Christine Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ten mile road, two touchdowns to go
Bound  for the midnight express
Yeah,  when you called to come down
And I showed up a mess
What kind of love had you falling for this kind of me
All  the letters that you sent
They  done came and went
And found me with her on the floor
So  by the time you arrived
You kicked out the door
While I mustered all the jokes a man could buy

[Chorus]
Then you go down to the river
Where  you did hope it's gonna run you back to sea
I hope you tried, Lord, gone and tried my love
Get right up and let the water touch your knees
Oh please, Christine, with your cold eyes staring back at me
In the warm light of the blessed day
When you left me in the morning rain
Heavens goodnight
All hell bent and bright
You bought
As you're loading up the two door, double wide [Verse 2]
Yeah you're gonna find you a girl who settles you down
She buys all the records you want
She'll keep you all night, sing you to dawn
Swear you're gonna die if she ever asks you to leave
Cause sure comes a day
Sweet sunshine and rain
The rumblin' of her packing up the shelves
And though honest you tried
It's too much hell
So you blame it on that blood moon on the rise

[Chorus]
Then you go down to the river
Where you did hope it's gonna run you back to sea
I hope you tried, Lord, gone and tried my love
Take all the time that you need
Ooh, Christine, with your cold eyes staring back at me
In the warm light of the blessed day
When you left me in the morning rain
Oh heavens goodnight

[Outro]
All hell bent and bright
You burned
You called me up at last
