More or less on my knees Love songs in the minor key You were the only girl for me Too much to see too much to recall Lived my days in sound waves and the rush of alcohol You were the only girl for me All these places I'd only intended to visit Somewhere I got lost became a permanent resident You were the only girl for me If mercy is a drink I could use me some Growing old to be forever young I remember when my eyes first met yours I sold the farm to buy the store You were the only girl for me Bones get cold and brains forget Teardrops explode by a fireplace called regret You were the only girl for me
If mercy is a drink well pour me some Growing old to be forever young Come as thou are come as thou ain't It's gonna take more than a new coat of paint You were the only girl for me Roll back the tape to our first kiss You never signed up for any of this You were the only girl for me If a car crash does us fatal harm Would you carry me to Jesus in your arms? You were the only girl for me If mercy is an ocean let it roll on Growing old to be forever young More or less on my knees Love songs in the minor key You were the only girl You were the only girl You were the only girl for me
