Janie, Don't Take Your Love to Town
Sitting here just watching you sleepWish I could slip inside and be in some technicolor dreamBut the air's too thick for one of us to breatheI'm not fool enough to think you couldn't live life without me
I didn't come this far to throw the towel inI didn't fight this hard to walk awayIf I ain't smart enough to say I'm sorryIt's just because the words got in the way
I remember how it used to beI was you and you were meWe were more than just the sameNow these shoes don't fit, my skin's too tightWhen you want a kiss, I take a biteLet your heart call up the cops, read me my rightsLast night I drank enough to drownRaise a toast to your good looks and to my healthLook, we both know how much I've let you downJanie, don't you take your love to town
Janie, don't you take your love to townJanie, don't you take your love to townIf I gotta beg, I'll beg, just don't walk awayJanie, don't you take your love to town
You deserve a shooter, a saintSomeone to give it to you straightTo find the soul through flesh and boneMy life's a treasure, full of sunny weatherBut it's left me feeling coldNow all you wanna do is take me homeI hated you, the night you said you loved meI hated you, 'cause I couldn't love myselfI'm begging you now, baby please just hold meI got one foot in, one foot off the ground
Janie, don't you take your love to townJanie, don't you take your love to townIf I gotta beg, I'll beg, just don't walk awayJanie, don't you take your love to townJanie, don't you take your love ...
Sitting here while you're fast asleepIn the bathroom by the sinkTrying to write the right words downI turn out the lights, close my eyesThere ain't no prayers or kiss goodnightWhat I'll forget to say tomorrow, I'll say nowJanie, don't you take your love to town
Janie, don't you take your love to townJanie, don't you take your love to townIf I gotta beg, I'll beg, just don't walk awayJanie, don't you take your love to town
