I've been mixing whiskey and wine
[?] my chance down the line
I never thought you'd understand
Distance was never quite the plan
Drove my car down to New Orleans
It ain't the sight that I had in my dreams
Flying back from southern lands
See your face and take my chance, yeah

Whatever happened to you?
You were once the sweetest thing that I knew
Is it just a lie
Catching up with you, my dear
Girl I swear those eyes
Are hiding all your fears

Saw my baby dressed in blue
Can I have this dance with you
You know that I won't last too long
Stay with me for just one more song

Whatever happened to you?
You were once the sweetest thing that I knew
Is it just a lie
Catching up with you, my dear
Girl I swear those eyes
Are hiding all your fears
