Lyrics

THERE'S ONLY YOU
© 2005 David Hall

Twistin caps at a bar in my hometown
When the creak of the door lets the light inside
Silhouette of an old friend sits down beside me
Wearing low-rise wranglers and a how-you-been smile

I lied when I told her how I was doing
I told the truth when I said she looked great
There's so much I want to tell her
There's so much I want to say, (I wanna say to you)

Kentucky's colder without you (say to you)
Whiskey works for an hour or two (say to you)
One thing that this fool's gotta do
Is find the way to say, is find the way to say
There's only you

I've written fifty songs about her
They're all sad cause she slipped away
I've learned where happiness lives
It's in the lines of her face (I wanna say to you)

Kentucky's colder without you (say to you)
Crying works for an hour or two (say to you)
One thing that this fool's gotta do
Is find the way to say, is find the way to say

Playing the field is way over-rated
It's better when my shoulder is your bed
Let's make up, make love instead
Free me from being alone
When you're here, I'm home (I wanna say to you)

Kentucky's colder without you (say to you)
Whiskey works for an hour or two (say to you)
One thing that this fool's gotta do
Is find the way to say, is find the way to say
There's only you

Kentucky's colder without you (say to you)
And these words, they are long overdue (say to you)
One thing that I've gotta do
I want you to hear me say, before you drive away
There's only you, only you
