Brought Me

Well, I have loved you for so long, I have no memory of fallin'

So long now it feels that we have never been apart

I hear you have a world away and know for whom you're callin'

I'd have said this years ago if I'd known where to start

Oh, now still beat 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've 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 barroom walls and buildings down on Main Street

Thought the moon would never set on our back alley room

In moments I found quality I thought could not be beaten

A thousand person choir has an affection all its own

Oh, now still beat 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've forgot who brought me

You kissed me in the parkin' lot, I gave you nothin' 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 still beat 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've forgot who brought me
