Driving through West Virginia And I've seldom been thinner With that chip on my shoulder And this past year I got so much older Lookin' back over my life Spent the most of it tongue tied And I wish I'd had more time Listenin' to you speak your mind Now I'm thinkin' about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force? Thinkin' about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force for me? Drinkin' coffee black as iron And I couldn't be much higher Without fallin' out of my chair I've been so numb for so many years Now I'm thinkin' about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force? Thinking about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force? And it's so easy To be blinded by the light To feel lonely in the night This blowing in the breeze babe I got dust in my eyes And rust in my mind I'll be home come next spring Won't you say you love me later, by and by Looking back over my life Spent the most of it tongue tied Pullin' my belt tight It's just me and the stars tonight Two fingers and a tight line Keep my head above the alpine Just wish I'd had more time Listenin' to her speak her mind Thinking about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force? Thinking about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force? Thinking about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force? Thinking about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force for me?

Oh I saw a shooting star Late last night Yeah she was pointing at the west coast Beaming like a street light Got my white denim jacket And my bolo tie Snuck past mom and dad and told my little brothers goodbye Oh I hear a motor car Coming up the coast You know I've seen other cities but I like this one most There's a girl down in the valley says that we can take it slow Or we can push fast forward on it Love success and rock and roll But it gets hard sometimes Don't I know it I been up for a week I can't get no sleep I lose my cool Oh I saw a shooting star late in the night She's like vanilla ice cream, baby Milky white I want to love her all day And all of the night I want to love her all day For the rest of my life And it gets hard sometimes Don't I know it I been up for a week I can't get no sleep I lose my cool And I been up for a week I can't get no sleep I lose my cool Say what you mean babe Come on and tell it to me

You know I cant, eat without you And I cant sleep without you Stay up all night, writing songs about you Take me on And I spend all my days drinking So I don't have to spend them thinking And I know that I wont last long this way Oh, you got me walking ten miles high Step off, see if I can fly And my best guess, is too far off And in my chest, the rhythms' gone And all of the rest, falls to the side I sit alone in an empty house Writing notes while im thinking bout The few folks, I didn't let down Oh, you got me walking ten miles high Step off, see if I can fly Don't care if I live or die, don't care if I live or die

I'd never danced 'Til I danced with you my love Couldn't hear the music But I'm sure it was good stuff I'd never sang With a tear falling from my eye And every time I lose it Oh, and I'm not afraid to cry I'd never spoke To one like you before Told you all my secrets And you wanted more I'd never looked Into eyes as clear as yours And every time I lose it Nothing matters more Oh don't look now If the superstition's got you down There's no right way To get back to her heart, oh, Lord Don't you worry 'bout how But I got it all figured out They can take my name and take my fame Lavender girl, take me back to the start Oh, don't look now If the superstition's got you down There's no right way To get back to her heart, oh, Lord Don't you worry 'bout how But I got it all figured out They can take my name and take my fame Lavender girl, take me back to the Lavender girl, take me back to the Lavender girl, take me back to the start Lavender girl, take me back in your heart

Be my mind, don't like to think for myself All of the time, and Be my soul, look into these eyes Like no one before Be my light, sunrise laughing 'Cause we stayed up all night Be my map And we'll leave with all the treasure we can grab, oh Be my lake, summer sand And a strawberry milkshake Be my pride, stay under my skin Don't let me take what is not mine Be my house, strong and sturdy Far from town, oh Be my home Just think of all the places we'll go Be my blood, oh, I'd shoot the moon And it wouldn't be enough And be my books Head on your shoulders with damn good looks Be my hands And I'll paint your picture darling the best I can Be my heart, and I've got you in the end I wish I had you from the start
