bill morrissey - everybody warned me lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
well, i can’t turn around and i can’t go back
when the snows come down here in cadillac
and it’s so many miles up to marquette
and the night is coming but it hasn’t fallen yet
and i know you need me but you just forget

[chorus]
i wish you loved me, i wish you did
everybody warned me, “look out, kid”

[verse 2]
watch the waitress lean against the frigidaire
the only past i’ve got is written down somewhere
she argues with the cook and i agree
i’m just sitting at the counter dreaming of italy
and counting all the friends who claim they don’t know me, oh

[chorus]
nothing lasts though i wish it did
everybody warned me, “look out, kid”

[verse 3]
in the railroad flats they talk in tongues
and n0body breathes ’til his song is sung
you can look around but there’s nothing here to steal
take a look in the mirror and tell me how i feel
coughing up blood in a motel 6, thinking this time it’s for real
[chorus]
i wish you knew me like the desk clerk did
when he tried to warn me, “look out, kid”

[verse 4]
this morning got stolen by the paper boy
as the wind blew in from illinois
i just stayed in bed and waited for the chamber maid
thinking maybe i could talk her into a trade
my job for hers, long as we both get paid

[chorus]
i wish you heard me, i wish you did
when she tried to warn me, “look out, kid”

[verse 5]
in the rolling snow each town’s the same
and i can get called by a hundred names
and i ain’t seen you since i can’t remember when
but i’ve got a french postcard and a german pen
finally send you all the words to “you win again”

[chorus]
so you can sing it just like hank did
sign right here and look out, kid
