Velvet Parkway
--words and music by Michael Stanley

Warm beer, cheap talk,
And it don't seem to stop
Been one hell of a night ...
Ain't nothing but cowboys and casualties
And as far as I can see
There ain't no end in sight ...

	I wanna hear the rain outside your window
	I wanna feel your body start to sway
	There's only one place I want to be tonight
	I'm gonna down down down down down
	On the velvet parkway ...

Too much bad news
But you don't get to choose
I can't think of one thing went right ...
So it's on down, down this road
If I wanna get where I'm going
I gotta keep one thing in sight ...

	I wanna hear the rain outside your window
	I wanna feel your body start to sway
	There's only one place I want to be tonight
	I'm gonna down down down down down
	On the velvet parkway ...

I gotta head for that horizon
Out there there's something shining
Shining just for me
This road couldn't get much slower
But I ain't pulling over
I got somewhere that I got to be ...

	I wanna hear the rain outside your window
	I wanna feel your body start to sway
	There's only one place I want to be tonight
	I'm gonna down down down down down

	I wanna hear the rain outside your window
	I wanna feel your body start to sway
	There's only one place I want to be tonight
	I'm gonna down down down down down
	On the velvet parkway ...
	On the velvet parkway ...
