I've been mixing whiskey and wine
Saw my chance down the line
Never thought you'd understand
Distance was never quite the blame

Drove my car down to New Orleans
It ain't the sight I had in my dreams
Flying back from southern lanes
See your face and take my chance

Whatever happened to you
You were once the sweetest thing I knew
Is it just a lie
Catching up with you my dear
Girl I swear those eyes
They're hiding all your fears

Saw my baby dressed in blue
Can I have this dance with you
You know the night won't last too long
Stay with me for just one more song

Whatever happened to you
You were once the sweetest thing I knew
Is it just a lie
Catching up with you my dear
Girl I swear those eyes
They're hiding all your fears
Best believe it
