Dear Babe (free) 03:29
Babe's on the back deck Pretty girl from Quebec Speaks to her silhouette Reminds me of when we met Lips moving to a song from some cowboy band Sun's going down like her evening gown Tuesday she says she'll be skipping town Heading out west has always been a dream to her Said Toronto never meant nothing to her She was rolling out all the way to Vancouver Her sisters were there ever since they ran away Said before I go can you take me to the teller She said she had to visit the fortune seller Ready to sell him back what he once sold her She said don't you miss me Why don't you kiss me Oh don't you ever fall in love Oh don't you miss me Why don't you kiss me Oh don't you ever fall in love Jim used to see Babe until she left him Said she never loved him, she knew I never liked Jim And since we were young Jim and I never got along Tuesday came fast like a shotgun blast Jim showed up trying to win Babe back Jim saw me and that's when things got out of hand Oh he punched me in the shoulder, knocked the table over Jim was never sober, the fight far from over Babe was in between trying to get Jim settled down Jim turned around and pushed Babe to the ground I'll always think of Jim when I hear that sound Babe was down and she never got up again She said don't you miss me Why don't you kiss me Oh don't you ever fall in love Oh don't you miss me Why don't you kiss me Oh don't you ever fall in love She said don't you miss me Why don't you kiss me Oh don't you ever fall in love Oh don't you miss me Why don't you kiss me Oh don't you ever fall in love
