Can't you see
I'm waiting in the shadows
To take your place
There is a chance
But I'll keep trying
To tell you the truth
Then end up lying to you
Chorus:
You said you were late
And I planned my escape
Such a happy thing
Just another one of my mistakes
So you held your breath
And you cursed the west
Said you had no choice
You're moving back east where men are men
Your mother
Never found a reason
To hesitate
Now you're waiting
For a warmer welcome
In colder states
chorus
Love's got the border
Why don't you feel free
To cross my state line
And bring yourself to me
It's a hell of a struggle
Been grounded for years
Words that I use up to, oh
For your ears
