So I never sleep too well

The night before a spell

The guilt got me up late ringing like a bell

Well it may seem like I walk outta here

Like it ain’t nothing to me but a souvenier

But I swear to god it is everything to me

Yeah I wish that I could stay

But promise I will make it up to you someday

Before we grow

I know it’s getting old

Baby, I know it’s early

I’m sorry if I woke you from a beautiful dream

But it’s 8am and I’m already late

To get paid I gotta jump a couple of states

I know you don’t like to say goodbye

But I’m so in love with your AM eyes

I’ll call you when I get to the station

Well here it’s calm, warm, and roomy

But it’s dark, stale, and lonely

And all I can think about

Is breaking out

Of the deals I made

Before you spilled into my watercolor painting

Cos damn these hues are breathtaking

Well I hope that I can stay

And make a mint

Out there one day

All for my own

But It’s as hard row…

Baby, I know it’s early

I’m sorry if I woke you from an excellent dream

But it’s 8am and I’m on my own

I just needed to hear you at the end of my phone

I know you don’t like to say hello

When I’m a more than a month out from comin home

So thank you for your grace and your service

Well here I lay peacefully

At the bottom my heap

The pretty scenes that play

In the back of my eyes

While I’m in the right state of mind

Like a warbler without a song

Missing pages from his lexicon

Everything has gotten so quiet

Well the…

Balance here has changed

And I’ve been caught up in the wave

For way too long

So I’m comin’ home

Baby, I know it’s early

I’m sorry if I woke you from a beautiful dream

But I drove all night just to say good mornin’

And I’m way too excited I’ma do my adoring

I know you don’t need a big surprise

But I had to see you in your AM eyes

You’re everything that I’ve ever wanted

Tonight I'm drinking bourbon by the moonlight

I'm alone

I'm alone

And now there's not even enough stars in the sky

To count how often times you quietly creep into my mind

Oh 'cos in this world

There are rubies and pearls

That'll rob you blind

I said in this world, rubies and pearls

Yeah in this world, diamonds and girls

That'll rob you blind

And I never felt so wealthy in my life

Than when I was with you

When I was with you

And now there's not even enough stars in the sky

To count how often times I sip to quiet my awful mind

Oh 'cos in this world

There are rubies and pearls

That'll rob you blind

I said in this world, rubies and pearls

Yeah in this world, diamonds and girls

That'll rob you blind

In a world of romance

There are things that I'll never understand

Like where to be, and how to stand

And what to do with the position of my hands

Now I'm broke and broken down

Like a fat head king without a crown

'Cos in this world

There are rubies and pearls

That'll rob you blind

I said in this world, rubies and pearls

Yeah in this world, diamonds and girls

Oh in this world, there are rubies and pearls

Ain't no cure for the twirl of a beautiful girl

So just make sure that she don't rob you blind
