Sweet Annie

I've been burning bright for so long I can 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's 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 putting miles on my heart

Sweetheart, I've been living in a fantasy

But one day lightning 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

I'd 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 putting miles on my heart

Sweetheart, I've been living in a fantasy

But one day lightning 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 lights, these hands long to hold you

Fall all over you all over again

Come a little closer so I can show you

My heart still beats fast for you

All over and over again

Oh

Sweet Annie, can I stay with you a while?

'Cause this road's been putting miles on my heart

Sweetheart, I've been living in a fantasy

But one day lightning will strike

And my bark will lose its bite

But don't give up on me, sweet Annie
