lyrics

THEY SAY WE SAW YOU ON A PRETTY GOOD NIGHT
YOU SURE SET COLD AND DARK BERLIN ALIGHT
I WASN’T REALLY LISTENING CAUSE I DIDN’T WANNA CRY
I HOPE I WRITE A SONG LIKE YOU BEFORE I DIE

WE WERE ALL OUTSIDE BEFORE ALEX CHILTON PLAYED
I WANTED TO TALK TO YOU BUT I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY
AFTER THE SHOW I GOT YOUR LATEST ALBUM SIGNED
YOU ASKED FOR MY NAME AND KIND OF LOOKED SURPRISED

FIGHTING YOUR DEMONS MOST OF THE TIME
LIVING IN CHEAP MOTELS PLAYING DIVES
IF A GUY LIKE TOWNES CAN’T SELL HIS TUNES
YOU REALISE THIS WORLD JUST AINT NO GOOD

IF I NEEDED YOU CHANGED MY LIFE
AND SO DID LORETTA AND TO LIVE IS TO FLY
SURE YOU MESSED UP ONCE OR TWICE
BUT TOWNES VAN ZANDT YOU SURE KNEW HOW TO WRITE
