Borderline [Arista Nashville] lyrics

You put your heart up on a shelf
I know it's hard to be by yourself
You need someone that's true and strong
Baby someone just came along
I am that man
You're trying to find
I am that man
You had in mind
And I'll give you all my love
'Till you understand
I won't give up
'Cause I know
I am

Talk is cheap, it ain't worth a dime
So don't talk to me, just give me some time

She said hey cowboy get off of that couch
Yeah, the party's on you and we're goin' out
I got my low cut dress and my knee high boots
I'm like money to burn and nothing to lose
You're the man of the house you better think of something
'Cause mama don't get dressed up for nothing

She said I been cooped up in this house all week
It's time to pick it up and move it down to party street

I started my day with Corona
Hopin' it'd help me get over
The night that you left
But it didn't help
So I moved on to tequila
Built a pyramid up to the celing
Ten glasses high
But I can still hear you sayin' goodbye

It's gonna take more than a margarita
More than a shooter
To blow your memory away
I still need ya'
I'm hurtin' without you
Even when I'm feelin's no pain

Take your suitcase and take your heart
Take a train to the dark
My love will follow you
My love will follow you
You can try to lose yourself downtown
You can burn all your bridges down
My love will follow you
My love will follow you

My love will follow you
Down every highway of your soul
You can leave me far behind
My love will be your shadow
Everywhere you go

So close the door
Turn in the key

Just sittin' here minding my own broken heart
Still hurtin' like the night she went away
Here you come a double shot of trouble in your eyes
Heaven knows there'll be hell to pay

I can't take but just one heartache at a time
I've gotta wait 'til I've head a chance
To drink her off my mind
I'll save some tears and meet your here
Somewhere down the line

Good God o'mighty this week's been two months long
Lord I love to hear that Friday five o'clock whistle moan
As the moon comes up and the sun goes down
Put the juice to my truck I head into town
Get it on and go to groovin' to the redneck rhythm & blues

Life ain't all hard knocks a quarter in the jukebox
Turn it on and set 'em up Joe
Songs about a workin' man blarin' from a banstand

Left Laredo with the sun in my eyes
Broken heart and a bloodshot sky
Been running since she left me alone
Way up north in San Antone
Days get long but i don't get far
Spent last night in some low life bar
Found her memory in some Mezcal haze
Lost my mind while the guitar played

I'm gonna carry this burden way out west
Find a way to lat this hurt to rest
Live it up 'til I live her down

I'm dead headin' down from Tulsa
Goin' back to San Antone
My baby called me up this morning
Beggin' me to come back home
Haulin' high hopes and thin air
Losin' money by the mile
I'll get there a poor man
She'll make it worth my while

I was a white line casanova
A love bandit of the road
I got the one I can't get over
I miss her more with every load
I got these eighteen wheels

I guess I lost my head last night
Kept on 'till I made you cry
Walked out with my stubborn pride
Wasn't nothing you could do to stop me
I hit the road but I didn't get far
Just drove around all night in my car
Now I'm not sure where to start
To tell you that I'm sorry

I just want to hold you
I don't want to hurt you
I don't want to leave
I just want to be with you
And after living alone
