Am I Allowed Lyrics

Am I allowed to step in your shoes
I know you've been sad. Everyone's been blue
Just let me see you. I sure miss your smile
We've both been lonely. We can kiss for a while
Just let me see you

You see I've been working at the backdoor galley
Don't make much money but I got good stories
But the men who go there say they see right through me
They talk a lot about life when their big ship comes
But the shores are empty and the waters' dirty
They talk a lot of big dreams
They talk a lot of big dreams
But they ain't your dreams

So when you come home, dear, swear to God I'll love you
I was much too young then. This time I'll be true
We'll buy a big house with a great big willow
We'll sit upon the green lawn; watch the flowers grow
When you come home, dear

And this town is dying. All the stores are closing
Whole town drinks whiskey startin' early mornin'
Everything is changin'
Everyone is changin'
I've been thinkin' bout leavin'
But I must stop thinkin'
Becuase I lost myself

We'll stay up all night just telling stories.
Like we did before, dear, any of this happened
They'll hear us laughing.
And everywhere that we go they'll see us smiling
And holding hands, too,
Guess I still love you, I want the world to know,
That I still love you, I want the world to know,
That I still love you, I want the world to know,
That I still love you, that I still love you.
That I still love you

So am I allowed to step in your shoes,
I know you've been sad. Everyone's been blue.
Just let me see you. I sure miss your smile,
We've both been lonely. We can kiss for a while,
Just let me see you. I want the world to know,
That I still love you, I want the world to know,
That I still love you, I want the world to know,
That I still love you, that I still love you.
