Lyrics

She smelled like sex, looked like sin,
Everything I shouldn’t be thinking
A dim lit lounge, a dry martini,
She slowly slid next to me

She wants to spend the night
That’s when he noticed
His wedding band was feeling so…

Chorus:

Tight. The ring chokes down on my finger
Tight. My whole life, it felt so
Tight. Remembered what I’m missing
Didn’t want a secret
I didn’t want to hide

I said no thanks
A good man should
The second guessing, the torture
What could’ve been, should never be
Inner demons have no sympathy
Dull aching pain as she walked away,
The gravity, the shame felt so...

Chorus:

Tight. The ring choking down on my finger
Tight. My whole life, it felt so,
Tight: Remembered what I’m missing
I didn’t want a secret
I didn’t want to hide

Bridge:

Back at home, wife and kids
Perfect life, or so it seems
Then why is she in my dreams?
German car, country club
Empty spaces full of stuff
Will it ever be enough?

Chorus: 

Tight. The ring choking down on my finger
Tight. My whole life, it felt so,
Tight. Remembered what I’m missing
Didn’t want a secret
I didn’t want to hide

Verse 1:

She called herself Dakota, she danced at Solid Gold.
With two kids and no money, she had to work the pole.
Eddie was an engineer, he hadn’t kissed a girl in years.
Dakota took him by the hand, for his first private dance.

Chorus:

He’s dancing with Dakota,
And his blood is running hot,
For three amazing minutes
Until the music stops.
He’s dancing with Dakota
In the back room of the club.
To her it’s just a job,
But to him it feels like love
Oh oh, Dakota.

Verse 2:

He comes back almost every night, he’s sure that this is real.
He’s just another customer, but that’s not how he feels.
He wants to take her on a date, red wine, candles and a steak.
He imagines he's her man, but he pays for every dance.

Chorus: 

He’s dancing with Dakota,
And his blood is running hot,
For three amazing minutes
Until the music stops.
He’s dancing with Dakota
In the back room of the club.
To her it’s just a job,
But to him it feels like love.

Bridge:

Eddie bought two tickets for a show,
Dakota said, “I’m sorry, I can’t go.
“You know I really like you, but let me make this clear,
“We’ve got something special, but it only works in here.”

Last Chorus: 

He still dances with Dakota,
Even though it's not the same.
Outside the club he's no one,
But Dakota knows his name.
He’s dancing with Dakota
In the back room of the club.
To her it’s just a job,
But to him it felt like love.
Oh, oh, Dakota, oh, oh Dakota,
Oh oh Dakota.

A canvas beach bag and a cooler
Get the flashlight from the car
There’s a place in the sand I wanna show you
Take my hand it’s not too far

Pre-Chorus:

A blanket underneath the stars
Wine splashin’ waves crashin’ it’s music in the dark

Chorus

This party just for two under the moonlight
Lay your body close to mine
Kentucky makes the bourbon
Cali makes the wine
But tonight tonight, you make the moon shine

Don’t move too fast wanna love you slower
The moon is high and I’m drunk on you
There’s no hope for me stayin’ sober 
The moon and I are lit up over you, I’m lit up over you

Pre-Chorus

I don’t know how you do it but you do…
When you kiss me, your lips feel, like I’m sippin’ hundred proof…

Chorus

This party just for two under the moonlight
Lay your body close to mine
Kentucky makes the bourbon
Cali makes the wine
But tonight, tonight, you make the moon shine

La la, la la, la Moonshine
La la la… mmm… mmm…

Breakdown Chorus

This party just for two under the moonlight
Lay your body close to mine
Kentucky makes the bourbon
Cali makes the wine
Come with me tonight, we’ll make the moonshine…

Do you ever run into her when you’re back at home
To her I’m just a painful memory
Don’t forget your boarding pass, I think your flight’s on time
When you get home, please tell her this from me

Tell her I love her * Tell her it’s all on me
Tell her I miss her * Without her I just can’t breathe
I wish I could be there * So if you see her
Tell her I love her * Tell her I love her * Tell her I love her

She talked about forever and I was scared to death
I just disappeared, and never called
I know I must have hurt her and its killin’ me right now
Does she ever mention me at all?

