Strays Lyrics

Strays Lyrics

It's pretty cold in Nashville
Mid-November
I don't ever remember
Another winter quite this cold

Except for January 2003
We were young and hungry, running like thieves
But the fortune that we had
Could not be be told

Oh everybody said
We were wasting our time
But I don't wanna [?]
Cooking on the line

I was young, I had a chip on my shoulder
You were tall, baby five years older
We got drunk and made love
On the very first night

Oh love and pain, it comes in waves
But it was quite nothing those early days
We were wild as wolves my darling
We were strays
We were strays

Where we didn't have no money
And the heat was off
Oh that December we shared
A twin bed and a cough

You were skinny but full of hunger
I was wise, just five years younger
A couple of drop-outs, oh
But we still got off

[?] ignore this
Yeah we slip through the cracks
Leave in the middle of the night
With the clothes on our backs

Can't be losing with nothing to lose
And beggars are choosers with nothing to choose
We didn't buy in to sell out
We got out while we can

No it ain't luck and baby it ain't fate
To just follow your gut [?]
Maybe there's a little something there
For all the strays
We were strays
We were strays
We were strays
Oh, we were strays
We were strays
