I remember the sound of your momma’s voice

She said “there ain’t no spell hotter than a young desire”

So we fell hard, never had a choice

Just went up like a house fire 

The king of the lost boys, playing soldier

With the queen of hearts laid on his shoulder

I’d slam a screen door, hop in the war wagon

Grab the keys to your heart and turn the engine on

Oh baby, I’m your one knight standing in the year of the dragon

So don’t wake up asking to leave the porch light on

I remember the neon and the noise

The trouble at the starting line

When I told that judge I didn’t have a choice

He said I should’ve read the warning signs

It all happened so fast, babe

The boy was bleeding

I saw the gun in your hand, babe

And you were screaming 

I slammed a screen door, hopped in the war wagon

Grabbed the keys to your heart and turned the engine on

Oh baby, I’m your one knight standing in the year of the dragon 

Now I wake up asking to leave the porch light on

Honey it’s so good to hear your voice

Am I coming through the phone alright?

You know I took the fall, I made a choice

Get a look at the world in black and white

It’s a kingdom of hard luck, east of eden

But I’m holding you now, love, when I’m dreaming

I slam a screen door, hop in the war wagon

Grab the keys to your heart and turn the engine on

Oh baby, I’m your one knight standing in the year of the dragon

Honey all I’m asking is leave the porch light on
