(If You Can't Keep From Under Me) How Can I Get Over You?
Greg Swartzentruber/Neil Cotton Feb. 2008
You said I should get over you, informed me we were through
Its like you reached under my skin, and tore my heart in two
Then Friday night at Thirsty Mike's, tryin to drink you off my mind
You walk on in, with Cowboy Slim, like youd moved on just fine
I wanted bad to get away from you, so I prayed this barroom prayer
Oh Lord pour me a double shot, let Jack D wing me there
But with a few, Bourbon's in you, you cut your cowboy loose
Ask me to dance, hands on my pants, squeezin' on my caboose
Im tryin to get over you,
But what the hell's a guy to do?
If you can't keep from under me,
How can I get over you?
Sure 'nuff later on that night we saddled up at my place
We rode hard through half the night, a smile pasted on my face
When we were done, had had our fun, I felt like I was renewed
I said somethin nice, you were cold as ice, said I should get over you
Im tryin to get over you,
But what the hell's a guy to do?
If you can't keep from under me,
How can I get over you?
Bridge-
You used me like a new wind-up boy with a heart made of tin
You had a good time but Im the one who pays for it in the end
Im tryin to get over you,
But what the hell's a guy to do?
If you can't keep from under me,
How can I get over you?
How can I get over you?
