Nights are long since you've been gone
I keep dreaming of you putting lipstick on
I know you had to go and see what's out in the world
Trading in the wild life for a front porch and pearls
I know you're riding hand in hand with him tonight
I'd hate to be the burden on a guilty mind
But I know that you still loved me when you left me behind
You can be with him but I'll be on your mind
I was playing with the band about 1am
About to close it down until you waltz in
And I followed you and stopped you in the bathroom line
And said I'd rather catch a shiner than let you walk by
And I know you're riding hand in hand with him tonight
I'd hate to be the burden on a guilty mind
But I'm sure he knows exactly what you wanted tonight
You can be with him but I'll be on your mind
