Lyrics
Child bride
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A lovely, poignant song
About a man fated to be kept apart from his true love
Well, sometimes I dream of gettin outta here,
Headin down towards them old tracks
I swore I'd come and get her
But I know I ain't never goin back
Theres nights I can't sleep
No matter how hard I try
So from my window I watch the moonlight
Fall on the far hillside
I imagine I put on my jacket,
Go down to this little roadside bar
Pick a stranger and spin around the dance floor
To a mexican guitar
