"Southbound And Sinking" lyrics

Southbound and sinking down on 95
I was looking for a way to keep my hopes alive
I needed something big to keep me on your mind
So I painted our names up on the exit sign

No expectations are too big to disappoint
I give you everything I got until I got no voice
I don't need another friend, I got enough in this joint
No denying I'm trying, that's my whole damn point

Look, I fell for you, I mean, of course
You're like this magnetic force
And I'm just one of dozens more
With this ridiculous notion
With this ridiculous notion that you're gonna fall for
Me
Fall for me
Fall for me
Fall for me

They say you'll never get nowhere if ya never just start
Put my pen down to paper and I tore myself apart
Took a real good beating but I worked it hard
Who says you never get nowhere on a broken heart?

Look at me letting all my feelings show
Look, I'll tell you anything you want to know
Are you winding me up just to let me go?
Or are you letting things happen very, very, very slow?

Look, I fell for you, I mean, of course
You're like this magnetic force
And I'm just one of dozens more
With this ridiculous notion
With this ridiculous notion that you're gonna fall for
Me
Fall for me
Fall for me
Fall for me

I'm not great at waiting but I'll do what I must
And I'm trying to be patient but it's getting pretty rough
I don't think that there's a man for you that's special enough
But I'll be the one standing in the settling dust

No reservations, nothing holding me back
Betting everything I've got but my cards aren't stacked
No more playing it cool, let's get down to brass tacks
I want to give you everything I'm ever gonna have

Look, I fell for you, I mean, of course
You're like this magnetic force
And I'm just one of dozens more
With this ridiculous notion
With this ridiculous notion that you're gonna fall for
Me
Fall for me
Fall for me
Fall for me
