You like cigarettes in the morning
after you've been out all night.
You like long conversations with me under moonlight.
You like the way I look in black.
You say I'm smooth as gla**.
You like it all and that's enough for this kid, I guess.
You've got a mountain of a heart.
You took a train ride straight through Illinois
and found yourself alone.
The Midwest ain't no place for a queen,
but I'm here so it's home.
I've heard it said you can measure a man by the company he keeps.
If that's true, girl, I'm telling you, I must be a king.
You left town at dawn with your bags full of clothes
and that old busted down car.
You drove three days and three nights just to show up at my front door.
You've got a mountain of a heart.
You like cigarettes in the morning
after you've been out all night.
You like long conversations with me; you say they make you feel alive.
You like the way I look in black.
You say I'm smooth as gla**.
You like it all and that's enough for this kid, I guess.
You've got a mountain of a heart!
