Lyrics
Your Sweet Name
I need you but I?ll leave you
Watch you go down like a burnin? jetplane
Stand my firey ground
Watch you burn down
I still miss the way you laugh in the mornin?s
The way you beat the sun up out of them mountains
While the stars are all out over California
Drivin? Porches light up the night
& that howlin? wind over sheets of bedrock
Sing your sweet name
Send you home without me
I?ll still miss you long to kiss you
I?ll feel down like Paul Mc Cartney
Back in 1965 yes I?m down
I still miss the way you laugh in the mornin?s
The way you beat the sun up out of them mountains
While the stars are all out over California
Drivin? Porsche light up the night
& that howlin? wind over sheets of bedrock
Sing your sweet name
Send you home without me
On a starry drive tonight
