the usual time

Singer:steve earle

late in the evening

just about to lay down

was there at your backdoor

did you hear a strange sound

girl?

honey i just saw your light

here i come baby

it's the usual time of night

i can't help but want you

ever since i known ya

i would never hurt you

i don't want to own you

girl

i just want to hold you tight

here i come baby

it's the usual time of night

i know you don't love me

i know you don't need me

if you ever want me

just hit on your back porch light

at the usual time of night

now i been down to texas

i been to new orleans

i was born a rambler

you are gonna haunt my dreams

any time the wound is right

here i come baby

it's the usual time of night

i know you don't love me

i know you don't need me

if you ever want me

just leave on your back porch light

at the usual time of night

here i come

here i come baby
