about

Pete Burke came around to my house and played me an instrumental which I wrote lyrics for. It's a song about travelling companions with an intense love/hate relationship.

lyrics

Drinking white rum
Waiting around
Time to move on from this
Dirty old town

We share the same bottle
We share the same girl
Together we've travelled
Through this whole wide world

Waiting forever
I guessed that you lied
I guessed you felt more than
Justified

Down at the crossroads
Deep in the night
I move just a few steps
Into the light

The girl with the tattoos
She's a sweet little thing
She's got pinprick eyes
Her smile's genuine

Some live with anger
Some with the pain
Some pursue money
We're just in it for the fame

Some live with anger
Some with the pain
Some pursue money
We're just chase the fame

I got a devil's hand
You're a son of a bitch
Together we'll make it
We'll both strike it rich

We share the same bottle
We share the same girl
Together we travel through this
Whole wide word

Waiting forever
I guessed that you lied
I guessed you felt more than
Justified

So far in the distance
After all of this time
I still see your eyes
Looking at mine
