Lyrics
GENTLEMEN'S BLUES
(c) 2008 by Larry & Dawn OConnell
V1
Whenever I drive by your home
I see you sitting in your kitchen alone
It makes me sad to think of the way youve grown
Without any love
V2
I remember you from class
You were the sweetest girl going nowhere fast
Scarred by a series of one night stands
You simply cant erase
CHORUS
Ive got some empty arms
And I wanna hold you
No ones love can take you higher than the moon
I know youve had some sad times
And Ive had mine too
I would love to make you happy and then
Maybe Ill lose, these gentlemens blues
V3
I was brought up working class
Remember me the boy with the callused hands
We danced for a moment on the old band stand
At the county fair
V4
I was always willing to wait
With gentlemens values I was born and raised
So the kiss that I anticipated
Never did arrive
CHORUS
V5
Now that Ive finally come around
Theres a cafe on the old outskirts of town
We could go and finish that dance right now
And see where it leads
CHORUS X 2
