First time I saw you back in 1982
An L.A. bar, I've come so far in my Kansas dancing shoes
I'm just a singer and I'm looking for a song
Do you wanna sing along?
Two Greyhounds later, ooh, I'm feeling alright
I gotta have you and it must be tonight
Come on back to my place, well, it's really just a room
But I'll be making some money soon, yeah
Goodbye and thank you, oh, my number, yeah, please phone
Two or three weekends on the 405 alone
Come on and stay when you sit down at the bar
It will not be so far, I tell you
I tried to do my best, I never meant to hurt no one
I was waiting for my break and I knew one day would come
And I'd plug in my guitar and I'd look out across the room
And I'd dig into my heart, oh, and I'd try to sing the truth
And I know I did my best, I never meant to hurt no one
As I recall back in 1982
I never said goodbye or why, I just left a note for you
Then one night I saw you across the road, across the dark
A shameful spear into my heart
Your look was haunting, an unexpected pain
I am so sorry for the unexpected rain
The sadness that you kissed, the fresh scars on your wrist
That's right, I did my best
I never meant to hurt no one
I was waitin' on my break
And I knew one day it would come
And I'd plug in my guitar
And I'd look out across the room
And I'd dig into my heart
And I would try to sing the truth
And I know I did my best
I never meant to hurt no one, no one, oh
Goodnight, ladies
Goodnight, I'm gonna leave you now
Goodnight, ladies
Goodnight, I'm gonna leave you, gonna leave you now
Goodnight, ladies
Goodnight, goodnight, oh
Goodnight, ladies
Sleep tight
Oh yeah
Thank you so much
I came out here in March
I don't know, you might've seen me walkin' around
I don't know, but, uh
I, I, uh, got to know a few of, a handful of y'all
And, um
