Asleep Down the Hall

There's mud on the windshield And pain that I still feel Like fightin' a raw deal But I've nowhere better to go I'll go home to Dallas And build her a palace Toast her with a chalice Maybe she'll still love me so We got married quite young Both had a hot tongue Our interests were far flung But I loved her more than you could think The words got so heated 'Bout how she was treated And I heard the open road call But now I've been there And found that there's nowhere Like the one who's asleep down the hall I met her in Ft Worth I was just down from up North She was blue eyes and mirth Texas was all I was thinkin' I sang my songs in bars The Honky Tonks with jars Someday I'd join the stars But they keep me in whisky for now The words got so heated 'Bout how she was treated And I heard the open road call But now I've been there And found that there's nowhere Like the one who's asleep down the hall 8-19-20 Contest: Strand completely New (24) Sponsor: Brian Strand
