Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
Pressed my lips on your sun-burnt skinOn a road by the river bendStanding underneath the dead end signWe swam around underneath the moonAnd danced around a Bob Seger tuneAnd finished up a bottle of home-made wineI never had to write a girl a songHad a woman stay this longAnd now you’re moving inAnd I’m alright with thatI ain’t got a pot of goldGirl I ain’t even got a rainbowBut I’ve heard that love is whereTreasure can be foundDon’t expect too much from meAnd I won’t let you downNever been ashamed of the clothes I wearI’ve never been a nickel millionaireNever even bought myself a truck
