[Verse 1]
Well, I have loved you for so long, I have no memory of fallin'
So long now it feels that we have never been apart
I hear you have a world away and know for whom you're callin'
I'd have said this years ago if I'd known where to start

[Chorus]
Oh, now still beat steady this heart I handed you for free
Should you ever need a thing, it won't be hard to find me
Standing at the ready with a dance or two still left in me
Wager that it won't appear that I've forgot who brought me

[Verse 2]
You've torn the place asunder and you've left the party early
Looked at mе with tears as if a lost and lonely child
Your status suits you well, but do not think that you can fool mе
This polish and reserve barely hides that you are wild

[Verse 3]
And we've echoed off of barroom walls and buildings down on Main Street
Thought the moon would never set on our back alley room
In moments I found quality I thought could not be beaten
A thousand person choir has an affection all its own

[Chorus]
Oh, now still beat steady this heart I handed you for free
Should you ever need a thing, it won't be hard to find me
Standing at the ready with a dance or two still left in me
Wager that it won't appear that I've forgot who brought me
[Verse 4]
You kissed me in the parkin' lot, I gave you nothin' clever
Damages and injuries were far beyond repair
Submitted to the shape of things, this time it was forever
At an old barroom in Tulsa, I looked up and you were there

[Chorus]
Oh, now still beat steady this heart I handed you for free
Should you ever need a thing, it won't be hard to find me
Standing at the ready with a dance or two still left in me
Wager that it won't appear that I've forgot who brought me
