Another Like You
Hayes Carll Lyrics

You were smoking on a cigarette
You were casually smoking a cigarette

Talking 'bout the deficit
You were discussing the national debt

Putting all them wild boys down
You were criticizing men who engage in reckless behavior

Like a drunken Mona Lisa
You were difficult to read, like a painting with a mysterious smile

Or the Leaning Tower of Pisa
You were slightly off-balance, like a famous tower in Italy

You were hangin' off the edge of town
You were on the outskirts of town, away from the main activity

I overheard Afghanistan
I heard a conversation about Afghanistan

Is safer than a minivan
Afghanistan is considered safer than a minivan, implying that minivans are unsafe

Left me wonderin' what to do
This information made me uncertain about what to do next

Ah, you're like a four-leaf clover
You are a rare and lucky find, like a four-leaf clover

I just had to come on over
I felt compelled to approach you

I have never seen a woman like you
You are unlike any woman I have ever encountered

You were fallin' like the Alamo
You were experiencing a decline or downfall similar to the battle at the Alamo

Drinkin' fast and talking slow
You were drinking quickly but speaking at a slow pace

Looking like it's time to go home
You appeared ready to leave

Were you hittin' on the stripper
Were you flirting with the stripper?

'Cause you can't afford to tip her
Implied that you cannot or choose not to tip the stripper

Or just afraid of being alone
Are you flirting with the stripper because you fear being alone?

You was openly frustrated
You were expressing your frustration openly

You said, Dylan's overrated
You expressed your opinion that Bob Dylan is overrated

While singing 'Tangled Up In Blue'
You were singing along to the Bob Dylan song 'Tangled Up in Blue'

I don't know what I was thinking
I am not sure why I was attracted to you

I can feel my heart a' sinkin'
I am starting to feel discouraged or disappointed

I never seen a fella like you
You are unlike any man I have ever met

Ain't that the way we do, it's true
This is often how things happen

We fall for the first one
We often develop feelings for the first person we meet

How come it always ends up the worst one?
Why do these relationships often turn out poorly?

Well you're probably a Democrat,
You are likely a supporter of the Democratic Party

Well, what the hell is wrong with that?
What is the problem with supporting the Democratic Party?

Nothing, if you're Taliban
There is nothing wrong with being a Democrat, just as there is nothing wrong with being a member of the Taliban

Ah, I see, well, I bet you slept with half the south
I am making a sarcastic comment about your sexual history

Ah, don't you ever shut your mouth?
A rhetorical question, asking if you ever stop talking

Yeah, how much did you pay for that tan?
A sarcastic comment about your appearance

More than you paid for your boots
This is a joke, implying that your boots are cheap or free

Ah, shouldn't you be purgin'?
A sarcastic comment about your weight, implying that you should be purging after eating

Well, you're probably still a virgin
A sarcastic comment about your sexual experience

I can't believe you're not on 'The View'
You would fit in well with the women on the TV show 'The View'

Let's get another round,
Let's order more drinks

It's lookin' like we're trouble bound
We seem to be heading towards trouble

I have never seen another like you
You are unlike any person I have ever met

Oh, well, a couple hours later, we were in the elevator
A few hours later, we found ourselves in an elevator together

Makin' out like Bonnie and Clyde
We were kissing passionately, like the characters in the movie 'Bonnie and Clyde'

We were dizzy from the love we found
We were emotionally overwhelmed by our feelings for each other

Throwin' up and goin' down
We were dealing with the physical symptoms of drunkenness and/or passion

Lord it's been a hell of a ride
This has been quite an intense experience

I'm a'havin' trouble breathing
I am feeling overwhelmed or anxious

I probably should be leavin'
I should probably go now

Well, I'm up in room 402
I am staying in room 402

Well I gotta hand it to you
I have to give you credit

There's a chance I'm gonna screw ya
I might have sex with you

Oh, I have never seen another like you
You are a unique and remarkable person

I don't know if it's forever but I'm glad that we're together
I am not sure if our relationship will last, but I am happy to be with you now

I have never seen another like you.
You are truly one of a kind.
