Short Term Long Haul

Three o’clock leaning out on a road side stand
With the dust in her hair, Natty in her hand
She was caught up on fence like broke down tumbleweed
Said I was a little too pretty for such a dull name
and treated every question like a mind game
Never wanted a slow life, but said I might her speed
She said she was all about a good time
but she could dig my style
for a long or a little while
and call it a short term long haul
Or maybe just a just for a lifetime booty call
Saying baby I’m just here for the alcohol
With a chaser of love
She said she ain’t here for the slow dance
Just a momentary longterm romance
I’ll take a shot of you when you get a chance
With a chaser of love, chaser of love
Tells the dirtiest jokes but leaves out the bad words
and says she isn’t ready for the suburbs
as she telephones an order to the bartender next door
Treats me like a center of the universe
But swears she’ll hit the road if I come first
And give me everything she got with one foot out the door
Saying mister, "I'm happiest I’ve ever been
Laying around in this life of sin, at least
until the moonshine kicks in"
We'll call it a short term long haul
Or maybe just a just for a lifetime booty call
Saying Baby I’m just here for the alcohol
With a chaser of love
She said she ain’t here for the slow dance
Just a momentary longterm romance
I’ll take a shot of you when you get a chance
With a chaser of love, chaser of love
She says baby I'll love you if you love me
Give me a minute and I’ll give you three
and five if you’re half the man that I think you are
I don’t need unwanted company
But I’ll stay with you while you set me free
And you can dream me someday
When you’re crying in your car
Calling it a short term long haul
Or maybe just a just for a lifetime booty call
Saying Baby I’m just here for the alcohol
With a chaser of love
She said she ain’t here for the slow dance
Just a momentary longterm romance
I’ll take a shot of you when you get a chance
With a chaser of love, chaser of love

Falling from your lips the invitations spin
To this whole crazy world you say you're living in
Tempting as it seems to cultivate my saccharine piece for now
still, somehow
You never crossed my mind
Just let the words unwind
And then you’ll know the reason why you say you love me
Telephone charade, you're calling me again
one more evening of your erudite amends
Call of the parade, I'll just take the same old tired routine
Hard to believe, but
You never crossed my mind
Just read between the lines
And then you’ll know the reason why you say you love me
You never crossed my mind
Just let the words unwind
And you’ll know the reason why I say I love you too
Color me once slinging you blues
Tainting my sentimental moods
Even the best brushes you choose
Could never change the way that I feel about you
You never crossed my mind
Just read between the lines
And then you’ll know the reason why you say you love me
You never crossed my mind
Just let the words unwind
And you’ll know the reason why I say I love you too

Don't Wait Up For Me

Once upon a gravel road about a million miles ago
I promised that I’d be coming home to you
If you knew the things I’d seen from Tucson down to Aberdeen
You’d know my words are usually untrue
So don’t wait up for me when I’m gone
when I’m gone, just move along
Nothing about the way you smile, the way you laugh or how you cry’s
the reason I’ve been rambling for so long
So please don’t blame it on yourself, you see, I’ve just got nothing left
To bring me back on home when I’ve done wrong
So don’t wait up for me when I’m gone
when I’m gone, just move along
I can still recall the words you said to me that pretty birds were put upon this earth for which to fly
well, I’m a bird soaring from the hurt I’ve seen and things I’ve done, so take the nest and leave me with goodbye
So don’t wait up for me when I’m gone
when I’m gone, just move along
