I got a secret no one knows Keep it in a box inside my soul Though my face says it ain't so We could get together tonight One thing's sure as I get old Miss the girl with a heart of gold Pretty little thing won't let you go We could get together tonight But I don't expect you to understand Why I can't be a better man Promise if you'll take my hand Maybe we can make it all right Call you up on the telephone Rocky mountains way too cold Hop a plane down to Mexico And we can get together tonight But I don't expect you to compromise Or forgive me for my sins and lies Miss the kindness in your eyes Maybe you can make it tonight Cuz I been up all night And I kick myself and I smoke too much And I been up all night, killing myself Losing touch with the ones that I love the most Now they haunt me like a ghost Love that I can't save for later Like a Belmont radiator There's a church that we both know Down in Saint Ignacio Call to say that I'm ready to go We can get together tonight I know many years from now Folks will ask how I did without And I'll reply that I don't know how I ever let you out of my life But I know damn well what I did was wrong Been 10 years since you been gone I don't think I can carry on Maybe you can make it tonight I got a secret no one knows Keep it in a box inside my soul Though my face says it ain't so We could get together tonight.
