Us Then

One, two, three, four Well, the buildings out in Brooklyn are taller than the clouds And I don't like who I am Sunday mornin', comin' down Tequila out in Texas is tougher on the tongue Than the devil that I met in Oklahoma when I's young I miss that old ball cap you stole from me Out in the woods around a fire in Eastern Tennessee And the beatin' that I got from them boys in Baton Rouge Was nothin' like the beatin' that I got from loving you Take me back to us then Where the time's told true And the sun does shine on a lawn chair holding you Take me back to us then Where there's a warm, warm light Radiatin' off a cheap smile Oh ma, I could die tonight And that creek we jumped in while you were shaking cold I never thought such heat would grow dry and old Takes blood and guts just to get to where we were Put on your dancing shoes, I will be him and you be her Take me back to us then Where the time's told true And the sun does shine on a lawn chair holding you Take me back to us then Where there's a warm, warm light Radiatin' off a cheap smile Oh ma, I could die tonight Take me back to us then There's a warm, warm light Radiatin' off a cheap smile Oh ma, I could die tonight
