Song is played in flat tuning I been burning Bright For so long I can't remember Pretty girls and late night bars seem to be my line of work Believe me when I say, I can't stay this high forever This man's had all he can stand, time to lay this body down Sweet Annie Can I stay with you a while Cause this roads been putting miles on my heart, Sweetheart I've been livin in a fantasy But one day Lightning will strike And my bark will lose it's bite Don't' give up on me Sweet Annie. Sweet Annie I know I promised you a life But an empty bed and the words I said don't carry any weight If I could take back yesterday, Find a way to start it over Turn around, put that bottle down and pray it's not too late Sweet Annie Can I stay with you a while Cause this roads been putting miles on my heart, Sweetheart I've been livin in a fantasy But one day Lightning will strike And my bark will lose it's bite Don't' give up on me What will be will be Sweet Annie. Turn out the light These hands alone to hold you Fall all over you All over again Come a little closer so I can show you My heart still beats fast for you All over, and over again Whole band rests except guitar and violin Play twice: | Sweet Annie Can I stay with you a while Cause this roads been putting miles on my heart, Sweetheart I've been livin in a fantasy But one day Lightning will strike And my bark will lose it's bite Don't' give up on me Sweet Annie.
