Light on My Mind

Light On My Mind (3:42)
Jim Pipkin 2004 BMI

Jim Pipkin: Guitar, Vocals

Hittin' the barrooms, walkin' the streets at night
Wondrin' where I'm gonna find another you
Watchin' the faces shinin' in the lights
But there's never one I feel like runnin' to

Just need someone to go light on my mind
Someone to care if I'm around
Feels like I'm always just a half-step behind
I'm tired of hangin' my head down

You told me you loved me, but you couldn't stay
What kinda love is that, I wanna know
Asked if you'd be back, child, but you wouldn't say
Now I'm all dressed up with no place to go

Just need someone to go light on my mind
Someone to care if I'm around
Feels like I'm always just a half-step behind
I'm tired of hangin' my head down

My friends all tell me I'n all right
They don't know how empty I feel
Need your arms around me in the stillness of the night
Nothin' else will ever be that real
