Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself You say I've been spending my money on other women You've been taking money from someone else I called your mama 'bout three or four nights ago Come back home baby, try my love one more time Well your mother

Waiting, waiting, waiting Whiskey in my hand Staring out the window For one more second chance Hoping headlights Come pouring round the bend Saying baby wait Up I'm coming home I'm still all alone

We live, we love, we lie Hello, hello Is this a place that I call home To find what I've become Walk along the path unknown Deep in the dark I don't need the light There's a ghost inside me It all belongs to the other side (We live, we love, we lie)

Girl you ain't much fun since I quit drinkin' I sobered up, and I got to thinkin' Now I'm feedin' the dog, sackin' the trash It's honey do this, honey do that I used to come home late and not a minute too soon Barking like a dog, howling at the moon

said about playing this chord He ain't hitting the be flat right I'm a make a hit If it's the last thing I do And I done come home to you And you done put your cold feet on me Get warm your feet, woman Hanging around the studio For three days in a row

And I'll destroy the memories one by one The bitter past erased I'll not replace What's done is done No belief is all that's left and I do not regret The darkness welcomes me back home! The day has ended I lay awake A soft glow over my shoulder

And I'll be me Why don't you be you Just let it be So come on, let it go Everything that's broke Leave it to the breeze From walking home and talking loads Seeing shirts in evening clothes with you From nervous touch and getting drunk

'Cause since I've come on home Well my body's been a mess And I've missed your ginger hair And the way you like to dress Won't you come on over Stop making a fool out of me Why don't you come on over Valerie? Well sometimes I go out by myself

I'm the king of the night time world And you're my headlight queen Come live your secret dream I'm the king, I'm the king, I'm the king, I'm the king It's so sad, livin' at home Far from the city and the midnight fun It's so bad, goin' to school So far

Waiting, waiting, waiting Whiskey in my hand Staring out the window For one more second chance Hoping headlights Come pouring round the bend Saying baby wait Up I'm coming home I'm still all alone
