Josh Rouse - James lyrics
[Josh Rouse - James lyrics]
He decided he'd be better off alone
So he left his wife and child and went solo
It is summertime, Atlanta's hot as hell
He thinks back to what he had
And where he's now (Woo)
James can't stop hangin' out in the bars
He's on top, breakin' all the ladies' hearts
James ain't got a problem with alcohol
He can't stop hangin' out in the bars
Found a pay phone, and the courage
It did swell what to say
James never really knew that well
And his apology was more
Than they could stand
"Just a poor excuse for what some call a man"
James can't stop hangin' out in the bars
He's on top, breakin' all the ladies' hearts
James ain't got a problem with alcohol
He can't stop hangin' out in the bars
Ooh oh ooh oh
Ooh oh ooh
"So I want you to be spirited and brave
Find someone to love
But never take my place"
He hung the phone up and
Defeated his own life
Disappeared into the closest neon sign (Woo)
James can't stop hangin' out in the bars
He's on top, breakin' all the ladies' hearts
James ain't got a problem with alcohol
He can't stop hangin' out in the bars (Whoo)
James can't stop
When I walk down this street
I base it on five things
What you say and what you do
You mind your words, you hear?
Common sense tells me not to drink
Ba ba da, ba ba, da da da
Ba ba da, ba ba, da da da
Ba ba da, ba ba, da da da
Ba ba da, ba ba, da da da
Ba ba da, ba ba, da da da
Ba ba da, ba ba, da da da
Ba ba da, ba ba, da da da
Ba ba da, ba ba, da da da
Ba ba da, ba ba, da da da
Ba ba da, ba ba, da da da
So he left his wife and child and went solo
It is summertime, Atlanta's hot as hell
He thinks back to what he had
And where he's now (Woo)
James can't stop hangin' out in the bars
He's on top, breakin' all the ladies' hearts
James ain't got a problem with alcohol
He can't stop hangin' out in the bars
Found a pay phone, and the courage
It did swell what to say
James never really knew that well
And his apology was more
Than they could stand
"Just a poor excuse for what some call a man"
James can't stop hangin' out in the bars
He's on top, breakin' all the ladies' hearts
James ain't got a problem with alcohol
He can't stop hangin' out in the bars
Ooh oh ooh oh
Ooh oh ooh
"So I want you to be spirited and brave
Find someone to love
But never take my place"
He hung the phone up and
Defeated his own life
