From the recording Until the Oceans Rise, Vol. 2
Lyrics
I’ve been waiting for a girl like you to come back home to me
Now it’s dark and cold and lonely layin low in Tennessee
You been gone so long it’s starting to get hard for me to think
I been singing to this whiskey bottle just begging for a drink
I don’t know, will I lose it all if I let it go?
This is hard to bear, so I drive all night but don’t get nowhere
Got a picture in my pocket I keep checking to see if you were ever really there
I been waiting for a girl like you to buy me back the life I sold
It’s Saturday night walls are getting tight and this hot plate is getting cold
I’ve been waiting for a girl like you to solve this puzzled heart
But there’s you and then a version of you in my mind, and it’s hard for me to tell them apart
I’m off the track. Guess I jumped it trying to turn on back.
Oh what to do? Should I stop this train and start anew?
The one that I want only lives in my thoughts and bears a strong resemblance to you
I been waiting for a girl like you to come back home and set me free
It might be strange it might be futile, but I’m the latch and you’re the key
Oh so lonesome I will wait until I see your face again
Or til I find someone who looks like you and acts like you did then
I been waiting for a girl like you to come back home and set me free
Now it’s dark and cold and lonely layin low in Tennessee
You been gone so long it’s starting to get hard for me to think
I been singing to this whiskey bottle beggin for a drink
Beggin for a drink
I been beggin for a drink
