Daisy Mae

Met you out by that rusted gate

Sun goin' down

I was runnin' late

You laughed soft

Said

"Boy

It's okay"

Right then I knew your name was Daisy Mae

You're my one and only Daisy Mae

In a world that keeps on slippin' away

When the nights get cold and the sky turns gray

I just hold on

Hold on to my Daisy Mae (yeah)

Coffee cup on the windowsill

Lipstick stain and the sugar spilled

You hum low while the records play

Turnin' my bad-luck blues into better days

You're my one and only Daisy Mae

In a world that keeps on slippin' away

When the nights get cold and the sky turns gray

I just hold on

Hold on to my Daisy Mae

I had a pocket full of promises

Spent 'em all on lonely beds

Now I keep my last good prayer

Folded in the coat you wear

You're my one and only Daisy Mae

In a world that keeps on slippin' away

If I lose it all

Let the bills all lay

I'll still sing your name

My sweet Daisy Mae (oh)

I'll still sing your name

My sweet Daisy Mae
