You Make Me High

I stepped down off that little bar stage
Sat down in the corner and you made your move
You said, “Where’d you learn to sing that way?
Makes me long for a place I never knew”

You said, “Would you let me lead you out on that floor?
I wanna twirl you round for the world to see
Could I talk ya into just one more?
A little two-step never hurt nobody”

You said, “Come on, Mama, let that long hair down
Hop on back, take a ride with me
We’ll go up north of old downtown
Chase that moon along the Missouri”

You’re like a shot gone to my brain
I get close to you, I get carried away
You make me high

You make me feel like a lightweight
Lying wide awake
I can’t get you off of my mind

You said, “Let’s lie down under that big ol’ sky...
Nowhere to hide, just me and you
I gotta tell ya, I’m on man on fire
And I’m tired of trying to play it cool”

You said, “Mama asks why I don’t bring you home
She says, ‘You like that girl, and I know ya do.’
I don’t tell her you’re better off being alone
I know I’m no good for you”

You’re like a shot gone to my brain
I get close to you, I get carried away
You make me high

You make me feel like a lightweight
Lying wide awake
I can’t get you off of my mind

You said, “What if I could build us a big ol’ wall
That could keep that mean, mad world at bay?
There’s too many ways for a man to fall
And I’m a little too keen on going astray”

You said, “You don’t have to say anything at all
Just come sit here by my side
We’ll listen to the rain fall
And for one more night, I’ll pretend you’re mine”

You’re like a shot gone to my brain
I get close to you, I get carried away
You make me high

You make me feel like a lightweight
Lying wide awake
I can’t get you off of my mind
