| When the sun fell low in the blood red sky
|
| Every house called out as we passed them by
|
| She would grab my hand as the trees leaned in
|
| Oh I’m still racing home from the place I’ve been
|
| It was all I knew
|
| I was waiting for the big one
|
| And I stayed forever
|
| American secrets
|
| Had a dream that was ours that we just didn’t know yet /
|
| We would drive out through every lonely street
|
| Smelled the truth in her hair
|
| Felt the world at my feet
|
| But we were just two kids in a beat up car
|
| Oh I’m still driving home from the things I’ve done
|
| It was all I knew
|
| I was waiting for the big one
|
| And I stayed forever
|
| American secrets
|
| Had a dream that was ours that we just didn’t know yet
|
| American secrets
|
| Had a dream that was ours that was lost in the regrets
|
| We were caught on the inside
|
| Left it all on that bedside
|
| Give me one more minute with those baby blues.
|
| We pull up
|
| Oh she looks back and waves as I wait too long
|
| I can picture her room as a light turns on
|
| I’m still dancing alone with the way it was
|
| I’m still dancing alone with the way it was
|
| I’m still dancing alone with the way it was
|
| Give me one more
|
| Give me one more
|
| Give me one more minute with
|
| My baby
|
| Give me one more
|
| Give me one more
|
| Give me one more minute with
|
| American secrets
|
| Give me one more
|
| Give me one more
|
| Give me one more minute with Her
|
| Oh she looks back and waves as she slips inside
|
| Every hope in the world in those bright blue eyes
|
| I’m still dancing alone with the way it was
|
| Got my mind made up
|
| And I’m coming back for you
|
| I can hear your voice calling and I’ll be there soon
|
| I can see you there
|
| In the bedroom by the stairs
|
| Oh I’ve always been running but I don’t know where
|
| It took 25 years but I finally see
|
| Not the boy I was
|
| In the car that you saw leave
|
| But I’m still not the man that I thought I’d be
|
| But when the trumpets sound
|
| And the good Lord calls my name
|
| Oh I’m gonna be with you
|
| Oh I’m gonna be with you
|
| It took 25 years but I finally see
|
| It took 25 years but I finally see
|
| It took 25 years but I finally see |
