Turnpike Troubadours
The Shape
[Verse 1]
Well I’m in pretty good shape for the shape I’m in
Living in the shadows of all my sins
But hey, we’ve all got our problems
And it’s been 21 hours since I’ve heard your voice
And Me, well I got no damn choice
In the matter, yeah you know that’s true
Yeah leave it all up to you this time
The decision is yours baby, it's not mine
Even though that’s hard
But the ink stain is still on my hand
And your number’s too worn off to understand
But I wear it, like a battle scar

[Chorus]
And I can’t tell, about you and me
It’s a little bit too far down that old road of life to see
But I keep an eye out, toward the sky
Thinkin' that maybe you just might be passin’ by
And how I wish, that you can hear, me sing
Maybe this time my songs just might mean something
So fall on back down to me, fall on back down to me
Ah you’re still an angel, even with that broken wing

[Verse 2]
And I said I got enough gas to make it there
Tonight if you want, baby I don’t care
And you said no, no, no, no, that’s ok
So instead I just sat here on this couch
And I drank it off, that’s what I’m all about
At least Lord, that’s what the people say
Cuz we both know I'm just a lost cause
A wannabe poet with a cheap guitar, beggin' for applause
But I thought I'd be your knight in shinin' armor
And I'd save ya, hell or high water
But I won't reach out my hand if you don’t want it
No, no, no
[Chorus]
And I can’t tell, about you and me
It’s a little bit too far down that old road of life to see
But I keep an eye out, toward the sky
Thinkin' that maybe you just might be passin’ by
And how I wish, that you can hear, me sing
Maybe this time my songs just might mean something
So fall on back down to me, fall on back down to me
Ah you’re still an angel, even with that broken wing

[Outro]
So fall on back down to me, fall on back down to me
Ah you’re still an angel
Ah you’re still an angel
Ah you’re still an angel
Well even with that broken wing
