I been burning bright so long I can't remember
Pretty girls and late night bars seem to be my line of work
Believe me when I say, I can't stay this high forever
This man's had all he can stand, time to lay this body down
Sweet Annie, can I stay with you a while
Cause this roads been putting miles on my heart
Sweetheart I've been livin in a fantasy but one day lightning will strike
And my bark will lose its bite but dont give up on me sweet Annie
Sweet Annie, I know I promised you a life
But with an empty bed and the words I said dont carry any weight
If I could take back yesterday, find a way to start it over
Turn around, put that bottle down and pray its not too late
Sweet Annie, can I stay with you a while
Cause this roads been putting miles on my heart
Sweetheart I've been livin in a fantasy but one day lightning will strike
And my bark will lose its bite but dont give up on me sweet Annie
Turn out the light these hands alone to hold you
Fall all over you all over again
Come a little closer so I can show you
My heart still beats fast for you
All over and over again
Sweet Annie, can I stay with you a while
Cause this roads been putting miles on my heart
Sweetheart I've been livin in a fantasy but one day lightning will strike
And my bark will lose its bite but dont give up on me sweet Annie