Won’t You Tell her I love her * Tell her it’s all on me
Tell her I miss her * Without her I just can’t breathe
I wish I could be there * So if you see her
Tell her I love her * Tell her I love her * Tell her I love he

Hold on Wait a minute.
I almost made the same mistake
I gotta do this face-to-face
It’s gotta come from me, not you
I know what I gotta do

I gotta tell her I love her
Tell her it’s all on me
I’ll tell her I miss her
Without her I just can’t breathe
And I’m gonna be there
And when I see her
Gonnatell her I love her
Tell her I love her
Tell her I love her

Half past Houston 
On interstate ten
Well I lost you back in Jacksonville
Now I'm on my own again

The radio in this ol' Cherokee
Keep singin' heartbreak songs
I've been drivin' west
And cryn' all day long

Tonight I'll dream away the lonely
When I dream, I'm in the only
Place where you and me
Are still in love...

I'll dream away the lonely

Dreamin' you're still in love with me

Rock hard pillow
Flashin' motel sign
18-wheelers rumble by
They won't keep me awake tonight

Lovin' me forever
Was a promise you couldn't keep
But the promises come true
When I'm asleep

So I'll dream away the lonely
When I dream I'm in the only
Place where you and me
Are still in love

I'll dream away the lonely
Dreamin' you're still in love with me

I dream we're dancin' close on the kitchen in our house
I dream we're watchin' Casa Blanca
Spoonin' on the couch
You fall asleep with your head on my shoulder

And you whisper you love me
You love me

So I'll dream away the lonely
When I dream I'm in the only
Place where you and me
Are still in love

I'll dream away the lonely
Dreamin' you're still in love with me

Dreamin’ that you’re still in love...
with me...

[Verse 1]

Out in the street, it's 6 am
Another sleepless night
Three cups of coffee, but I can't clear my head
From what went down last night

I know we both have our own little ways
But somehow we keep it together
You hear me talk, but you don't hear what I say
I guess it don't even matter

[Chorus]

Blue morning, blue day, won't you see things my way?
Blue morning, can't you see what your love has done to me?

[Verse 2]

I've always listened to your point of view, my ways I tried to mend
And I've always been a patient man, but my patience has reached its end
You tell me you're leaving, you tell me goodbye
You say you might send a letter
Well honey don't telephone, cause I won't be alone
I need someone to make me feel better

[Chorus x 2]

Blue morning, blue day, won't you see things my way?
Blue morning, can't you see what your love has done to me?

[Outro]

Blue morning, blue morning [x3]
Blue, blue, blue day

[Verse 1]

Shining like a work of art
Hanging on a wall of stars
Are you what I think you are?

[Chorus]

You're my satellite
You're riding with me tonight
Passenger side, lighting the sky
Always the first star that I find
You're my satellite

[Verse 2]

Elevator to the moon
Whistling our favorite tune
Tryin' to get a closer view

[Chorus]

You're my satellite
You're riding with me tonight
Passenger side, lighting the sky
Always the first star that I find
You're my satellite

[Bridge]

Maybe you will always be
Just a little out of reach

[Chorus]

You're my satellite
You're riding with me tonight
Passenger side, lighting the sky
Always the first star that I find
You're my satellite
You're my satellite

[Verse 1]

Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now
Our song on the radio but it don't sound the same
When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down
'Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name

[Pre-Chorus]

It all just sounds like oooooh ooh
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize

[Chorus]

That I should have bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should have gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party
'Cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing
But she's dancing with another man

[Verse 2]

My pride, my ego, my needs, and my selfish ways
Caused a good, strong woman like you to walk out my life
Now I'll never, never get to clean up the mess I made (oh)
And it haunts me every time I close my eyes

[Pre-Chorus]

It all just sounds like oooooh ooh
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize

[Chorus]

That I should have bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should have gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party
'Cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing
But she's dancing with another man

[Bridge]

Although it hurts
I'll be the first to say that I was wrong
Oh, I know I'm probably much too late
To try and apologize for my mistakes
But I just want you to know

[Chorus]

I hope he buys you flowers
I hope he holds your hand
Give you all his hours
When he has the chance
Take you to every party
'Cause I remember how much you loved to dance
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man

