Fitz And The Tantrums - Fitz And The Tantrums《Good Intentions》

Twenty miles left to the show
Hello, my old country, hello
Stars are just beginning to appear
And I have never in my life before been here
[00:-1.00]
And it's my heart, not me, who cannot drive
At which conclusion you arrived
Watching me sit here bolt upright and cry
For no good reason at the Eastering sky
[00:-1.00]
And the tilt of this strange nation
And the will to remain for the duration
Waving the flag
Feeling it drag
[00:-1.00]
Like a bump on a bump on a log, baby
Like I'm in a fist fight with a fog, baby
Step-ball-change and a pirouette
And I regret, I regret
[00:-1.00]
How I said to you, "honey, just open your heart"
When I've got trouble even opening a honey jar
And that right there is where we are...
[00:-1.00]
And I been 'fessing double fast
Addressing questions nobody asked
I'll get this joy off of my chest at last
And I will love you 'til the noise has long since passed
[00:-1.00]
And I did not mean to shout, just drive
Just get us out, dead or alive
A road too long to mention, lord, it's something to see!
Laid down by the good intentions paving company
[00:-1.00]
All the way to the thing we've been playing at, darlin'
I can see that you're wearing your staying hat, darlin'
For the time being all is well
Won't you love me a spell?
[00:-1.00]
This is blindness beyond all conceiving
Well, behind us the road is leaving, yeah, leaving
And falling back
Like a rope gone slack
[00:-1.00]
Well, I saw straight away that the lay was steep
But I fell for you, honey, as easy as falling asleep
And that right there is the course I keep...
[00:-1.00]
And no amount of talking
Is going to soften the fall
But, like after the rain, step out
Of the overhang, that's all
[00:-1.00]
It had a nice a ring to it
When the ol' opry house rang
So with a solemn auld lang
Signed, sealed, delivered, I sang
[00:-1.00]
And there is hesitation
And it always remains
Concerning you, me,
And the rest of the gang
[00:-1.00]
And in our quiet hour
I feel I see everything
And am in love with the hook
Upon which everyone hangs
[00:-1.00]
And I know you meant to show the extent
To which you gave a goddang
You ranged real hot and real cold but I'm sold
I am home on that range
[00:-1.00]
And I do hate to fold
Right here at the top of my game
When I've been trying with my whole heart and soul
To stay right here in the right lane
[00:-1.00]
But it can make you feel over and old
Lord, you know it's a shame
When I only want for you to pull over and hold me
'Til I can't remember my own name
[00:-1.00]
