i need to sleep
but i'm too tired
i need to come down
but i'm too wired
when the sun comes up
i miss the moon
i know tomorrow
is gonna come too soon

she only wants to be wanted
but time crumbles blue roses to dust
now i long to feel
the touch from your lust

scars on your back
tell where you've been
but i'll roll like the ocean
if you'll blow like the wind
sweet texas angel
what have your blue eyes seen
i'll be your country gentleman
if you will be my mason dixon queen

she only wants to be wanted
but time crumbles blue roses to dust
now i long to feel
the touch from your lust

so much sweeter
than all the rest
you're what lies
between pain and death
sinners and saints
call you by name
if you're gonna take the praise
you're gonna have to learn to take the blame

she only wants to be wanted
but time crumbles blue roses to dust
now i long to feel
the touch from your lust
