Broken Bed
by:
James Mcmurtry
Where'd you go last night?
I never heard you leaving
I woke up in such a fright
When I could no longer feel you breathing
And I could smell the rain from the storm blowing in
And I looked outside where your car should have been
Just a street light's glare on an empty street
When that rain came down in a twisted sheet
Drive on slowly, drive on by
One red rose in the candlelight
Where'd you go last night?
When the show was over
When the band quit playing
When the bar was closing
When the rain slacked off and the wind died down
And a siren wailed somewhere across town
Nothing to be done, nothing to be said
Just had to lay back down on this broken bed
Drive on slowly, drive on by
One red rose in the candlelight
You could call me later
Walk me through this one more time
I guess you got your needs and I got mine
Drive on slowly, drive on by
One red rose in the candlelight
Drive on slowly, drive on by
