maybe i got a lover i ain't met
Maybe I got a lover I ain’t met,
I sure could use her now.
I need someone to make me forget
Everything that time allows.
Big dogs are smelling history.
You got to be careful where you walk.
Try to keep your past a mystery and pray that no one talks.
Most of life’s scorecards are uneven, most you don’t even see.
There’s Kansas City, Roger Maris and that pinstripe Yankee dynasty.
There's a lover waving her hanky as a gunboat slips out to sea.
It’s got lots of destinations.
Ain’t none of them is where you want to be.
There's lovers and there's saints.
Oh mother I can't hardly wait.
I'll take it any way that I can get it
For the chance to only touch heaven's gate.
Maybe you know my future lover.
Could you please send her to me?
I’m holding a compass and a magnet.
I’ll meet her anywhere she wants to be.
The earth it is requited, it’s got every last leaf from every tree.
It took all year for them trees to finally shake themselves free.
There's lovers and there's saints.
Oh mother I can't hardly wait.
I'll take it any way that I can get it
For the chance to only touch heaven's gate.
Most greasy spoons stay open all night,
Everything is slipping and sliding.
The cockroaches are always in sight, they got no incentive to be hiding.
Food quality is a matter of taste, like in some fancy restaurant
Where the roaches are all hidden and the food is everything that you want.
There's lovers and there's saints.
Oh mother I can't hardly wait.
I'll take it any way that I can get it
For the chance to only touch heaven's gate.
Maybe you know my future lover.
Could you please send her my way?
I’ll open every door for her even though I know that then she won’t stay.
Satisfaction ain’t easy to keep.
It’s got a wandering eye.
It’s as hard to keep as a lover no matter how hard you try.
There's lovers and there's saints.
Oh mother I can't hardly wait.
I'll take it any way that I can get it
For the chance to only touch heaven's gate.
