Turnpike Troubadours - Brought Me
Well, I have loved you for so longI have no memory of falling
So long now, it feels that we have never been apart
I hear you half a world away
You know for whom you're calling
I'd have said this years ago
If I'd known where to start
Whoa now, it still beats steady
This heart I handed you for free
Should you ever need a thing
It won't be hard to find me
Standing at the ready
With a dance or two still left in me
Wager that it won't appear
That I forgot who brought me
You've torn the place asunder
And you've left the party early
Looked at me with tears
As if a lost and lonely child
Your status suits you well
But do not think that you can fool me
This polish and reserve
Barely hides that you are wild
And we've echoed off of bar room walls
And buildings down on Main Street
Thought the moon would never set
On our back alley Rome
In moments I found quality
I thought could not be beaten
A thousand person choir
Has that affection on its own
Oh now, it still beats steady
This heart I handed you for free
Should you ever need a thing
It won't be hard to find me
Standing at the ready
With a dance or two still left in me
Wager that it won't appear
That I forgot who brought me
You kissed me in the parking lot
I gave you nothing clever
Damages and injuries
Were far beyond repair
Submitted to the shape of things
This time it was forever
At an old barroom in Tulsa
I looked up and you were there
Oh now, it still beats steady
This heart I handed you for free
Should you ever need a thing
It won't be hard to find me
Standing at the ready
With a dance or two still left in me
Wager that it won't appear
That I forgot who brought me
