Story Behind The Song

Just a simple song about relying on somebody else and somebody relying on you to get through tough times. While the song isn't word-for-word autobiographical, we can all relate to needing someone for support and strength.

Song Description

The story of two friends who rely on each other when the nights get long.

Lyrics

She grew up barefoot, played the violin
It made her mama happy
I watched the whiskey run down her chin
It's getting late now
She says she's going home, and if I could walk her
She don't wanna be along
She says

CHORUS:
Come inside, I got plenty of wine
You know I get lonely in the summertime
I'm going to commit a crime just so I have someone knocking at my door
I laugh and kick at dirt
and say I guess one glass won't hurt
She puts on a different shirt and leaves the sequins lying on her floor
It's what we do

It ain't easy to forget love I've found
A bottle only empties, a lover only leaves, a joint only burns down
There's rocks below my window
and when the sky is dark I hear 'em knockin'
Her hair melts down below her shoulders
Her one-too-many voice lights up my yard
I say

CHORUS

I miss your passion
Yeah I miss your voice, I miss your surprises
but when she's here, I could sleep through a divorce
Sometimes bad things happen
Everyone feels pain and we're no different
She's a desert
Long days, cold nights, no rain
