Steve Earle - The Usual Time lyrics

[Steve Earle - The Usual Time lyrics]

Late in the evening just about to lay down
Was there at your backdoor
Did you hear a strange sound, girl?
Honey, I just saw your light

Here I come,  baby
It's the usual time of night

I can't help but want you
Ever since I known you
I would never hurt you
I don't want to own you, girl
I just want to hold you tight
Here I come, baby
It's the usual time of night

I know you don't love me
I know you don't need me if you ever want me
Just hit on your back porch light
At the usual time of night

Now I been down to Texas
I been to New Orleans i was born a rambler
You are gonna haunt my dreams
Any time the wound is right

Here I come, baby
It's the usual time of night

I know you don't love me
I know you don't need me if you ever want me
Just leave on your back porch light
At the usual time of night

Here I come here I come, baby
