Got Me a Song
That’s kinda how things happen in my brain. Gimme midnight. Gimme a song. And...if the song is right...I’ll listen to it again and again and again. Through all the dark hours leading to the dawn.
Call Me
Wrap me in a bolt of lightning
Send me on my way still smiling
Maybe that's the way I should go
Straight into the mouth of the unknown
Left the spare key on the table
Never really thought I'd be able
To say I’ll merely visit on the weekends
I lost my whole life and a dear friend
I've said it so many times
I would change my ways
No, never mind
God knows I've tried
Call me a sinner, call me a saint
Tell me it's over, I'll still love you the same
Call me your favorite, call me the worst
Tell me it's over, I don't want you to hurt
It's all that I can say
So, I'll be on my way
I finally put it all together
But nothing really lasts forever
I had to make a choice that was not mine
I had to say goodbye for the last time
I kept my whole life in a suitcase
Never really stayed in one place
Maybe that's the way it should be
You know I live my life like a gypsy
I've said it so many times
I would change my ways
No, never mind
God knows I've tried
Call me a sinner, call me a saint
Tell me it's over, I'll still love you the same
Call me your favorite, call me the worst
Tell me it's over, I don't want you to hurt
It's all that I can say
So, I'll be on my way
I'll always keep you inside, you healed
My heart and my life...
And you know I tried
Call me a sinner, call me a saint
Tell me it's over, I'll still love you the same
Call me your favorite, call me the worst
Tell me it's over, I don't want you to hurt
It's all that I can say
So, I'll be on my way
So, I'll be on my way
So, I'll be on my way

That sounds like you could have written it. I can see why it drew you in and held on through the night.
Wow, those are some powerful words. ...and, sadly, could have been written by me as well.
I LOVE this song....listened to it so many times last year that there is a groove in my iPod :) Good pick my friend.
I'm glad y'all took the time to listen. Doesn't surprise me one bit that you heard.
Pssst, Annie - I do believe it was you who introduced me to this song. Thank you.
