You look at me
Like it’s judgment day
You’re full of words
But there’s nothing you can say
I should have known
But I could not tell
It’s all over, it’s just as well
Chorus:
I had a dream you loved me
But I woke up
You wanted everything
But still it wasn’t enough
That alarm clock hit me
Like a semi-truck
It was a dream you loved me
But I woke up
You tell me
I’m a stick in the mud
You tell yourself
You’re the Tennessee stud
It doesn’t really matter
Who’s to blame
My heart ain’t broke
It’s just a little ashamed
Bridge:
(You say)
Everybody wants to be free
(I say)
No way you want it more than me
(Anyway)
Better off knowing how it’s gonna be
I had dream
Just a dream you loved me
But I woke upTangled in the sheets of a motel bed,
Samantha paints her toenails cherry red.
And she asks me if she can paint mine too, and I say
"Samantha, anything for you."
And through the tinny speakers of an ancient radio
the "All Night Love Line" begins another show.
And the callers call in, but the thing that's so strange,
it's all the same story, just the voices that change on
"Beau's All Night Radio Love Line,"
the show for hearts in despair.
If you got somethin' to say to a love that got away,
Beau want
s to put you on the air."
The shadows from the headlights of a passing car
turn Samantha's smile into file noir,
and she says, "Don't get me wrong, about you and me,
I just can't figure out want we're supposed to be.
"Maybe I love you, I don't know.
Maybe I'm afraid of where you want to go.
Maybe I'm scared I'll lose my power to amuse,
and I'll wake up alone in a bed full of blues, just listening to
"'Beau's All Night Radio Love Line',
the show for hearts in despair.
If you got somethin' to say to a l
ove that got away,
Beau wants to put you on the air."
And Beau's really thinkin', "This job hardly pays,"
but he can't figure out how to ask for a raise.
Meanwhile back on the "Love Line," he says,
"You're on the air, caller number nine."
Samantha laughs at the two of us here
and says, "I got some miles on me, and you're such a kid, dear.
To you I'm just a ride in an old Cadillac,
but I keep on prayin' that you'll keep comin' back."
Is that Samantha cryin'? Or just somebody on
"Beau's All Night Radio
Love Line."
the show for hearts in despair.
If you got somethin' to say to a love that got away,
Beau wants to put you on the air.
If you got somethin' to say to a love that got away,
Beau wants to put you on the air.
