Song Lyrics

First time I saw you
Back in 1982
An l.a. bar I've come so far
In my Kansas dancin shoes
I'm just a singer and I'm lookin for a song
Do you want to sing along?
Two Grey hounds later
And I'm feelin alright
I've got to have you
And it must be tonight
C'mon back to my place
Well its really just a room
But I'll be making some money soon


Goodbye and thank you
Oh, my number yeah, please phone
Two or three weekends on the 405 alone
You say c'mon and stay
And when you sing down at the bar
It will not be so far

And I tried to do my best
I never meant to hurt no one
I was waitin' for my break
That I knew one day would come
And I plug in my guitar
And I look out across the room
And I dig into my heart
And I 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 shamefull 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 you wrist
I cant make it go away
And I tried to do my best
I never meant to hurt no one
I was waiting for my break
That I knew one day would come
And I plug in my guitar
And I look out across the room
And I dig into my heart
And I try to sing the truth
And I know I did my best
I never meant to hurt no one
No one
No one
Good night ladies
Good night I'm gonna leave you now
Good night ladies
Good night I'm gonna leave you now
Gonna leave you now (good night ladies good night)
Gonna leave you gonna leave you now (ladies good night) good night (good night ladies good night gonna leave you now)
Sleep tight.
