sweet little thing
constant in my thoughts
sweet little thing
somehow we both got lost
and you tell me that i can't change
and you say i'm such a boy
sweet little thing
friends say i'm no good
sweet little thing
never understood
the way i stayed up all night
the way i trembled in your arms

a kiss will make you close your eyes
a kiss will make you stay
please don't walk away
i like to know your there
though there's nothing left to say
please don't walk away

sweet little thing
maybe i ain't no good
sweet little thing
i ain't done what i should
let them think what they want
but all i want is you


. . .



smokin' cigarettes; more than i should
my hands won't stop shaking and that can't be good
i would forget you, if only i could
think about anything else
slow dance at the end of the night
everyone's looking; who cares if it's right?
your head on my chest; i held you so tight
don't care what they have to say
our feet were too drunk to keep step in time
but we held fast and we made it through fine
hell, you smiled a lot

chairs on tables; they're mopping the floors
but we were still dancing just like before
you held me tight
light from the disco ball surrounds us with stars
and i looked like trouble right from the start
you told me so

that slow dance didn't last very long
so now i guess i'll be moving on
but it was nice
god damn, it was nice


. . .



It's nights like these.
They make em sleep all day.
It's nights like these
that make you feel so far away.
It's nights like these
nothing is for sure.
It's nights like these
I dont want you anymore.

Now I've only got
this one wish,
that I was good enough to make you forget
the only boy who ever broke your heart,
cause nights like these tear me apart.

It's nights like these
The sad songs dont help.
It's nights like these
your hearts with someone else.
It's nights like these
I feel like givin up.
It's nights like these
I dont seem to care as much.

Now I've only got this one wish,
that I was good enough to make you forget
the only boy who ever broke your heart,
cause nights like these tear me apart.
Beer tastes like blood.
My mouth is numb,
and i cant make the words i need to say.
She had a weakness for writers, and I,
I was never that good at words anyways.

I've only got this one wish
I wish I was good enough to make you forget
the only boy who ever broke your heart,
cause nights like these tear me apart.

well she smiles oh so sweetly
and i ain't so lonely
and she acts just like she don't need me
and i ain't so lonely
we drive down to the corner drug store
and i ain't so lonely
coca-cola pills; take a few more
and i ain't so lonely

it's been a while since i was nineteen
been a while since i've seen myself act like such a fool
how long must this go on tonight?

by myself on a long drive home
and i ain't so lonely
'cause i like hearing the sad songs
and i ain't so lonely


. . .



well i'd stay with you tonight my love
stay the whole night long
but the boys are singing those old sad songs
and i'm singing along
well i hear the snare drum's slow, sad march
i hear those fiddels cry
and i must go to them my dear
or else i'd stay the night


. . .



she's sitting right there on the chain link fence
she's down at the park with the rest of her friends
and she looks so pretty, but she's only sixteen
didn't know that when she smiled at me
now the boys are hunched over with their electic guitars
i'm lying in the grass beside my car
follow her down to the dixie freeze
now hold on, hold on, hold on to me

sweet girl, don't let go for the world
'cause i'm not from here and i'm afraid that i might never see you again

now it's the end of the summer and i'm just twenty one
i've been in california for the last two months
and there weren't no girls like her down there
her boyfriend don't like me and i think that's fair
'cause i'm sitting right here on a chain link fence
when she smiles at me i'm going to take my chance
i'll say 'i know the show's over, i wish you wouldn't leave
hold on, hold on, hold on to me'

sweet girl, don't let go for the world
'cause i'm not from here and i'm afraid that i might never see you again


. . .



well i'm sorry my dear
i never thought the end was so near
a heart full of snakes and a belly full of rage
has left me with a fistful of tears

wave the ocean, wave the sea
after i'm gone, won't you remember me sometimes

water's deep dark and blue
there ain't nothing left to do
so darling be strong, i'll cross before long
and i'll wait on the far shores for you

wave the ocean, wave the sea
one day those waters will bring you back to me

never done one thing right, now i'm saying goodbye
please darling, don't cry


. . .



