lyrics

Jonny Burke (Dedpan Music, BMI)

the road blistered in the mid-morning summer sun
come five o'clock it'll be too hot to leave
but all the sister's gonna shake it when the evening comes
and all the boys be too gone to leave, singin'

chorus
come stand, if and when you want to
if you stand there's a chance you'll fall
and if you fall i'll be right here waitin for you
i'll be there to break your fall

we took a hard left in a straight six
we laugh it up and lap it up to get our kicks
i'm cryin fine times in the wine lines
i'll be damned if i keep goin' like this

chorus

some don't want nothin, if they can't have it all
i'm lookin for a girl not too short but not too tall
and round about the eyes, her smile says come on in
come try and win me, i know you're up to the task
and once you ask
we'll outlast them in this whole thing
plan it out like it's the last thing
that we ever do
hey it's just me and you
i'll track you with my mind and we'll make it just in time, singin'

chorus

come stand any way you want to
if you stand then you'll surely fall hard
and if you fall i'll be right here waitin for you
i'll be there to break your fall
