I been burning bright
For so long
I can't remember
Pretty girls
And late night bars
seem to be
my line of work
Believe me when I say
I can't stay this high forever
This man's had
all he can stand
Time to lay this body down
Sweet Annie
Can I stay with you a while
'Cause this road's been
putting miles on my heart
Sweetheart I've been
livin' in a fantasy
But one day
lightning will strike
And my bark
will lose it's bite
But don't give up on me
Sweet Annie
Sweet Annie
I know I promised
you a life
But an empty bed
and the words I said
don't carry any weight
If I could take back yesterday
Find a way
to start it over
I turn around
put that bottle down
and I pray it's not too late
Sweet Annie
Can I stay with you a while
'Cause this road's been
putting miles on my heart
Sweetheart I've been
livin' in a fantasy
But one day
lightning will strike
And my bark
will lose it's bite
But don't give up on me
And what will be
will be
Sweet Annie
Turn out the lights
These hands long to hold you
Fall all over you
All over again
Come a little closer
so I can show you
My heart still
beats fast for you
All over
and over again
Oh oh
Sweet Annie
Can I stay with you a while
'Cause this road's been
putting miles on my heart
Sweetheart I've been
livin' in a fantasy
But one day
lightning will strike
And my bark
will lose it's bite
But don't give up on me
Sweet Annie
