Fast as I Can

He was a drinking man with a guitar problem Didn't have a dollar to his name He didn't seem to mind it all that often He mostly took whatever came And if it came too late or it came to nothing He'd swear beneath his breath There's gotta be something to it There's gotta be something to it She lost her mind and she never missed it Folks all said she'd never learn She'd take the path of least resistance Right to the point of no return Apprehended on occasion, got off easy every time Said there's gotta be something to it, something to it Don't know why else She want to put herself through it When your nights are getting colder Restless as the wind I'll be coming over Fast as I can, fast as I can Well, he had some lines but he never used 'em She didn't need much talking to And he thought he'd died and gone to Houston By the time the dawn burned off the dew And they lit right up like Roman candles Like fire and gasoline There must've been something to it, something to it Didn't mess around, they just had to get right to it When your nights are getting colder Restless as the wind I'll be coming over Fast as I can, fast as I can For a while they carried on like rabbits They'd disappear for days and nights You might say they learned each other's habits You might say that became their life And life wasn't long, life wasn't easy Life wasn't cheap, life wasn't fair And there might have been something to it There might have been something to it When your nights are getting colder Restless as the wind I'll be coming over Fast as I can, fast as I can When your nights are getting colder Restless as the wind I'll be coming over Fast as I can, fast as I can
