lyrics

Gave my best impression
Of a woman with a disposition
To stick it out and settle down with you
Started my investigation
At a tavern called the Salvation
With a lot of drunks and drifters at the bar

And I asked them if love was everlasting
And I asked them if he can put the past past him
"Love finds a way," they said, but it was only fools talking
"Love finds a way," they said, but it was only fools talking

Left my reservations
In a misspelled dissertation
That I left beside his bed in the dark
After a few dropped calls in Vegas
They fixed the phone lines from here to Mavis
And finally reached me down in Baton Rouge

And he called to say that all had been forgiven
And he called to say life without me, it ain't worth living
"I love your way," he said, but it was only a fool talking
"I love your way," he said, but it was only a fool talking

When the bar was liquidated
And fueled by intoxication
I bought a ticket on the last train back to you
Without any hesitation
Or any foul-mouthed accusations
You took my hand and led me through the door

And I lied and said that it was you that I'd been missing
And I lied and said that there was no one that I'd been kissing
"I'm back to stay," I said, but it was only the whiskey talking
"I'm back to stay," I said, but it was only the whiskey talking

I'm back to stay
