Sometimes you push it all away ; until she pushes back. When a woman wants a man ; I never thought she'd push like that. Just a drink away from death ; cigar stains on my lungs. Inches from a gun ; all I needed was another black cat. Walking to the beat of the night ; dark lady, could you be my light? No one by her side ; asking who am I? That's the question ; I've been asking all my life.
Well.
You push that hard, and I'll reply ; I'm the darkest thought, the one that asks why. I'm the cold life lost ; the one that don't die ; and if you push into my heart, you just might cry.
Well.
She didn't say nothin, just looked me up and down ; I could tell by that stare, I could live in her town. I've been a lot of places, done a lot of hurt ; never found a woman that could make it work. Diggin graves was easy, my heart was one ; but these old bones need more than dirt. And a man who loses his shirt ; needs more than a girl in a skirt.
I pushed real hard, I've even pushed through; But, woman, I wouldn't push you. Because this woman at my side...Well She can push too.
