Sugarland - Steve Earle lyrics

rate me

One more

Well, I heard Steve Earle had lots of wives

About as many as cats have lives

Met 'em 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 and 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 fallin' in love is a pilgrim's 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

REPEAT CHORUS

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

And a shirt that goes with it 'cause it smells like you

And you know I like to sleep in that

And a vacation house at the beach

And a really small wedding, only about 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 night I like to go to trivia

So that it'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
