From the recording Barefoot
When I presented this song to my ex girlfriend as a possible duet she frowned, shook her head, glared at me and said nothing. It was written during the Blue Feather recording sessions but never made it to the recording studio. It may have been lost forever except shortly after I wrote it my Mom told me she liked it. I'm still not sure why, all I know is you gotta listen to your Momma when she tells you something's good!
The Players:
NJT - Vocals, Harmonica and Guitar
Jen Wilson - Vocals
Pete Weaterhead - Pedal Steel Guitar
Joe VanAcker - Upright Bass
Nathan Kalish - Drums
Jen Wilson gave me chills the first time she sang the harmony for me. Its an honor to have her on this album.
Lyrics
With Tabs!:
C
I've got a notebook and a pen,
Am
A bottle of whiskey and a bottle of gin,
G
And a second chance to screw it up again
If I'da just used my cellular phone
Then I wouldn't be alone
And maybe you'd let me come back home
F C
Take my hand Don't let me go
Am G
Let me know That you're my best friend
C Am
And if you do I promise you
F G C
I will never let go again
You said you couldn't go to bed
Cause you were worried I was dead
And I'll admit that I was in over my head
Well it may be hard to believe
But this is not how I want to be
I want to be what I see when I see you look at me
Chorus
I think I've finally realized
That it's not what's between your thighs
It's the loving look I only see when I look in your eyes
So let me apologize
for all of my previous lies
And I promise tonight that I'll be home before sunrise
Chorus x 2
