Thomas Owen - Lover In My Blood

I met a man down in southern Arkansas
Leaning his elbows up against that pinewood bar
He said, boy, come on in, let me tell you just one thing
I could feel the fire on his breath as he showed his crooked teeth
He said, listen closely, boy, cause I'll only say this once
I've been around so many years, but Lord, I still ain't found the one
And I've flipped up every rock and stone in this God-forsaken town and more
The only ones that brought me home's whiskey and the rum, whiskey and the rum

And I drink, drink, drink till I fall in love
Waiting on somebody else to show me how it's done
And I think, think, think, and I don't say much
Waiting on this barstool for the lover in my blood
The lover in my blood

So I sat down in the corner and watched him from afar
One after another, the old man emptied out the bar
And looking at that man I see thunder in his eyes
I see the fire on his tongue, I feel lightning in his mind
And I wave that barman down and have him pour me one on ice
The old man's close to dying, closer than he is to life
And I can't take my eyes off him, yeah, I stay away the night
After so three or four, the old man's darkness turns to light
His darkness turns to light

And I drink, drink, drink till I fall in love
Waiting on somebody else to show me how it's done
And I think, think, think, and I don't say much
Waiting on this barstool for the lover in my blood
Yeah, I drink, drink, drink till I fall in love
Waiting on somebody else to show me how it's done
And I think, think, think, and I don't say much
Yeah, I'm waiting on this barstool for the lover in my blood
Lover in my blood
