American Longspurs' latest single from upcoming album.
lyrics
I hail from a city out on the west coast,
Where them girls are awful pretty, prettier than most.
Tank tops and brown skin, cutoff blue jeans,
They don't leave much room for guessing if you know what I mean.
So you hocked the old guitar your daddy bought used,
When you graduated high school, "here's to following through, son."
He said but you don't mind, she's a one of a kind,
And you bought a diamond ring, you're gonna walk that line.
But you know she don't walk no line.
So boy, don't get your hopes up,
That's what they do, they'll break your little heart in two.
So let 'em gaze on up at you with the fire in their eyes,
And you'll promise, "honey, my love is true but that whiskey feelin's leaving and in the morning, darling, you will too."
So let's gather up the fellas on a Saturday night,
And we'll head on into town, we'll make that young boy drive.
'Cause you know them girls are out, running around,
Lookin' for a man who knows how to lay 'em down.
And you know we know how to lay 'em down.
So boy, don't get your hopes up,
That's what they do, they'll break your little heart in two.
So let 'em gaze on up at you with the fire in their eyes,
And you'll promise, "honey, my love is true but that whiskey feelin's leaving and in the morning, darling, you will too."
