 [Intro 2x]

Dsus Dsus [every line of every verse]

You've got a baby pretty as a Creole queen

And my old man's got eyes of blue and green

But you took me dancing when our lovers weren't around

You called it losing time in the in between

Ohh ohh ohh

Could be all the booze we drank in Austin

Could be we're just scared of growing old

Could be this ain't no way of living

But there ain't nothing like that rock 'n roll

Chorus

 And when that light shines on you baby you know it - soothes my soul

Finding time to lose with you is water - in the dust bowl

 I got arms to hold me every night

 But I'm still sleeping - with a ghost

 Your kisses are so sweet and slow

 It feels alright as long as they don't know

We rolled out of a hotel room in Georgia

Just in time to say a quick goodbye

But you don't even look over your shoulder

You're thinking how you'll look your baby in the eye

Chorus

Swe - et like sugarcane

Slo-ow like a midnight train

 You like to call me every now and then

 And I just can't wait to lose some time again

lose some time again

Chorus

... as long as nobody knows

 Nobody knows
