NANCI GRIFFITH
(Lyle Lovett, some word changes by Nanci Griffith) Now they all sat around in a circle They were laughing and all telling lies Then the tall one he bumped in a dollar Oh he said boys I've got nothing to hide Now if the King and the Queen stood together Then the ace he would not be to blame And if the cards were all laid on the table, now darlin' Then love could be more than a game And if the stars didn't shine on the water Then the sun wouldn't burn on the sand And if I were the woman you wanted babe I would not be the woman that I am And I have seen my share of long nights And I have told my share of lies And I have run into the darkness, now darlin' When I saw the look in your eyes But if the night didn't lie in the darkness Then the daylight would be hard to find And if the truth didn't turn to a weakness, now babe I would have never have spoken my mind And if the stars didn't shine on the water Then the sun wouldn't burn on the sand And if I were woman you wanted babe Then I would not be the woman that I am So if you're going out to California Then don't linger in New Mexico And if you think of the one there behind you, there darlin' Then you might not feel so alone And if the stars didn't shine on the water Then the sun wouldn't burn on the sand And if I were the woman you wanted babe I would not be the woman that I am And if I were the woman you wanted babe I would not be the woman that I am
