Swear and shake - Johnnie lyrics

Johnnie all your hundred songs Learned them on the guitar Played them in the mirror Pretended they were mine Johnnie what a knack for words Each one cuts me deeper Strong enough to make you near When you're far away Johnnie is your suitcase tight? Say good-bye to no one Leave a mess of paper Make way for the coast Honey, all your bridges burned Should you find you boots worn I will patch your soles If you swear you'll walk with me Johnnie I could be your queen No more nights of long dreams You could be the stronger man To sleep between these sheets But never with your lips sewn shut I can only do so much Won't lift a finger 'til you show me where it hurts Johnnie is your suitcase tight? Say good-bye to no one Leave a mess of paper Make way for the coast Honey, all your bridges burned Should you find you boots worn I will patch your soles If you swear you'll walk with me It's the way I'm gonna love you It's the way I'm gonna love you It's the way I'm gonna love you The only way I know to And I'll lay my candid lovin' on the line It's the way I'm gonna love you
