The Gaslight Anthem - Hold You Up lyrics

Suddenly like lightning there is a doubt 25 was a good time but I'm older now How did I get so lost in the middle of night Oh where have you been all my life Round here they pick me up and let me down Pour some salt in your wounds and then lay you out I've never seen anybody get out of this town alive But I'd sure like to show you round Where the moon lays the ocean down But if you got someone to see I don't mean to hold you up When you finally finished feeling sorry for yourself Come on I'll give you a reason to feel sorry for yourself So I moved away from home to get away from it all Found out the blues could follow me I used to come home and play records on the tapedeck In a big old Buick like our fathers had Turns out we're just like our fathers, babe, well look at that And I'd sure like to show you around This old heart loves you now And if you got someone to see I don't mean to hold you up And I'd sure love to prove you wrong And not everyone trying to steal your love So if you got someone to be Well I'd sure love to show around
