(At Least for) A Little While

Baby, take me back to Christmas night It was eleven o'clock when we got high You told the waitress that you loved her as she brought us the check You sat there smiling ear-to-ear; you damn near hugged her goodbye But we'll be alright At least for a little while Baby, take me back to Pryor Ave You had that old blue house with a hammock in the back I picked you up in my Chrysler to go to the movies Sang my favorite songs as you stifled a laugh But we'll be alright At least for a little while Baby, I'll be back again before the Sun comes up Baby, don't you cry; you know you are my only love So I'll say good night with a kiss and a half a smile And, baby, we'll be alright At least for a little while Baby, take me back to the look in your eyes When you'd tell me your thoughts and put your hands in mine It would make my heart race like a bat out of Hell And the world would slow down at the same damned time But I'll be alright At least for a little while Baby, I'll be back again before the Sun comes up Baby, don't you cry; you know you are my only love So I'll say good night with a kiss and a half a smile And, baby, we'll be alright At least for a little while
