I've been burning bright
For 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 road's been putting
Miles on my heart
Sweetheart I've been living in a fantasy
But one day lightning will strike
And my bark will lose its bite
But don't 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
Don't carry any weight
If I could take back yesterday
Find a way to start it over
I'd turn around put that bottle down
And I'd pray it's not too late
Sweet annie
Can I stay with you a while
'cause this road's been putting
Miles on my heart
Sweetheart I've been living in a fantasy
But one day lightning will strike
And my bark will lose its bite
But don't give up on me
What will be will be
Sweet
Annie
Turn out the lights
These hands that long 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 living in a fantasy
But one day lightning will strike
And my bark will lose its bite
But don't give up on me
Sweet
Annie
