Lyrics

No river can hold you darlin'
No covers can hide you tying your shoes
My cupboards are overflowing
The wine is sublime I'm flyin' too
So slide on over and forget it's wrong
We're two lights in the nighttime baby
Come on over and pick up your song it's new
And darlin' so are you
Don't know nothin' 'bout no here and gone
We're two lights in the nighttime baby
Ain't nothin' that a fightin' heart won't do
No no no
My government owns the bible
My government owns the title too
The car that I got this mornin'
The car that I got for me and you
So what's comin' on down that road
It's two lights in the nighttime baby
You know that I'm gonna wanna
share my load with you
And boy you know it's true
We'll stay together 'til the end of time
We're two lights in the nighttime baby
Ain't nothin' that a fightin' heart won't do
No no no
So slide on over and forget it's wrong
We're two lights in the nighttime baby
Come on over and pick up your song it's new
And darlin' so are you
Don't know nothin' 'bout no here and gone
We're two lights in the nighttime baby
Ain't nothin' that a fightin' heart won't do
No no no
So what's comin' on down that road
It's two lights in the nighttime baby
You know that I'm gonna wanna
share my load with you
And boy you know it's true
We'll stay together 'til the end of time
We're two lights in the nighttime baby
Ain't nothin' that a fightin' heart won't do
Honey you know it's true
