Lyrics

No Place I Had To Be - by Thomas Burns

I took my time with Rosalita 'cuz I had no place I had to be
I took my sweet time with Rosalita 'cuz I had no place I had to be
But I got home with less than nothing
Cuz of all the time you took from me

I'd climb up on a mountain But even the storm clouds seem to know your name
I'd climb up alone on a mountain But even the storm clouds seem to know your name
It's when everything grows quiet
That lightning strikes me down again

The wind might blow
But the sun won't always shine
The wind might blow
But the sun won't always shine

There're angels in my doorway
But the devil's in my periphery
Sweet angels in my doorway
But the devil's in my periphery
I turn to stare him down
But it's just me leering back at me

I don't want to be a caution someone no one wants to be
I don't want to be a caution someone no one wants to be
I'm goin' on back to Southeast Texas where I can shake off
shake off, shake off this misery
