Lyrics John Wesley Harding

John Wesley Harding

Roy Orbison Knows (the Best Man's Song)

Well your voice grips me tight like fingers

Takes hold of whatever's inside

Though we try to harmonize with different singers

When we're out of tune at least we'll know we've tried

Baby, it's a hopeless feeling

Leaves Mr. Logic reeling

I love you, I know

But what does that mean

When the only place forward is where we've just been

It's time to think twice

It's time to decide

Turn and keep walking or be my bride

Or be my bride

Or be my bride

Well Roy Orbison, he knows that I can't forget you

Well he told me last night at forty-five

Hope this honesty doesn't honestly upset you

He said a to lie is death to love', I know we're still alive

Baby when the morning's breaking

So many actresses have already started faking

I love you I know

But it's not such a big deal

I'm gonna tape you this song on my reel to reel to reel

It's time to think twice

Make up your mind

Take me to the altar or leave me behind

Or leave me behind

Or leave me behind

Well my memories, they lie to me just because they want to

Well, like a runaway train, you know I have no control

I'm gonna tell them where you live so they can go and haunt you

And take back all the parts of me you stole

But I no longer feel like crying

My nervous system's dying

I love you I know

But I'm anesthetized

I was foolishly hopeful, now I've realized

It was time to think twice

You had to go

I hope that you blossom, I hope that you grow

Write me a postcard, make it some little thing

If you get married, I'll carry the ring

If you get married, introduce me to him

Introduce me to him, introduce me to him
