FAST AS YOU lyrics
by Dwight Yoakam



Maybe someday I'll be strong, maybe it won't be long
I'll be the one who's tough, you'll be the one who's got it rough
It won't be long and maybe I'll be real strong

Maybe I'll do things right, maybe I'll start tonight
You'll learn to cry like me, baby let's just wait and see
Maybe I'll start tonight and do things right

You'll control me and oh so boldly rule me 'till I'm free
'Till the pain that shakes me finally makes me get up off of my knees
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Maybe I'll be fast as you, maybe I'll break hearts too
But I think that you'll slow down when your turn to hurt comes around
Maybe I'll break hearts and be as fast as you...awwwww...

[guitar solo]

You'll control me and oh so boldly rule me 'till I'm free
'Til the pain that shakes me finally makes me get up off of my knees
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Maybe I'll be fast as you, maybe I'll break hearts too
But I think you'll slow down when your turn to hurt comes around
Maybe I'll break hearts and be as fast as you
Maybe I'll break hearts and be as fast as you...ahhh, s'okay (?)
