You can bring me the drive with the soft sweet spot.

Got the sunset and I like where it's going.

In a six-pack town, you're a champagne girl.

Put a new spin on this old boy's world.

I get my paycheck, and I'll be on my way down the road straight to you.

And when I get there, I pull up a stool between this beer and me.

Crabby old man, he's knocking at the door.

I can't help him.

He's heard it all before.

Because all I've got is [inaudible]..

He can't have it because it's gonna get spent between this beer and me.

It's neon [inaudible],, some old [inaudible] you know kind of atmosphere.

It's a bad bar band, big old bouncer man [inaudible] between this beer and me.

My girlfriend, she lost her mind.

And when she called me for the last time, she had to say [inaudible] down.

And [inaudible] might be OK because [inaudible] between this beer and me.

It's a neon glow, some old [inaudible] you know kind of atmosphere.

[ADAM AND THE ARMADILLOS, "DON'T TELL ME YOU LOVE ME"] (SINGING) Days are so long.

The nights burn so slow.

When you're not around, I lose all control.

And I dream of your touch, but it's just not enough.

I need to feel your heartbeat next to mine.

And I know it's strange what I'm about to say, but don't-- and don't tell me you love me because it just ain't fair.

And don't say you need me because you'd know I'd be there.

If I could, I would and dream all these diamonds and gold.

But don't tell me-- tell me you love me.

And you dance through my mind like these old Georgia pines, swaying to an old country song.

And you called just to say you miss how we taste and kiss the wine right off my lips.

But a few more days, and I'll be home.

So don't-- don't tell me you love me because it just ain't fair.

And don't say you need me because you know I'd be there.

If I could, I would trade all of these diamonds and gold.

But don't tell me-- tell me you love me.

In a few days, I'll be home.

So don't-- don't tell me you love me because it just ain't fair.

And don't say you need me because you know I'd be there.

If I could, I would trade all of these diamonds and gold.

But don't tell me-- tell me-- don't tell me-- tell me-- don't tell me-- tell me you love me.

Don't you tell me you love me.

[ADAM AND THE ARMADILLOS, "HOUSTON"] (SINGING) I quit my job in Tulsa, the one I took for you, with just enough cash to get me back, the strength to pull me through.

Telling you I'm leaving was something I couldn't do.

The hardest thing was selling that ring I never gave to you.

Headed back to Houston driving South on 45.

Memory in the rear view.

It's been chasing me all night.

There's more than miles between us keeping us apart.

I'm heading back to Houston where you stole my heart.

The song came on the radio.

Turn up and sing along.

I crossed my heart and promised to.

Where did we go wrong?

I pulled that old highway two miles south of town.

Hoping that the phone might ring and turn this thing around.

Headed back to Houston, driving south on 45.

[inaudible] in the rear view.

It's been chasing me all night.

There's more than miles between us keeping us apart.

Headed back to Houston where you stole my heart.

And if you ever change your mind, only bright and better days, I'll be right here for you that you might call and say headed back to Houston I'm driving South on 45.

Your memory in the rear view, it's been chasing me all night.

There's more than miles between us keeping us apart.

Headed back to Houston where you stole my heart, to where you stole my heart.

[ADAM AND THE ARMADILLOS, "LIKE A SONG"] (SINGING) We spent that whole summer running wild.

I was caught somewhere between a man and a child.

We were just running like no one's run before.

Didn't know that road we were on didn't have much in store.

Like a song, we just kept rolling on.

Man, that summer, it showed us [inaudible].. We drive at farm lane hope not to get caught.

Hung out by the tree line in the dark.

He lied to me and said she'd never been this far.

Like a song, just kept rolling on.

Like a song, it just kept rolling on.

Looking back on what we had, I just laugh.

It was like fire playing with a tank of gas.

I still think about where you just might be.

When you hear this song, you stop, and you think of me.

Like a song, it just kept rolling on.

Like a song, it just kept rolling on.

It rolled like stone.

It just kept rolling on.

Like a song, we just kept rolling on.

Those sun nights kept rolling on.

Keep these wheels rolling on and on.

Oh whoa.

Yeah, like a song.
