The Thanks I Get Songtext
von Coconut Records

Here we go!

I′ve seen more troubles than a gamblin' man
Been broke more times than a gypsy van
I′ve seen my gold all turn to rust
I've seen more roads than a greyhound bus

Hold me darlin' closer
Stay with me tonight
Dance all night by the firelight
Come sun up and i′ll be gone

I′ve lost more time than a busted clock
Learned to fight 'fore i learned to walk
Broke my back working on the rail
Hid from the law in the county jail

Hold me darlin′ closer
Stay with me tonight
Dance all night by the firelight
Come sun up and i'll be gone


Seen more pain than a cactus patch
Laid more plans than i care to hatch
Been more lonely in a city′s stress
Made more friends in the wilderness

Hold me darlin' closer
Stay with me tonight
Dance all night by the firelight
Come sun up and i′ll be gone

Dance with me by the firelight
We don't got long but we got all night
To wash all the years away
Don't hold back, don′t break a step
No time to worry, no need to fret
Just blow me a kiss goodbye at the break of day

Drank my fill from an empty glass
Saw my future looking in the past
Almost drowned standing on dry land
Tasted honey in the desert sand

Hold me darlin′ closer
Stay with me tonight
Dance all night by the firelight
Come sun up and i'll be gone
Ooooh, yeeah!


Dance with me by the firelight
We don′t got long but we got all night
To wash all the years away
Don't hold back, don′t break a step
No time to worry, no need to fret
Just blow me a kiss goodbye at the break of day

Bounced more trains than a rubber tramp
Found my face on a postage stamp
I've seen fine ladies and pretty sights
But i ain′t seen nothin' like you tonight

Hold me darlin' closer
Stay with me tonight
Dance all night by the firelight
Come sun up and i′ll be
Dance all night by the firelight
Come sun up and i′ll be gone
