Can't you see I'm waiting in the shadows To take your place
There is a chance But I'll keep trying To tell you the truth Then end up lying to you
Chorus: You said you were late And I planned my escape Such a happy thing Just another one of my mistakes So you held your breath And you cursed the west Said you had no choice You're moving back east where men are men
Your mother Never found a reason To hesitate
Now you're waiting For a warmer welcome In colder states
chorus
Love's got the border Why don't you feel free To cross my state line And bring yourself to me
It's a hell of a struggle Been grounded for years Words that I use up to, oh For your ears
