Lighthouse

You might say that I’m an old has-been,
you might say I’m just a never-was.
I’m a little bit of both now and then,
never really stood to fight for much.
But somethin' happened when your eyes met mine,
I became a different man.
Heard a whisper screamin' deep inside.
«You better ask that girl to dance.»
So when the lights went down,
the band cranked up,
we stepped out on that floor.
We started out with one slow dance,
and I got somethin' worth fighting for.
Never been the kind to turn around.
Shots fired, I won’t hit the ground.
When your backs against the wall
you know exactly where I’ll be.
I’ll be standing tall against the waves
Just like a lighthouse in a hurricane
I’d have everything to lose,
and nothing left to gain.
If I had you.
I drink my liquor from the bottom shelf,
smoke it if it burns.
I know I’m gonna have the devil to pay,
when it comes my turn.
But I wouldn’t ever do you wrong,
I got everything to prove.
Never wanted someone so strong,
'till I saw you.
So when the lights come on,
the band tears down,
I’ll be the one to take you home.
And when the night winds blow,
You’re never gonna be alone.
Never been the kind to turn around.
Shots fired, I won’t hit the ground.
When your backs against the wall
you know exactly where I’ll be.
I’ll be standing tall against the waves,
just like a lighthouse in a hurricane.
I’d have everything to lose,
and nothing left to gain.
Oh, if I had you.
I’ve never been the kind to turn around.
Shots fired, I won’t hit the ground.
When your backs against the wall,
you know exactly where I’ll be.
I’ll be standing tall against the waves,
just like a lighthouse in a hurricane.
Oh, I’d have everything to lose,
and nothing left to gain.
Oh, I’d have everything to lose,
and nothing left to gain.
If I had you.
