derby day

susan

you are a jewel

about the rarest i've ever seen

i wish i could polish off

all the edges of my craziest dreams

but you know the way i am

there's nothin' that you can do

if there's anything you don't want me to do

just go ahead and tell me to

it must have been one hell of a starry night

the moon was so bright

it must've knocked out all of your lights

i guess that's the night that you fell for my silvery line

everything we do is backwards

you know that ain't a lie

you love

i love

you love

ah

you know you know i love your beautiful eyes

but i can't pay you back

no

i can't make it up with a song

so i guess i'm here tryin' to tell you that

i missed myself while you were gone

it must have been one hell of a starry night

yeah the moon was so bright

it must've knocked out all of your lights

i guess that's the night that you fell for my silvery line

yeah

you always picked the winners

every derby race

i guess you just picked on me

for a little bit of change of pace

so go on

shake your hair

let it loose

run 'til you pass the wind

i'll be runnin' right in front of you

tryin' to rein myself in

it must have been one hell of a starry night

the moon was so bright

it must've knocked out all of your lights

i guess that's the night that you fell for my silvery line

susan

you are a jewel

the rarest i've ever seen

i wish i could polish off

all the edges of my craziest dreams
