INTRO

Well everything changes baby,
Ain’t nothin’ in this whole wide world ever stays the same.
Your future plans were nothin’ but sunny days,
And now you're standing out in the pouring rain.
Well how could anyone pick up your heart,
Just to watch it fall?
And that lighthouse that stood on the hill for you,
Now don’t shine no light at all.

Well I know he let you down.
He failed to keep you safe and warm.
When the cold wind blows and the rains come around,
I wanna be your break in the storm.
Woah woah woah woah,
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah.

I know there’s been darkness in your life,
I wanna help you find the sun.
‘Cause I’ve been there when the sun don’t shine,
Girl you ain’t the only one.
There ain’t nothin’ more natural than your own lover,
Nothin’ can compare.
But when you’re alone and the lightning crashes,
I wanna hold you when you’re scared.

Well I know he let you down.
He failed to keep you safe and warm.
When the cold wind blows and the rains come around,
I wanna be your break in the storm.
Woah woah woah woah,
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah.

(Chorus)
So meet me back here in a couple of days
When we’ve both had time to get our minds straight
We both know how love’s supposed to be

You’re still you and I’m still me
And we don’t wanna change
So meet me back here in a couple of days

Once in a while I’ll start thinkin’ that I’d be ok
If I didn’t have you in my life
Would those feelings quickly fade
When I lie down in our bed at night
And I realize I’m alone
And I toss and turn until mornin’
Wishin’ you’d come back home

(Chorus 2x)

INTRO

Well that sun was goin down in that sleepy Georgia town

Flying down that interstate, and I got the top rolled down
Neon lights a flashin’, telling me to come – on in
and as I walked through that front door well, I felt eighteen again

Well she’s sittin’ in the corner all alone on her bar stool
And I walked over to her, and I tried to look so cool
And I said something foo-li-sh, She (xxxx xx xx xxxx)
As we moved across that dance floor well, I felt eighteen again

Eighteen was such a long time ago-ho,
When your closin in on thir-tey-hey, (Lord it must get to show)
ahh but underneath them neon lights, eveybody’s gotta know

Wooaaaahhhh yeah…..

As we walked across that parking lot just headed for my car

Pulled her closer to me, beneath those Georgia stars
I said huu-ney-hey, why don’t ya climb on in? just climb on in
And as we hopped into that back seat well, I felt eighteen again

Eighteen was such a long time ago-ho,
When your closin in on thir-tey-hey, (Lord it must get to show)
ahh but underneath them neon lights, eveybody’s gotta know

Now jealousy must surely be a dragon with emerald eyes
Who seems to be protecting me, that’s his brilliant disguise
But there’s a maiden who’s waiting for me at the top of her tower stairs
But the cobblestone road that lies between us passes by the dragon's lair

Chorus:
But lately I’ve been thinking how he’s keeping us apart
And I see a silver sword
And it's sinking into the dragon’s heart
Deep into the dragon's heart

Now jealousy must surely be a dragon with a split tongue of fire
Who learns to burn anything and everything trying to control desire
And on his side are wings of pride but they’re too small for him to fly
So he waits alone in the shadows for unsuspecting lovers passing by

Chorus

Bridge:
heart – Open up your tower window
Hey, hey I wanna take you far away
Whoa-oa today is where tomorrow starts
And I’m gonna start by sinking my sword in the dragon’s heart

Now jealousy must surely be a dragon in my mind, it’s about time
Hey’ey-ey yea yeah

Billy Covington in a lime green pickup truck to meet the rest of our friends
Piled out, with a case of longnecks every night down where the river bends
One might Billy got this crazy notion to make a run to the Mexico line
and if things went well, well what the hell we might stay for the rest of our lives

Chorus:
Cause he’d say ‘I don’t want to end up like everyone
Who gets a job just hangs around this town spends the rest of his [G/F#]days under the gun
Desperately trying to convince themselves these are all the [G/F#]cards life will deal
Cause I got my life and I got my dreams, I wont let this wicked world steal

So Billy pulled a shotgun on a friend at the quick mart he just smiled and filled the sack with cash
About got busted down in Del Rio trying to steal a tank of gas
Cause we were saving every dime we had taken so we could hide out and live just like kings
When the coast was clear king Billy disappeared and the rest of were just left out in the streets

Bridge:
It took four days to hitch hike home , got my job back at the mill
Every now and then I hear his voice on the wind and I know that Billy is running still

Chorus