little mary lee
she always sang so sweet
on the banks of the river
running through downtown
the show tonight with the sweet, sweet sounds
cross to tennessee
sweet, sweet mary lee
her voice is calling me back home
to the banks of the river where i belong

you know there is one last song
now the band is giving it their all
she says 'these are the best of days
won't you stay and dance with me a while?'

little mary lee
she always sang so sweet
the pain in your heart
is rock and roll
the tears in your eyes
is rock and roll
little mary lee
she always sang so sweet
the kiss on your lips
is rock and roll
the blood is your veins
is rock and roll

you know there is one last song
now the band is giving it their all
she says 'these are the best of days
won't you stay and dance with me a while?'


. . .



she says she was going home
i said 'i'll be fine by myself'
and i thought that she wanted me
but she was thinking something else
now the sun was coming up
but still i couldn't see exactly how she felt
well i thought that she wanted me
but she was thinking something else

and now it don't take much to see inside my heart
i was never any good at telling lies
and it don't take too much to see there ain't too much to me
here behind these eyes
i miss you when you're gone
please don't stay gone too long
i miss you when you're gone please don't stay gone


. . .



i think i'll just stay right down here on this floor
'cause if i get back up, i'll only fall down more
it ain't the liquor; it ain't the beer that keeps me down
it ain't the sad songs or the heartache
it ain't even this town
well i must've had a pretty good time to end up here
made a pretty good run; caught up with me, my dear
there's no need to make a fuss 'cause i'll be alright
just let me lay here a while, 'till i can stand up right

now i'm just a little bit tired, that's all
and don't make me get up, 'cause i'll just fall

now please stop talking so loud and just let me sleep
i ain't in nobody's way; they can step over me
and i think i'll stay right down here on this floor
'cause if i get back up, i'll only fall down more

now i'm just a little bit tired, that's all
and don't make me get up, 'cause i'll just fall


. . .



it's close to two a.m.
i'm giving up trying to find her
i lost my heart under the neon lights
at the starlite diner
she used to sit 'cross the table
smokin' her cigarettes
well that was then
now i've got this booth all to myself
i see her eyes i see her smile
i hear her laugh
memories too close to home
for something else now coming back

i lost my heart by those neon lights
at the starlite diner one november night
and how i thought i could make it
now i see that i might die
alone
my heart gone here at the starlite

jukebox don't know 'as the graveyard shifts
shakes rattles and rolls'
since the night i lost my heart
sad songs are all i know
waitress brings me a coke
calls me "darling"
i thought about my girl
drinking coffee, smoking her 'camel wide'
she was the sweetest in my world

i lost my heart by those neon lights
at the starlite diner one november night
and how i thought i could make it
now i see that i might die
alone
my heart gone here at the starlite


. . .



little girl your still far too young
to have a heart that's been so broken
it might seem you ain't got no one
well, i'm here for you
told your momma before she died that
i'd stayed right by your side
now i have to leave just a little while
but i'm here for you

hardest part there is about dying
don't want to leave your life behind you
i know your momma wouldn't want you crying
so i'm here for you
loved your momma more than she loved me
when you were born i was far from tennessee
i came back home to hold you close to me
and i'm here for you

your far too precious to me
i only want what's best for you
that might not include me
well i know it's true
but i'm here for you


. . .



well i'm not supposed to see you looking
i'm not supposed to stare straight into your eyes
into your eyes
well i'm not supposed to kiss your lips
but you smile so sweet
i can't resist those eyes

now you say you might have eyes for me
and i can only wish that you were mine
that you were mine
well i'm not supposed to be here with you
but how can i leave if you look at me with those eyes
into your eyes

well i'm not supposed to kiss your lips
but you smile so sweet
i can't resist those eyes
