Lyrics
1ST VERSE:
IT'S SIX A.M. IN SAN ANTONE
SUNLIGHT IN MY SLEEPLESS EYES
TOSSED AND TURNED ALL NIGHT ALONE
'CUS YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHY
2ND VERSE:
IT'S TEN A.M. IN AUSTIN
I'M WAITING FOR THE BAND
CONSIDERING MY OPTIONS
IF I'M NOT IN YOUR PLANS
3RD VERSE:
THE SOUND CHECK STARTS AT TWO-FIFTEEN
(WE'RE) PLAYIN' FOR OURSELVES
FRIENDS JUST CALLED FROM ABILENE
HOPING THAT WE'RE WELL
PRE-CHORUS:
IT'S YOUR CHOICE
TO STAY AWAY
WHILE I GO OUT TO
EARN MY PAY
CHORUS:
TELL ME WHY
JUST ONE TIME
WHY WE CAN'T TRY
TO MAKE THIS RIGHT
IS OUR LOVE
ALREADY GONE?
TELL ME WHY
AND PROVE ME WRONG
PEDAL STEEL SOLO
4TH VERSE:
IT'S NINE P.M. IN NASHVILLE
I KNOW JUST WHERE YOU ARE
THE EMPTINESS YOU NEED TO FILL
IS TEARING US APART
5TH VERSE:
IT'S TIME FOR ME TO TAKE THE STAGE
AND SING THE AUSTIN SHOW
IS THERE A WAY TO RE-ENGAGE
OUR LOVE BEFORE YOU GO?
2ND PRE-CHORUS:
YOU DON'T SEEM TO
CARE TOO MUCH
EXACTLY WHAT
BECOMES OF US
CHORUS:
TELL ME WHY
JUST ONE TIME
WHY WE CAN'T TRY
TO MAKE THIS RIGHT
IS OUR LOVE
ALREADY GONE?
TELL ME WHY
AND PROVE ME WRONG
TELL ME WHY
TELL ME WHY
TELL ME WHY, TELL ME WHY
