Dwight Yoakam – Fast As You lyrics

Maybe someday I’ll be strong
Maybe it won’t be long
I’ll be the one who’s tough, yeah
You’ll be the one who’s got it rough
It won’t be long
And maybe I’ll be real strong
Maybe I’ll do things right
Maybe I’ll start tonight
You’ll learn to cry like me, girl
Baby, let’s just wait and see
Maybe I’ll start tonight
And do things right
You’ll control me, oh, so boldly
Rule me ‘til I’m free
The pain that shakes me finally makes me
Get up off of my knees
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Maybe I’ll be fast as you
Maybe I’ll break hearts too
But I think that you’ll slow down
When your turn to hurt comes around
Maybe I’ll break hearts
And be as fast as you, uh
You’ll control me, oh, so boldly
Rule me ‘til I’m free
The pain that shakes me finally makes me
Get up off of my knees
Maybe I’ll be fast as you
Maybe I’ll break hearts too
I think that you’ll slow down
When your turn to hurt comes around
Maybe I’ll break hearts
And be as fast as you
Maybe I’ll break hearts
And be as fast as you
Oh, sookie
Maybe someday I’ll be strong
Maybe it won’t be long
I’ll be the one who’s strong
You’ll be the one who’s got it rough
You’ll be the one who’s got it rough
