Sarah
Blue Light Bandits Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's spent her time with the guys my age
She said 22 was the best she knew
And guess what? I'm only months away
It's easy to say that the space between
Could kill the possibilities
Of a bombshell blondie and a kid like me
But let me tell you one thing
But you took the wind from my chest and the ground from my feet
The first time that you stood in front of me
Sarah in your black dress
I must confess that I'm pressing these keys for the woman of my dreams
As she pours me another whiskey
Sarah in your black dress
I must confess, I'm not here for the beer or the paycheck
I'm here for the waitress
You're beautiful and when your eyes meet the other guys they smile
But not as wide as mine because I'm love drunk and they are drunk and in love
I didn't need any liquor to wanna be with her
So Sarah give this chance to me like I give my melody.
Sarah in your black dress
I must confess that I'm pressing these keys for the woman of my dreams
As she pours me another whiskey
Sarah in your black dress
I must confess, I'm not here for the beer or the paycheck
I'm here for the waitress
