Son of a Gun

[Verse 1]
Rest up at the rest up
Slow into the evening
Watch out for the hornets
Like to sting you for no reason
Halley's got a comet
New Orlean's got some demons
Running out of money
Working on the weekends

My mama, she acts how she does
So l fear who I might become
My daddy, he died when we were young
Turned me to one lonely son of a gun, let's have some fun
Come on

[Chorus]
Dance with me
This your chance, this your chance
Put your hands on me
Make it last, make it last

[Verse 2]
Everything's connected
A force that keeps us beating
Still all feel rejected
Hiding in our secrets
Waking up to thunder
The comedown is misleading
Talking down the darkness
Oh, so hard to leave it

Oh I'm only here for one night
I should have seen the red lights
Saying slow down, but you want a fast life
Cast down your sail or capsize
Blue-eyed girl, lets have a bad time
I feel the ail of past lives
Said "It's just God's will," is that right?
I know too well to ask why

[Chorus]
Dance with me
This your chance, this your chance
Put your hands on me
Make it last, make it last

[Bridge]
Ditch that town
Take off in the midnight
Sink so low down Interstate 79
Folks 'round here want to know what your skin like
Guess these pills don't work no more
Play Hi-Fi
Roll, smoke 'til we feel right
Another 100 miles 'til we get to the city line
At my front door, but the keys won't fit right
No place to call home no more

[Chorus]
Dance with me
This your chance, this your chance
Put your hands on me
Make it last, make it last

[Outro]
Oh, I'm only here for one night
