Blue Jean Baby Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Give me two more hours and I'll head downstairs
I got a bad hangover and it's stayin' here
You were laughin' in your coveralls
With your bandana tied tight last night
I don't know if it's just me
But I find peace in these evenings
There's a barely lit cigarette burnin' a hole
In your blue jeans

[Chorus]
American girls love goodbyes
And I've been gettin' by on pinin' for it
I need to rest my eyes
It's a long way home and it's 4 in the mornin'
It's a long way home and it's 4 in the mornin'

[Verse 2]
There's a part of the night when things quiet down
The air gets thick and I can hear the sound
Of silence, I've been on my own
And summer was fine, I'll see you in New Year's Eve
Come back to bed 'fore you up and leave
There's a barely lit cigarette burnin' a hole
In your blue jeans
[Chorus]
American girls love goodbyes
And I've been gettin' by on pinin' for it
I need to rest my eyes
It's a long way home and it's 4 in the mornin'
It's a long way home and it's 4 in the mornin'

[Outro]
Give me two more hours and I'll head downstairs
I got a bad hangover and it's stayin' here
You were laughin' in your coveralls
With your bandana pulled tight last night
