And I love her Bright are the stars that shine Dark is the sky I know this love of mine Will never die I give her all my love That's all I do And if you saw my love You'd love her, too

I don't need nobody, need nobody but you I don't need nobody, need nobody but I don't need nobody, need nobody but you (you) I was the one you took home Never a flame to burn slow But I was hoping you'd see me a different way So many bodies I've touched

Fall in Tennessee Love I'd never let someone straight up disrespect you I'd never let someone call you out your name I'll always be the one that runs up to protect you ‘Cause I know if I was down you'd come and do the same So let's pack it up and move

Everybody's gone surfin' Surfin' U.S. A. Surfin' U. S. A. If everybody had an ocean Across the U. S. A. Then everybody'd be surfin' Like Californi-a You'd seem 'em wearing their baggies Huarachi sandals too

And I could be a gentleman, anything you want I’d like to be everything you want Hey girl, let me talk to you If I was your boyfriend, I'd never let you go I keep you on my arm girl, you’d never be alone Yeah, listen If I was your boyfriend, I’d never

And I know that you don't But if I ask you if you love me I hope you li-li-li-lie You look happy Flashing back to New York City Changing flights so you'd stay with me Now I wish we'd never met 'Cause you're too hard to forget

Promise I will be forever yours Promise not to say another word Never mind what's done is done Always was a lucky one If you'd like to walk a while We could waste the day Follow me into the trees I will lead the way Bring some change up to the bridge

But now I'm dead in the water Time washing over Where are you now? You know it weighs me down Pressure building all around You said you'd never let me drown The sacrifice Sinking till I'm out of sight You said you'd bring me back to life

When I fell into your eyes Never a doubt we would make it if we tried You promised you'd never break my heart Never leave me in the dark Said your love would be for all time But that was back when you were mine I felt the world was ours for the taking

Life goes by on a Talihina sky But everybody says this place is beautiful And you'd be so crazy to say goodbye But everything's the same, this town is pitiful And I'll be gettin' out as soon as I can fly Weeds blow tall on a broken train track Ruth B.
