"Tulsa And Eleanor" lyrics

Last night I had a dream
The same one, it seems, off 65
At a stoplight bleedin' red
I got shot in the back of the head and I came to life
And I wish that it was you
Wakin' me up half past 2
But I lost you like the sun behind the trees

And I open up my eyes, it hits me in real time, it's just me

She's the sweetest thing
Like honeysuckles in the spring while I'm huggin' the floor
And she swore that she would stay
If I would pour it down the drain, but I poured one more
So goddamn me and Nashville, Tennessee
Tulsa and Eleanor

She's as clean as a Bible verse
More than I deserve and it makes me sad
It's gettin' bad and gettin' worse
I ain't me without her and it makes me mad
Wish I could see you one last time
Oh, if only in my mind, would that be enough?

And damn it, I was close, but then I let go
Of the one thing
That I needed the most

She's the sweetest thing
Like honeysuckles in the spring while I'm huggin' the floor
And she swore that she would stay
If I would pour it down the drain, but I poured one more
So goddamn me and Nashville, Tennessee
So goddamn me and Nashville, Tennessee
Tulsa and Eleanor

So goddamn me and Nashville, Tennessee
Tulsa and Eleanor
