Your Heart On My Sleeve
Played a gig in Memphis late last Friday night
Singing those Beale Street blues
Neon temptations always putting up a fight
But they don’t stand a chance, I got too much to lose
Chorus:
No loneliness too strong
No winter night too long
No whiskey’s gonna make me lose my mind
No name bars, motel rooms
Just places that I’m missing you
Nothing new out here I’m trying to find
No matter where I go you’re always close to me
I’m wearing your heart on my sleeve
She hung out by the stage all night dancing by herself
Her eyes, that hungry kind of blue
She made it clear, yeah, I know the signs too well
I didn’t have to leave alone, but, baby, she wasn’t you
Bridge:
Rain’s beating on my windshield, I’m pushing through the storm
Till we’re under the covers, all tangled up and warm
