But I Do Lyrics by Kelly Willis, Bruce Robison

Cheater’s Game

2013

>
Neon shining on the street tonight
Girls on the avenue
Poor boy sittin' on a street corner cryin'
His heart is black and blue
Black and blue
Guitar strummin' through the ca-cracked* door
Cop car's rollin' by
Girl through the glass gets a drunk tattoo
Tear fallin' from her eye
From her eye...
(Chorus)
I can't run and I can't hide
Pretty sure that I can't fly
I ain't no use
And I should have said my will is gone
Baby the night goes on and on and on
Shouldn't be missing you
But I do
Woke up dreamin’ of a hurricane house
Shakin' outside my door
Walked thirty-seven miles to see your face
But you ain't there no more
My hеart starts beatin' like a steam locomotivе
Eatin' up a downhill track
Should have known better that that's all gone
And you ain't comin' back
Comin' back...
I can't run and I can't hide
Pretty sure that I can't fly
I ain't no use
And I should have said my will is gone
Baby the night goes on and on and on
Shouldn't be missing you
But I do
[Instrumental break]
I can't run and I can't hide
Pretty sure that I can't fly
I ain't no use
And I should have said my will is gone
Baby the night goes on and on and on
Shouldn't be missing you
But I do
But I do
