Rene Goodnight

When I met you at Juan's party you'd just moved here

You knew some of my friends from Tulsa

I liked your accent and we talked til Juan kicked us out

You walked me back to my apartment

But you didn't come inside

You just smiled at me so wide

You said "I'm so glad I met you Rene, goodnight"

I thought about you the next morning and called up Fran

To see how well she knew you in Tulsa

She said "Uh oh he's got a reputation here

I heard that he hurt some old partners"

Is that why you had to move

Are the Tulsa rumors truе?

When you called that night I sent it to voicеmail

When I saw you at the diner the next weekend

I got scared and ducked into a booth

And hid behind a menu til you got up to go

I watched you pay your check & leave alone

Now I see you in my dreams

Sometimes sinister & mean

Sometimes sweet as hell

I don't know what to believe

When you walked me home that night

I had felt safe by your side

You said "I'm so glad I met you Rene, goodnight"
