I keep my thoughts where no one goes
Where the broken hearts and scars don’t show
If a memory’s lit it’ll burn away
Without a fool today
I turn and find those eyes so sweet
That steal my heart and rob my sleep
Take a chance with numbered days,
‘cause soon you're far away

chorus
But tonight you’re mine
Hold you like I’m gonna stay
Say the words that lovers say
But tonight you’re mine again
When you lose your heart in the Carolina wind

I live a life where I’m good at good-byes
It’s never hard to find those highway lines
Tomorrow I’m gone, with time on my own
Remembering the look in your eyes
