Fast As I Can Lyrics

He was a drinking man
with a guitar problem
Didn't have a dollar to his name
He didn't seem to mind it all that often
He mostly took whatever came
And if it came too late,
or it came to nothing
He'd swear beneath his breath
There's gotta be something to it
There's gotta be something to it

She lost her mind and she never missed it
Folks all said she'd never learn
She'd take the path of least resistance
Right to the point of no return
Apprehended on occasion, got off easy every time

Said there's gotta be something to it,
Something to it
Don't know why else somebody'd
Want to go through it

(chorus)
When your nights are getting colder
Restless as the wind
I'll be comin over
Fast as I can,
Fast as I can
Well, he had some lines
but he never used 'em
She didn't need much talkin' to
And he thought he'd died
and gone to Houston
By the time the dawn burned off the dew

And they lit right up
Like roman candles
Like fire and gasoline
There must've been something to it,
Somethin to it
They didn't mess around,
They just had to get right to it
When your nights are gettin colder
Restless as the wind
I'll be comin over fast as I can, fast as I can

So for a while they carried on like rabbits
They'd disappear for days and nights
You might say they learned
each other's habits
You might say that became their life

And life wasn't long
Life wasn't easy
Life wasn't cheap,
Life wasn't fair
And there might have been something to it,
Something to it
