Yeah
Met my love at a barn dance
We were buzzed and ripe of the sinnin'
Now I sing a song for a lost man
with his soul in tow behind him
My baby can't sleep in Tucson
My baby don't like the song
My baby can't shake the shadows that follow him home
Every shore line has it's sea
Every boat has got it's captain
That man keeps a .... over me
And he leans on me like I'm his mountain
My baby can't sleep in Tucson
He tells me to unplug the phone
My baby can't turn down a bottle that follows him home yeah
Ain't a something that's hard as something
But I never met a man love me like you do
you do yeah
MY baby can't sleep in Tucson
Behind the blinds he feels the sun
My baby can't shake the shadows that follow him home, yeah
I will follow him home, yeah
