Always Want You Lyrics by Lori McKenna

The Bird & the Rifle

2016

[Verse 1]
The creek beds are calm and they're moving along just as they should be
Church bells keep ringing to bring Sunday morning like sweet mercy
And I think
I'll always want you
Main Street's still running from east to west and the train rolls through
Spring time is coming to cover the fields where wild flowers bloom
And I think
I'll always want you
[Chorus]
Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna sleep tonight
Knowing I'll dream the same dream about me and you
It never stops like the hands of a clock
I just circle around like they do
Yeah, I think
I'll always want you
[Verse 2]
Drunk on the street's gonna still need a drink when the sun comes up
Gambler's still betting his luck's gonna change with that one last buck
And I think
I'll always want you
[Chorus]
Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna sleep tonight
Knowing I'll dream the same dream about me and you
It never stops like the hands of a clock
I just circle around like they do
Yeah, I think
I'll always want you
[Outro]
My heart won't be still there's no whiskey, no pill gonna hush it down
And sometimes I swear when I run out of air and the lights go out
That I still
I will still want you
Yeah, I think'll always want you
