i’ve been burning bright
for so long i can’t remember
pretty girls and late night bars seem to be my line of work
believe me when i say i can’t stay this high forever
this man has had all he can stand time to lay this body down
sweet annie
can i stay with you a while
’cause this road’s been putting miles on my heart
sweetheart i’ve been living in a fantasy
but one day lightning will strike
and my bark will lose its bite
but don’t give up on me
sweet annie
sweet annie
i know i promised you a life
but with an empty bed and the words i said don’t carry any weight
if i could take back yesterday find a way to start it over
turn around put that bottle down and i’d pray it’s not too late
sweet annie
can i stay with you a while
’cause this road’s been putting miles on my heart
sweetheart i’ve been living in a fantasy
but one day lightning will strike
and my bark will lose its bite
but don’t give up on me
what will be will be
sweet annie
turn out the light
these hands they long to hold you
fall all over you
all over again
come a little closer so i can show you
my heart still beats fast for you
all over and over again
sweet annie
can i stay with you a while
’cause this road’s been putting miles on my heart
sweetheart i’ve been living in a fantasy
but one day lightning will strike
and my bark will lose its bite
but don’t give up on me
sweet annie
