Sweet Annie - Greatest Hits Version

I've been burnin' bright

For so long I can't remember

Pretty girls and late night bars seem to be my line of work

Believe me when I say, I can't stay this high forever

This man has had all he can stand, time to lay this body down

Sweet Annie

Can I stay with you a while?

'Cause this road's been puttin' miles on my heart

Sweetheart, I've been livin' in a fantasy

But one day lightnin' will strike

And my bark will lose its bite

But don't give up on me

Sweet Annie

Sweet Annie

I know I promised you a life

But with an empty bed and the words I said don't carry any weight

If I could take back yesterday, find a way to start it over

Turn around, put that bottle down and I'd pray it's not too late

Sweet Annie

Can I stay with you a while?

'Cause this road's been puttin' miles on my heart

Sweetheart, I've been livin' in a fantasy

But one day lightnin' will strike

And my bark will lose its bite

But don't give up on me

What will be will be

Sweet Annie

Turn out the light

These hands they long to hold you

Fall all over you, all over again

Come a little closer so I could show you

My heart still beats fast for you

All over, and over again

Sweet Annie

Can I stay with you a while?

'Cause this road's been puttin' miles on my heart

Sweetheart, I've been livin' in a fantasy

But one day lightnin' will strike

And my bark will lose its bite

But don't give up on me

Sweet Annie
