From the recording Fayetteville Nights
Lyrics by Carter Postier, Music by Nicholas Payne
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You bet I love it, but are you leaving?
'Cause I'm getting sick and tired of being all on my own
Well this has been great, but is it better
Than anything that I have come to know?
[Chorus]
There's just something about those city limit signs
Got me thinking about a Fayetteville Night
Was I seeing you wrong in them neon lights?
I'll take a back-road trip on a Fayetteville Night
[Verse 2]
I know that you know what you're doing
Acting like you don't even have a clue and
I don't know how much longer I can take it
'Cause if this is something then you're gonna have to go ahead and make it
[Chorus]
You see I've only gone east a couple of times
I'm getting no sleep on this Fayetteville time
This old bed just don't feel like mine
Maybe I'll come back another Fayetteville Night
[Bridge]
But ain't it funny how time can change a memory
I know the little things are what always stick with me
But the mood can change
The tables can turn
You might have to get burnt before you learn
[Verse 3]
Well it's been a while, since I've seen you here
Sometimes I see your smile in between my sips of beer
But it ain't like what I wanted before
So I think that I'll just walk out that door
[Chorus]
You neeed a little more than what I see
To get more than just a little bit of rise out of me
There's something about that Oklahoma sky
You can keep all your Fayetteville Nights
[Chorus]
'Cause there's just something about those city limit signs
Got me thinking about a Fayetteville Night
Was I seeing you wrong in them neon lights?
So long to those Fayetteville Nights
