Lyrics

Most nights I can be found
In the back of a bar with some sorrow to drown
Drinkin’ my whiskey straight up and neat
Tryin’ my best to hide my defeat
But you look like an angel who must have heard my plea
Come on, darlin’, wrap your wings around me

Heads turn as you walk in the door
Yeah, mama, I’ve notice you before
All the makings of a muse with your beauty and grace
I could find salvation in your tender embrace
But I must seem like the devil, silver-tongued and fancy free
Come on, baby, take a chance on me

Yeah, honey, I know your kind
And I’m sure that you know mine
They’ve been writing songs about us
Since the honky tonk dawn of time
I just came in here lookin’ for something strong
Didn’t know what that was until you came along

You’re lookin’ at me with your laughin’ eyes
About enough to get me paralyzed
I can’t hardly think or talk or breathe
I think I’ve found something I can believe
But I must seem like the devil, silver-tongued and fancy free
Come on, baby, take a chance on me

Most nights I can be found
In the back of a bar with some sorrow to drown
Drinkin’ my whiskey straight up and neat
Tryin’ in vain to hide my defeat
But you look like an angel who must have heard my plea
Come on, darlin’, wrap your wings around me
