Lyrics

Buttonwillow
2001 Eric Nelson Thompson (ASCAP)

Well I just pulled into Buttonwillow
Put my head down on your pillow
Started dreaming dreams of you
Got my life stretched out before me
Wishin? for someone to adore me
Someone innocent and true

But it?s just my useless imagination working over time
As I endeavor to forget my past
A listless fleeting careless self deception
Has got me believing I?ll find a love to last

Well I just pulled on the interstate
And I can hardly wait
To lay my head upon your breast
Got the road stretched out behind me
Don?t need nothing to remind me
That leaving?s always what I done best

But it?s just my useless imagination working over time
As I endeavor to forget my past
An insistent fleeting careless self deception
That?s got me convinced I?ll find a love to last

A love to last
A lifetime
A lifetime
A lifetime?s
A mighty long time?innocent and true
