Thieves and Crooks

Tad Kent

The road isn't as fun as it looks

Filled with it's thieves and its' crooks

stealing me now, come save me somehow

I'm still so scared to be with her

I can't stop staring at old pictures,

pulling me in, still miss my best friend

So I'll sing a song where the words are never right

and pretend you're by my side.

I'll just keep drinking through the hours of the night

and play movies in my mind, where you hold me close

and everything's right.

I wish you'd believe what I say

I'm fighting the fear every day, that you'll leave me here

well, it's never been clear.

I still remember the summer

that I fell for you like no other Love in my life,

I can't make things right.

So I'll sing a song where the words are never right

and pretend you're by my side.

I'll just keep drinking through the hours of the night

and play movies in my mind, where you hold me close

and everything's right.

Oh, I hope and I dream

that one day you'll just choose me

instead of them

instead of him.

I still remember the time

where I saw the pain in your eyes.

Unfortunately sounds prettier and more convicting than it reads. I suppose the danger of posting just lyrics.

this is really interesting.. I haven't heard a lot of musicians sing about what it is like on the road with such transparency. living in Nashville, I know a quite a few musicians who decided that being on the road was more painful than they wanted to sign up for. it is a hard and rewarding choice at the same time. my favorite part is definitely the chorus, and I also really like the first two lines. thanks for sharing this with us!
