drive by my house late at night
you can see from the freeway above no silhouette, but a light left on burning there for love smoke is rising from the fire coming out my back door i'm inside, sound asleep cigarette on the floor burning there for love well i can still remember a couple of years ago when the smoke and flame called my name it was a burning house of love that rusty nail over our front door is where i hung our tears in the rain i threw that horseshoe into the weeds to see what luck can bring cause you're in your bed, i'm in mine on either side of town i think i might take a ride and burn your love house down like a burning house of love |

I was with you when you wrote it
And I liked it better then Back when I thought you were mine And sang all your songs for me I liked this song when you were mine And i liked it better then The people in here They don't know that tonight I'm one of them Here's to you, and your voice on the juke box Here's to you I'm dancin' at the love shack Shakin' it down at the love shack Payin' for being a fool like that At this run down place they call the love shack Now the damn country loves you Your voice belongs to them They bought it for a quarter, and they sing along for a beer So just one more boys, whaddya say? One more if you please... and I might find a reason why you don't belong to me You can sing your song, boy, cause you sing it good Raise your glass to me When you're out on the road 'Cause tonight I paid my quarter And that still makes you mine Once I said that, but now I'm shakin' at the love shack Here's to you, and your voice on the juke box Here's to you I'm dancin' at the love shack. shakin' it down at the love shack Payin' for being a fool like that At this run down place they call the love shack |

a woman built like you, was built to serve my needs. carve intials on my back, wrap your arms around me. with your lovin' please, you're as good. i hurt you so...i gotta go. i wouldn't blame you a bit for never giving me a chance. you got red-rock too short, a gold-mine where they meet. long-fired arms, and a treasure chest where they meet. hold my hair and arch your back and scream. i hurt you so...i gotta go. i wouldn't blame you a bit for never giving me a chance. my soul cries your name over and over again. my soul cries your name over and over again. suck my heart into your haze, turn it into sex. front seat of my car, you were better than my bed. flames on your chest, hell's open gate. i hurt you so...i gotta go. i wouldn't blame you a bit for never giving me a chance. my soul cries your name over and over again. my soul cries your name over and over again.

on the golden road... someone carved our initials in the stone. i dreamed of curly blackhair... when you were there. our first rendevous... was in the devil's workshop come true. this was dirty, dark no-place... for a beautiful face. so why do you want to throw another chain... around my heart? and even i was a winner... even was if it was for a little while. you cut me and smile. while my so-called friends... quickly turned into strangers. you're the one that i love. so why do you want to throw another chain... around my heart? you don't even know me... anyway, i'm all torn up from yesterday. so why do you want to throw another chain... around my heart? you don't even know me... anyway, i'm all screwed up from yesterday. so why do you want to throw another chain... around my heart? why do you want to throw another chain... around my heart?

i've been havin' trouble puttin' my cigarettes out. and i've been having trouble with her. so i shut up...or talk too loud. the cigarettes smolder and smell, but they light up the room. so many times i think of romance, but i think i should leave you alone. when i get home... i'm gonna hang that picture where it' supposed to be. then i think i'll get up... and watch the sun go down. watch the sun go down. watch the sun go down. watch the sun go down. watch the sun go down. i wish i wasn't grown-up, so i could cry myself to sleep. and i'd like to follow you home, but it's awful hard on the bus. everybody's got the right to wrong. they come home and say "i'm sorry...". but i'm gone for 6 months at a time, and you're tired of the reason why. when i grow up... i'm gonna make something out of myself. then i think i'll get up... and watch the sun go down. watch the sun go down. watch the sun go down. watch the sun go down. when the sun goes down.

'cause it was night and that sun was goin' down. but it was still awfully bright. he's bright and shiny as a brand new penny, and he's bad and hot as a hemie. supercharged in my parking garage... he's so big...he's bad...so bad...so crazy. supercharged in my parking garage... supercharged in my parking garage... supercharged in my parking garage... he's so big...he's bad...bad...bad...bad..bad...so bad...he's crazy! supercharged in my parking garage... supercharged in my parking garage.
