Record Store

I drove through two states, you hate

To make sure you're alright

You're a beauty, but You look like hell

Standing in this light

We got a glass full of hours

Before a roadie picks you up and take you back

I can't call you by your stage name

You're still the girl I know

That hated wearing dresses and loved the radio

Do you still bite your lip till it bleeds every time that you get sad

Meet me at the record store

Even though it ain't there anymore

You can sing to me that song

About time moving on

I wanna love like I loved you when I could

I came from white trash, whiplash, road rash from a bike

You drank from a wine glass, stage pass,

In your belt loop tied little baby made it out of here

When ambition was the only drug you tried

You found a chain-smokin, soft spoken, house broken man

Only so you won't be lonely and all because you can

And when you tell me things are perfect

Your hand starts to tremble when you lie

Meet me at the record store

Even though it ain't there anymore

My god it's been so long

What the hell went wrong

I wanna love like I loved you when I could

What if things had been different

And you ended up with me

Would you have stayed here in the Bible belt

And had a family

All the cocaine and yes-men

You sadly all believed in

Let you walk the wire without a net

I cried a thousand nights for you

When I could feel your pain

Those times the bottom fell through

Like a dog left in the rain

All lovesick and loaded

Come on let's go back to where we met

Meet me at the record store

Even though it ain't here anymore

I'll fumble through our song

And make you hum along

You can love like you loved me when you could
