Lyrics

I fell asleep on the back roads
I got myself in a jam
I’m running low on tobacco
And I don’t know where I am
Remember dancing in the ballroom of a seaside hotel?
You were dancing all alone, yes I remember well

I don’t care nothing for love songs
They’re too pretty and too bright
Just sing me something full of rain water
Something I can howl through the night
Oh we were running through the tunnels like two robbers on the run
You gave me one last chance to make right what I done

And I want to do right
Just want to do right
Right by you

I tell myself it’s the last year
I’ll keep hanging on
I break away, I end up back here
It must be where I belong
I left you standing in your doorway shaking in a Tuesday rain
But now I’ve fallen off track and so I’m crawling my way back again

And I want to do right
Just want to do right
Right by you

And now I’m waiting by this pay phone back behind the station door
And I remember you were dancing in the dark light of that ballroom
Rolling like a wave that strayed too far from shore

And I want to do right
Just want to do right
Right by you
