It's time now for the show

Put on my makeup, away I go

 I'll say a prayer

 That I will see you out there

So when the show is done

 You'll take my hand, away we'll run

 Along home, to make supper

So we can eat each other

My lover, I'd rather be

 Under than getting over you

 That way, you will never lose me ever

My lover, I'd rather be

 Under than over you

 That way you will never lose me

Blank staring at the road

Eighty miles to Idaho

 There's too much nothing in me but caffeine

My eyes strain to stay open

Fantasies, memories, hopes, and

Thoughts of you flow through my waking dreams

Boise's up ahead

Gotta wake the boys and get

All the gear and get the show on

Broken hearts still beat and go on

My lover, I would rather be

 Under than getting over you

 That way, you'll never lose me ever

My lover, I would rather be

 Under than getting over you

 That way, you'll never lose me

Oh I'm coughing up my lungs

All curled up on the bus

Fever staring in my cup of tea

 And now we're back in California

"Hey Storm, five minute warning"

Everybody's waiting there for me

This here is my life

Wasn't made to be nobody's wife

Though I could love you always

And I will love you always

My lover, I would rather be

 Under than getting over you

 That way, you'll never lose me ever

My lover, I would rather be

 Under than getting over you

 That way, you'll never lose me ever

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

This is how we met, my friend

Rock and roll, the road, and endless nights

 In a hotel bed

 And I'll never forget

My lover, I would rather be

 Under than getting over you

Oh...

My lover, I would rather be

 Under than getting over you

 (Ah, ah, ah!)

My lover, I would rather be

 Under than getting over you

 Oh that way, you'll never lose me ever

My lover, I would rather be

 Under than getting over you

 That way, you'll never lose me ever ever oh

My lover, I would rather be

 Under than getting over

My lover, I would rather be

 Under than getting over you!
