lyrics
Lyrics (written by Jon Dorn):
There's a pandora's box holding my dancing shoes,
And the only way to pick the lock is by loving you.
I've worn down the soles on my feet, and the one in my bones,
But it's all in the name of finding a place that I can call home.
I sit in my parents' basement,
I've got no place to call my own.
Well I guess I've got a little spot a few clicks up north of here,
But I retreat back down to guilt out some loans.
Everyone seems to have found someone, except for me, I'm all alone.
Just me and my beer, sitting here with this shitty guitar that I probably should've sold long ago.
Maybe just maybe...
Maybe just maybe...
Maybe just maybe you'll come on home back for me.
Maybe just maybe...
Maybe just maybe...
Maybe just maybe you'll come on home back for me...
But I sure as hell won't have you back.
Maybe just maybe you'll come back for me
But baby don't you know that I got itchy feet
And I gotta get the hell out of this old town
And find someone to dance with me
