"Song Is All You Get" lyrics

Tell me a secret, honey, make it count
I'm gonna need something
To hold on to when the sun comes out

Oh, yeah
Body-to-body by the neon signs
Into the mystic
Would've stayed there with you my whole life

But the bar flies took the jukebox back
And you went for a cigarette

Sometimes a song is all you get
A song is all you get
Sometimes a song is all you get
Oh that's all you get?

Driving the valley in the midnight hour
Those Kennebec heat waves
Coca-Cola like an ice cold shower

That's right
You could have kissed me anytime you liked
Waited and waited
Brushing fingertips and locking eyes

And I wish I had a photograph
To remember the two of us

But sometimes a song is all you get
A song is all you get
Sometimes a song is all you get
Oh, that's all you get?

Sometimes you get a drink
Sometimes you get nothing
Sometimes you walk away worse than before
But that's still something

Sometimes you get a chance
Sometimes you get it wrong
And leave your ass singing some crying cowboy song

Sometimes you get a ring
Sometimes it leaves nothing
Sometimes you walk away worse than before
But isn't that something

Sometimes you get it all
Until it all goes wrong
Sometimes they leave you nothing but a song

Sometimes a song is all you get (That's all I got of you, living off the thought of you)
Sometimes a song is all you get (That's all I got of you, living off the thought of you)

Yeah, sometimes a song is all you get (That's all I got of you, living off the thought of you)
Sometimes a song is all you get (That's all I got of you, living off the thought of you)

Sometimes a song is all you get
Yeah, sometimes a song is all you get
