lyrics

i've been drinking today
on a porch in la
and i've been thinking namely
about you again

and how i can't write a song about a pretty girl
can't write a song about a pretty girl without--

falling in love baby
with a girl who's away
sip a bottle of old whiskey
on a porch in la

and think about how i should take it slow
but knowing this time i won't take it slow because

i love you
and i need you
and i want you
but i can't have you cause you're still away
and i'm just here on a porch in la

i've been writing today
pretty words to say
over clean chords maybe
if i can find a way

to put out what you really mean to me
play a little song of what you mean to me because

i love you
and i need you
and i want you
but i can't have you cause you're still away
and i'm just here on a porch in la

i'm not asking you to change
no i don't want to change your mind
i'm just asking you babe
that you come on back over someday
and sit with me on a porch in la
