There's a shadow in the city
And it falls like lonely rain
When they drop and scatter
You can hear them call my name
Well you might think you're steady
And you might think you're a rock
But I promise you ain't ready
For the love my baby's got
With a girl, there's no escapin' boy
With a girl, a girl like you
It was last year I remember
When she taught me how to kiss
She could do some business
In a hungry town like this
Well you know I said it buddy
Time and time again
Oh she's missing love
And a heart to keep it in
With a girl, there's no escapin' boy
With a girl, a girl like you
Now the police found my body
On a night the moon was pale
Traces of my heart
They were on your fingernails
You know somewhere down in Texas
Where the doggies whine
That midnight train is howlin'
Like the broken dreams of mine
With a girl, there's no escapin' boy
With a girl, a girl like you
