lyrics

89 to anywhere, clinging to the mountain air
We’re twenty miles from no turning back
I call your name, your eyes are closed
Looking what I’d call composed, as I watch all the green turn to black

Baby, baby, be happy
They’re gonna love you just like I said
Baby, baby, be happy
I’ve got a place for you to rest your head

So pretty lady hold on tight, we’re gonna spend a couple nights
In the house where I first learned how to walk
Drop your bags and all your cares, feel what you need if you dare
Just find a seat and smile off the clock

My mama lives inside her books, but she will give the strangest look
In time with me if you don’t feel loved
I whispered you’d been feeling blue, you overheard and said you’re through
One evening in and you’d had enough

Baby, baby, be happy
You know they loved you just like I said
Baby, baby, be happy
You gave it all you got, now rest your head

Sunset touches 89, you’re shaking still, but give it time
The quiet will take care of the shock

And when your heart says what to do, just know there’s still a place for you
To find a seat and smile off the clock
Find a seat and smile off the clock
Find a seat and smile off the clock
