"Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is" lyrics

I was impatient
But things worth having don't come easy, do they, baby?
I can't believe that we were only eighteen
When we got out of California for the first time
Red carpet invitation laid out on the interstate
You wore that sequin yellow prom gown
I still miss those days

If I don't make it outta this town
I'm never gonna figure it out
It's hard to put your money where your mouth is
And you keep me on the edge of my seat
I never felt so outta my league
Was it ever really me you were missing, oh?

I heard you got married
To some guy who plays bass guitar out there in Houston
Oh, but it didn't work out
And I'm so sorry
I didn't mean to call you up drunk like I used to
But I just had to tell you how much
I still miss those days
The headlights shine just like a lighthouse on the interstate

If I don't make it outta this town
I'm never gonna figure it out
It's hard to put your money where your mouth is
And you keep me on the edge of my seat
I never felt so outta my league
Was it ever really me you were missing, oh?

If I don't make it outta this town
I'm never gonna figure it out
It's hard to put your money where your mouth is
You keep me on the edge of my seat
I never felt so outta my league
Was it ever really me you were missing, oh?
