When I come around
Your simple grace
I just get lost
Caught up in the chase
No I don’t got money
Don’t got a cause
All I got is six strings a ringin’ and a love and want
Desperate times, call for desperate ways
I’m thinking today’s too short for me to get my way
Desperate times, call for desperate ways
I’ll sit and sing us a little sad song about yesterday
You’ve been around me
For too much time
I finally pulled you closer
Intend to make you mine
Now you say your’re leavin’
Headed south
Well I could stop at Nashville but after that
To me your gone
Desperate times, call for desperate ways
I’m thinking today’s too short for me to get my way
Desperate times, call for desperate ways
I’ll sit and sing us a little sad song about yesterday
Under the same bright sun
Those feelings you left behind
They’ll stay forawhile but
Slowly they’ll start to die
We had a real chance for love
But fate wasn’t on our side
You chose what you thought you wanted
And as you thought to much
You left it all behind
My heart can’t win out when you touch is so far away, ohhhhh
Desperate times, call for desperate ways
I’m thinking today’s too short for me to get my way
Desperate times, call for desperate ways
I’ll sit and sing us a little sad song about yesterday
