Lyrics

Seraya (Suh-RYE-uh)
© 2024 Michael Hanson Cantwell

(Verse 1)
I pulled into Dusty Creek, just chasing some peace,
Stopped by Hank's Roadhouse, where the beer's ice cold at least.
She was leaning on the jukebox, hair as dark as the night,
She said her name was Seraya, and it felt just right.

(Pre-Chorus)
Seraya had a laugh that could stop time still,
We talked about nothing but felt the thrill.

Chorus
Seraya, oh Seraya, you've got me spinning round,
Seraya, oh Seraya, in this one-bar town.
We danced, we drank, and we kissed till the morning light,
But her man's found out, so I've gotta take flight.

(Verse 2)
The whispers hit like lightning; her husband's on the way,
I see his truck outside, and I know I can't stay.
But she runs out to meet me, says, "I'm done with his lies,"
Now we're packing up my Chevy under moonlit skies.

(Pre-Chorus)
Seraya took my hand and said, "Let's make it real,
Leave this town behind, I'm done with the deal."

Chorus
Seraya, oh Seraya, you've got me spinning round,
Seraya, oh Seraya, in this one-bar town.
We danced, we drank, and we kissed till the morning light,
But her man's found out, so I've gotta take flight.

(Bridge)
Boots on the gas, gravel kicking up dust,
Her eyes say freedom, and her smile screams trust.
We're headed for the highway, leaving it all,
With Seraya beside me, I'm ready to fall.

Chorus
Seraya, oh Seraya, you've got me spinning round,
Seraya, oh Seraya, in this one-bar town.
We danced, we drank, and we kissed till the morning light,
But her man's found out, so I've gotta take flight.

(Outro)
Seraya, oh Seraya, you're my midnight song,
We're chasing down forever where we both belong.
The dust settles behind us, and we're leaving it all,
Her name's Seraya--and she's answering my call.