[Outro]

Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man

[Verse 1]

People like drunk me 
Cause drunk me likes to dance
Breaks out all the moves
U can’t touch this - running man
Drunk me knows everyone, and everyone’s a friend
Never goes home early, stays out till last call ends
When it comes to drinkin’ I start thinkin’

[Chorus]

If I could get sober... me, to lighten up
Just wanna get sober... me to fall in love,
Yeah, like drunk me does
Just wanna be, a little bit more like drunk me
I wish sober me was more like drunk me

[Verse 2]

Drunk me works the room
Knows just what to say
Doesn’t over think
When she looks his way
Sober me so’s lonely, if only

[Chorus]

If I could get sober, me, to lighten up
Just wanna get sober, me to fall in love,
Yeah, like drunk me does
Just wanna be, a little bit more like drunk me
I wish sober me was more like drunk me

[Bridge]

Drunk me can’t remember what sober me can’t forget
Drunk me writes checks, sober me get’s the debt
Drunk me doesn’t worry, sober me’s a mess
Sober me and drunk me, I think it’s time you met

[Verse 1]

Here I am again in this mean old town
And you're so far away from me
And where are you when the sun goes down?
You're so far away from me

[Chorus]

You're so far away from me
You're so far I just can't see
You're so far away from me
You're so far away from me, alright

[Verse 2]

I'm tired of being in love and being all alone
When you're so far away from me
I'm tired of making out on the telephone
Cause you're so far away from me

[Chorus]

You're so far away from me
You're so far I just can't see
You're so far away from me
You're so far away from me, alright

[Verse 3]

And I get so tired when I have to explain
When you're so far away from me
See, you've been in the sun, and I've been in the rain

And you're so far away from me

[Chorus]

You're so far away from me
You're so far I just can't see
You're so far away from me
You're so far away from me, take it down

[Outro]

You're so far away from me

(You're so far)
Oh, you're so far away from me
Yeah, you're so far away from me
So far away from me
(You're so far)
And you're so far away from me
So far away from me
(You're so far)
So far away from me
Oh, so far away from me
You're so far away from me
So far away from me
(You're so far)
So far away from me, yeah
So far away from me
(You're so far), right
(You're so far)
You're just so far away from me

I’d Love You All Over Again
If they used technology, to delete your memory, from my mind
If they erased, every trace, of your face, I would fight…

[Chorus]

To find you again, even though you’d be a stranger, I would know
It was you, and sooner or later…
I’d love you all over again
I’d love you all over again

I would recognize you from your vibe, your inner child, your radiant glow
It’s a mystic thing connecting you and me that we can’t control

[Chorus]

I would find you again, even though you’d be a stranger
I would know, It was you, and sooner or later…
I’d love you all over again
I’d love you all over again

[Bridge]

If they erased my memory, you’d have to play it back for me
You remember everything from loving me so long
Did we laugh until it hurts?
Who said I love you first?
And when we danced, what was our song?

[guitar solo]

There’s no technology, that could delete, your memory, from my mind
They can’t erase, a single trace, of your face, but if they tried…

[Chorus]

To find you again, you will never be stranger
I will know, that it’s you, ‘cause we belong together
I’ll love you all over again
I’ll love you all over again

I’d Love You All Over Again
If they used technology, to delete your memory, from my mind
If they erased, every trace, of your face, I would fight…

[Chorus]

To find you again, even though you’d be a stranger, I would know
It was you, and sooner or later…
I’d love you all over again
I’d love you all over again

I would recognize you from your vibe, your inner child, your radiant glow
It’s a mystic thing connecting you and me that we can’t control

[Chorus]

I would find you again, even though you’d be a stranger
I would know, It was you, and sooner or later…
I’d love you all over again
I’d love you all over again

[Bridge]

If they erased my memory, you’d have to play it back for me
You remember everything from loving me so long
Did we laugh until it hurts?
Who said I love you first?
And when we danced, what was our song?

[guitar solo]

There’s no technology, that could delete, your memory, from my mind
They can’t erase, a single trace, of your face, but if they tried…

[Chorus]

To find you again, you will never be stranger
I will know, that it’s you, ‘cause we belong together
I’ll love you all over again
I’ll love you all over again
