I m walkin through the summer nights
Jukebox playing low
Yesterday everything was goin too fast
Today it s moving too slow
I got no place left to turn
I got nothing left to burn
Don t know if I saw you If I would kiss you or kill you
It probably wouldn t matter to you anyhow
You left me standin in the doorway cryin
I got nothing to go back to now
Maybe they ll get me, and maybe they won t
But not tonight and it won t be here
There are things that I could say but I don t
I know the mercy of God must be near
I ve been ridin the midnight train
I got ice water in my veins
I would be crazy if I took you back
It would go up against any rule
You left me standin in the doorway cryin
Sufferin like a fool
When the last rays of daylight go down
Buddy you re old no more
I can hear the church bells ringin in the yard
I wonder who they re ringin for
Oh I know I can t win
But my heart it just won t give in
I see nothin to be gained by any explanation
There are no words that need to be said
You left me standin in the doorway cryin
Blues wrapped around my head
