Sweet Annie

I've been burnin' bright For so long I can't remember Pretty girls and late night bars seem to be my line of work Believe me when I say, I can't stay this high forever This man has had all he can stand, time to lay this body down Sweet Annie Can I stay with you a while? 'Cause this road's been puttin' miles on my heart Sweetheart, I've been livin' in a fantasy But one day lightnin' will strike And my bark will lose its bite But don't give up on me Sweet Annie Sweet Annie I know I promised you a life But with an empty bed and the words I said don't carry any weight If I could take back yesterday, find a way to start it over Turn around, put that bottle down and I'd pray it's not too late Sweet Annie Can I stay with you a while? 'Cause this road's been puttin' miles on my heart Sweetheart, I've been livin' in a fantasy But one day lightnin' will strike And my bark will lose its bite But don't give up on me What will be will be Sweet Annie Turn out the light These hands they long to hold you Fall all over you, all over again Come a little closer so I could show you My heart still beats fast for you All over, and over again Sweet Annie Can I stay with you a while? 'Cause this road's been puttin' miles on my heart Sweetheart, I've been livin' in a fantasy But one day lightnin' will strike And my bark will lose its bite But don't give up on me Sweet Annie
