lyrics

It’s almost past the magic hour
The light is startin to fade
I don’t know how I worked my way
to the end of another day
When she gets home around midnight
I’ll be waiting there
Tryin to keep my head up
In the easy chair

You all don’t know what I could become
without these bills to pay
If I never had to sleep
Or if the lottery fell my way
That’s how it was before her
And though my time is scarce I’ll say
since she’s been around it feels
like there’s thirty hours in a day

Rollin down the boulevard
Trouble’s getting harder to find
We could be
King and queen of a kind

I told myself for ages
“you’re better off alone”
Never kept too much around
So I could pick up and be gone
But if home is somewhere behind you
and you travel the world end to end
and you keep going long enough
you’ll go back home again

Rollin down the boulevard
Trouble’s getting harder to find
We could be
King and queen of a kind

When I see how you look at me
There’s no doubt in my mind
We could be
We could be
You and me, we could be
King and queen of a kind
