Hope Less

(album: Loose Cannon - 2019)

Girl, here we are
What you wanna do
No, I ain't giving in or giving up on me and you
You got one foot in
And one out the door
Baby, how can I be someone that I've never been before

You hoped I'd get out of them bars
I'd cold turkey them smokes
Cut back on the long cut
Be just what you hoped
Hoped I'd quit playing in a band
Grow up, put one on your hand
But I'm still singing and drinking
No more, but I ain't drinking no less
Guess I'm hopeless
Just let me let you let me go
Or baby, just hope less

You wanna settle me down
Why baby why
That's like trying to break a Bronco
That wasn't meant to ride
Now everything
That you wanna change
Ain't that what made you fall in love with me
Made you feel that way

You hoped I'd get out of them bars
I'd cold turkey them smokes
Cut back on the long cut
Be just what you hoped
Hoped I'd quit playing in a band
Grow up, put one on your hand
But I'm still singing and drinking
No more, but I ain't drinking no less
Guess I'm hopeless
Just let me let you let me go
Or baby, just hope less

We used to shut down the bars
You'd bum on my cigarettes
Come to think of it now
Ain't that how we met
You got on stage with my band
I loved the way that you danced
We were singing drinking
I was thinking that I had no chance
Now we got no chance
Just let me let you let me go
Or baby, just hope less
