I watch your house from fade into the horizion From the back of a pick up truck Back to texas in the summer I smell you on my t-shirt I'm just a ghost Your just a dream The stars are bright out on the Highway Once you climb down from the light You start to see the dark is someonelse Someone other than the son My breath is steam outside a bar now Breath you once felt on your neck Cherry stems Jack Daniel twilight All of these girls have eyes so bright But not as bright as your sleeping form A window full of pale moonlight I hear you whisper in my drunken hour How your never gonna leave A kiss I think has no distance The phone gives me your kiss on the cheek So I go home back to a lonley motel With dying lights and floating moths Empty packs of ciggarettes I watch the ashes fall and blown in the wind I can't hear your voice I sleep alone here every night
But you sleep soundly on his bed now you took off that little ring that I worked day and night for While you sleep away from me
I hear your yell o'r the reciever Hollering a name I know How he loves you and he treats you Better than you've ever known Does he work his fingers to the bone Barbed Wire DUST
Sleeping doesn't come so easy Sleeping won't do any good Beer and STAR-FILLED Nights in texas A lone star state of mind Old country on the radio That my grandad listened to
