Lyrics
Stealing Your Heart Away
(Verse) Well the lights are low and the beers have been flowing
Hard and fast, you think you got it coming
It's a Saturday night you're on your own and you like it that way
You got your coat on an empty chair beside the table,
Got a cigarette lit; the second one this ev'ning
Well the music's loud, you're watching the floor, and you like it that way
(Chorus) And then he comes in like a gambler with his stakes set too high
Like a honkeytonkin', fast talkin' hero in the night
And he comes in like a lover, like a thief in the night
And he's stealing your heart away
Yes he's stealing your heart away
(Verse) Moving slow and easy to the music
Playing country songs, talkin' "easy loving"
Takes an empty seat sitting in the corner 'cause he likes it that way
Catch your eye and the table starts to jumpin'
And the room to spin, you know it ain't the drinkin'
Bums a cigarette; you know you should be going but you like it that way
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
