Wreck of Me 03:37
Wreck of Me We used to ride that washed out road Headed for the bright lights of town With the red dust ghosts and the raw fence posts Shakin’ like a born again when the spirit comes down With the moon so bright, we’d cut the lights Just listen to the static on the radio Till some song burned clean or we made it alright Down that washed out road and home She said “it ain’t gonna make a wreck, It ain’t gonna make a wreck It ain’t gonna make a wreck Out of me” If I head out tonight till the light of day With just a tune and a taste for something like sin They say sometimes you have to lose Before you turn around around and win Well some might say that I lost my way Got tangled in a couple bad turns But I made it this far tailing one lost star And I appreciate your concern But it ain’t gonna make a wreck It ain’t gonna make a wreck It ain’t gonna make a wreck Out of me Sidewinder out of control Broke down and left by the road Some songs it’s true never quite make it through They just get buried under static and snow I said I wanted to leave her but we both knew She was the one who had to go And in my dreams, she always gets away clean And slips across the borderline Fine as dust and lit up like the night Still free I guess, or at least not mine But it ain’t gonna make a wreck It ain’t gonna make a wreck It ain’t gonna make a wreck Out of me Wreck of me

Your Only One Come let me spin you around I’ll be your shadow Under the bright lights And no one will know where we’ve been Out on the edge of town Driving that same road That we travelled down Watching the markers flash by My love with the wandering eye And you move so easy no iron fence could hold you Like the tall grass sways when the day is done Play that old song one more time now Make me believe I’m your only one Out on a Saturday night The lights on the dance floor Don’t shine quite as brightly As when I first walked through that door But ain’t it a hell of a note They’re playing that old song But the timing is all wrong And the sweet words just sound like a lie To my love with the wounded eyes And you move so familiar you’re hard to let go of And where would I go if I knew how to leave? So spin me round slowly till the dancing is done I’ll let you believe I’m your only one Come turn that wheel once again If we could make Utah And the old Moke Dugway We’d park and just watch the world spin Moving in three quarter time We’ll put to rest all the worst and the best And we’ll dance till the sun starts to rise My love with the light in your eyes And the dancing is easy when there’s no fence to hold you The tall grass sways and the day is done Play that old song one more time now Make me believe I’m your only one Make me believe I’m your only one
