Lyrics Emmylou Harris

Emmylou Harris

Wrecking Ball

My life's an open book

You read it on the radio

We've got nowhere to hide

We got nowhere to go

But if you still decide you want to take a ride

Meet me at the wrecking ball wrecking ball

I'll wear something pretty in white

And we'll go dancing tonight

Meet me at the wrecking ball wrecking ball

I'll wear something pretty in white

And we'll go dancing tonight

I see your smokey eyes right across the bar

I've seen that look before shining from star to star

Though I can't take that chance

If you've got time for one dance

Meet me at the wrecking ball wrecking ball

I'll wear something pretty in white

And we'll go dancing tonight

Meet me at the wrecking ball wrecking ball

I'll wear something pretty in white

And we'll go dancing tonight

The restless line of cars

Goes stretching down the road

But I won't telephone cause you might say hello

What is it makes me feel this way

What is it makes me want to say

Meet me at the wrecking ball wrecking ball

I'll wear something pretty in white

And we'll go dancing tonight

Meet me at the wrecking ball wrecking ball

I'll wear something pretty in white

And we'll go dancing tonight
