma
|
| Back to the palace of the plains
|
| Now if I saw you would I know ya
|
| You never did forget a face
|
| You’ve got a job that pays the bills now
|
| But you’re just barely getting by
|
| You’re drunk again and taking pills now
|
| But you can’t catch it if you try
|
| Let me go low
|
| And it’s not enough
|
| And I know it’s tough
|
| When it’s almost love
|
| Soft as the wings of a morning dove
|
| How do I live with the things that I’ve done
|
| And I know that the meaning’s good
|
| That I’m almost gone, that I’m almost there
|
| All that I know is that I want you back
|
| That I want you back
|
| That I want you bad
|
| You’re on again about the empire
|
| And we’re just idly standing by
|
| You’re singing songs around a campfire
|
| Like we could change things if we tried
|
| Let me go low
|
| And it’s not enough
|
| And I know it’s tough
|
| When it’s almost love
|
| Soft as the wings of a morning dove
|
| How do I live with the things that I’ve done
|
| And I know that the meaning’s good
|
| That I’m almost gone, that I’m almost there
|
| All that I know is that I want you back
|
| That I want you back
|
| That I want you bad
|
| And I know we all make mistakes
|
| I’ll get you back no matter what it takes
|
| And I hope we can work it out
|
| All I know is that I need you now |
