One more!
|
Well I heard Steve Earle had lots of wives,
|
About as many as cats have lives.
|
Met him on his records and we're good friends.
|
He writes a song for everyone.
|
They fall in love and before it's done,
|
He writes an even better one when it ends.
|
Well I don't have to take your name.
|
And you won't have to take the blame.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Steve Earle, Steve Earle, please write a song for me.
|
I promise I won't take a dime when it comes my time to leave.
|
The others wanted your whole heart, but I just want your sleeve.
|
Steve Earle, Steve Earle, please write a song for me.
|
|
Well I heard he loves each one the same,
|
As much as Ireland loves the rain.
|
Steve, it rains at my house everyday.
|
He met 'em all in every port,
|
'Cause falling in love is a pilgrim sport.
|
And as long as I can be the pirate, I'm ok!
|
You moved to the city. Baby, you had to go.
|
But I love apples and I could learn to love the snow.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Come on!
|
[Instrumental break]
|
|
I could walk around in your favorite shoes.
|
Come on, just one line,
|
What do you got to lose?
|
And I don't bruise.
|
|
Steve Earle, Steve Earle, please write a song for me.
|
I promise I won't take a dime when it comes my time to leave.
|
The others wanted your whole heart, but I just want your sleeve.
|
|
[spoken]
|
And the shirt that goes with it 'cause it smells like you, and you know I like to sleep in that in the vacation house at the
|
beach and a really small wedding, only 'bout 300 people.
|
Did I tell you I have kids?
|
You're gonna love 'em.
|
They're gonna need to go to college.
|
Do you like reggae?
|
I love reggae.
|
On Tuesday nights, I like to go to trivia, so that's your night to go out with the boys and then you can...
|
Is this thing on?
|
|
Steve Earle, Steve Earle, please write a song for me.
|
|
I do!
|
Yeah!
|
Fine!
|
Cool!
|
Should we come listen then?
