A Place on Earth (Simple Acoustic Version)

That night you were so sweet Got up and got me a drink Take it back a little Back to the start I was new in town and you were just A boy with a guitar You talked about Heaven And you played a good lead Didn't have a lot of faith But I almost believed I was in a weird place You had lost your job We were sitting sharing dinner At a local restaurant You were talking 'bout conviction Talking 'bout truth Saying all those right things As if you had a clue Are you lying to me? Are you lying to yourself? You play a sinner In the verses that you sell And now you say You wanna save me from Hell Well Hell is a place on earth Why is it alway so damn cold in New England? Winters like I've never seen The bold wind bites And the mind gets stuck When you're walking home drunk Alone and filled with grief So I think about the time I was in your living room You told me 'bout your childhood And we talked into the night Said you'd been through hard times Boy you don't even know Are you lying to me? Are you lying to yourself? So high with your friends While I'm stumbling on the ground You tell them all You wanna save me from Hell Well Hell is a place on earth Looking for protection Out from the cold The wind blows and I shutter At the thought of growing old I thought I saw the path Guess I didn't see it well I really thought I knew you But I guess I'll never tell Are you lying to me? Are you lying to yourself? So high on your horse I guess you never fell Boy you really wanna save me from Hell Well Hell is a place on earth
