Strays

[00:13.07] It's pretty cold in Nashville
[00:16.69] Mid-November
[00:19.52] I don't ever remember
[00:21.58] Another winter quite this cold
[00:26.60] Except for January 2003
[00:29.16] We were young and hungry, running like thieves
[00:32.85] But the fortune that we had
[00:35.35] Could not be told
[00:39.08] Oh, everybody said
[00:42.48] We were wasting our time
[00:45.25] But I don't wanna tell 'em we trusted you
[00:48.38] With cooking on a line
[00:52.18] I was young, I had a chip on my shoulder
[00:55.49] You were tall, maybe five years older
[00:59.13] We got drunk and made love
[01:01.14] On the very first night
[01:05.08] Oh, love and pain, it comes in waves
[01:08.16] But it was quite enough in those early days
[01:11.43] We were wild as wolves, my darling
[01:14.77] We were strays
[01:17.83] We were strays
[01:20.42]
[01:27.77] Well, we didn't have no money
[01:30.80] And the heat was off
[01:34.58] Oh, that December we shared
[01:36.64] A twin bed and a cough
[01:40.97] You were skinny, but full of hunger
[01:44.07] I was wise, just five years younger
[01:47.22] A couple of drop-outs, oh
[01:49.79] But we still got off
[01:53.73] No sweet noggins
[01:56.73] Yeah, we slip through the cracks
[02:00.47] Leave in the middle of the night
[02:02.42] With the clothes on our backs
[02:07.03] Can't be losing with nothing to lose
[02:09.84] And beggars aren't choosers with nothing to choose
[02:13.53] We didn't buy in to sell out
[02:15.50] We got out while we can
[02:19.70] No, it ain't luck, and, baby, it ain't fate
[02:22.60] To just follow your gut, you'll be up and away
[02:26.26] Maybe there's a little something there
[02:28.57] For other strays
[02:32.43] We were strays
[02:35.54] We were strays
[02:38.94] We were strays
[02:41.72] Oh, we were strays
[02:51.77] We were strays
[03:08.78]
