Hey there girl with the converse shoes
Long hair dancing on your tattoos
The flowers on your shoulder give you away
They tell me you?re a sanguine soul
Singing words to a song that we both know
Like the music in your eyes here to stay
If I waste another minute talking
I?d miss the time it took to catch your name
Trying to find the song has taken me too long
But every place we?ve been is like another chance to begin
I?m glad you?re my best friend just the same
Nowadays I just can?t tell
The parts of you from myself
You?ve stirred yourself completely into me
Another mile and another road
Another song on the radio
Another freeway sign to some enchanted street
If I waste another minute talking
I?d miss the time it took to catch your name
Trying to find the song has taken me too long
But every place we?ve been is like another chance to begin
I?m glad you?re my best friend just the same
BRIDGE
You paint a picture in my mind
The 12-bar blues in the bright sunshine
Is it Muscle Shoals or Memphis, I forget
You?re my bourbon angel and my canvas queen
You?re the cigarette to my caffeine
A six-string on the back porch of a paradise sunset
