lyrics
VERSE 1:
she once told me,
her love would never leave me,
now im stranded,
with this old guitar,
the bass line heavy,
im bumping loud mista music,
and good lovin,
never seemed so far,
no no no yeah
CHORUS:
you, dont remember,
how my lovin used to taste
from the rhythm to the beat
its the word on the street,
and your lipstick trace
left a mark i could not erase,
could not erase
VERSE 2:
so now im treading,
but walking through the city i’ll be dreading,
boys in blue might catch me,
for shootin down her lover boy
no i cant go home,
i got the county sheriff on the telephone,
i told him i cannot condone,
sitting in a cold metal cell all alone,
and when the wind blew by,
the scent of the plumeria
sun in my eye,
she left without a warning
and no time for goodbye
she gave up the mission,
worst ever decision,
now
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
walking through the city
with a guitar in my hand,
i told the sheriff
im a traveling man,
i understand
oh i understand
i gotta chase a vision, like your gotta chase those bandits
redhanded,
understand this,
she come to take all my love
and romancin,
then run off dancin,
he pulled out his cuffs
said “sir, put your hands in”
CHORUS.
