17th & Chicago
In the dim light from the television screenI saw you on the couch looking at meBatting your eyes oh so playfully, I want youI walked over there and got on my kneesI looked up at you still looking at meAnd I told you I was eternally grateful to God......for a woman like you, I turned over newI kicked the old habits like sniffing glueAnd just sitting around smoking with nothing to doHoney, I got a phone call late last nightIt was from an old friend who got in a fight with his wife... ...of almost ten yearsHe said he needed a drink and a place to sleepSo he came on in and started counting sheep that nightOh, he dreamed of their wedding dayHe had two little kids when the storm rolled inTook them by surprise, they never were the same againAw, but what was so good back thenIn the dim light of the television screenI saw you on the couch looking at meBatting your eyes so playfully, I want you...
