Lose Some Time

Lyrics

You've got a baby pretty as a Creole queen And my old man's got eyes of blue and green But you took me dancing when our lovers weren't around You called it losing time in the in-between It could be all the booze we drank in Austin Or could be we're just scared of growing old Could be this ain't no way of living But there ain't nothing like that rock 'n roll [Chorus] And when that light shines on you You know it soothes my soul Finding time to lose with you Is water in the dust bowl I got arms to hold me every night But I'm still sleeping with a ghost And your kisses are so sweet and slow It feels alright, as long as they don't know We rolled out of a hotel room in Georgia Just in tie to say a quick goodbye But you don't even look over your shoulder You're thinking how you'll look your baby in the eye [Chorus] And when that light shines on you You know it soothes my soul Finding time to lose with you Is water in the dust bowl I got arms to hold me every night But I'm still sleeping with a ghost And your kisses are so sweet and slow It feels alright, as long as nobody knows Sweet like sugarcane Slow like a midnight train You like to call me every now and then And I just can't wait to lose some time again [Chorus] Cause when that light shines on you, babe You know it soothes my soul And finding time to lose with you Is water in the dust bowl I got arms to hold me every night But I'm still sleeping with a ghost And your kisses are so sweet and slow It feels alright, as long as nobody knows Nobody knows
