| You don’t have to drink tonight why don’t we just get some sleep
|
| 'Cause I’m tired of cryin' in driveways as you slur the words you speak
|
| I know growin' up has been an evil thing to you
|
| Makes you awful hard to love from a lover’s point of view
|
| And I’ll never understand how you wound up in the shape your in
|
| But I’ll always be the fool who fell for you in your burnin' skin
|
| I’ll be prayin' for you and pinin' for you and hopin' you get some rest
|
| But from a lover’s point of view it’s all been hard to watch at best
|
| 'Cause from where I’m standin' you got a long climb ahead
|
| I’ll be there to wipe the vomit when you cannot lift your head
|
| 'Cause a lover doesn’t leave when times like these get dark
|
| I’ll be there to watch the sunrise when we reclaim your heart
|
| And I’ll pick you up downtown when you’re grinnin' with a busted lip
|
| 'Cause you’re not known for backin' down and those boys are known for talkin'
|
| shit
|
| But now’s about the time, look, you really got to decide
|
| Are you gonna be a good man to me or die the way you’re mother died
|
| 'Cause from where I’m standin' you got a long climb ahead
|
| I’ll be there to wipe the vomit when you cannot lift your head
|
| 'Cause a lover doesn’t leave when times like these get dark
|
| I’ll be there to watch the sunrise when we reclaim your heart
|
| You don’t have to drink tonight why don’t we just get some sleep
|
| 'Cause I’m tired of cryin' in driveways as you slur the words you speak |
