Lyrics

 
I'm sooo done prancing around The bloom is off the roses uptown Can I lay my head down here? 
All those bright lights went dim My friends are gone my marker’s called in Can I lay my heart down here 
Can I lay my heart down Can I lay my heart down Can I lay my heart down here? 
 

 
I’ve been caught up in my own lies But I’ve finally opened my tired eyesCan I lay my heart down here? 
I have lost every fight I'm stumblin’ around in the cold cruel night Can I lay my heart down here? Can I lay my heart down Can I lay my heart down Can I lay my heart down here? All my life I’ve never fit in All my life I never quite win All my life, I’ve been wanting, needing Some one to say: 
“Ahh Honey, I know. I know just how ya’ feel Ahh Honey come on come on home with me. Lay your heart down here”.
