Lyric Silver Tongued Devil

She don t like him talkin to blondes
Girls in town ain t used to men like John
Another waitress sets him up for free
Ain t that good lookin but he sure knows what to say
Yeah
he s got a voice like a tuxedo and pink champagne
When he speaks his heart it sounds so lonely like a leavin train
He sounds so lonely
You re one silver tongued devil

Next door neighbors since we were nine
This old mill town is in a sharp decline
Talks about leaving almost every day
It s the end of the season and there s no reason to stay
Sometimes he d talk about a fantasy
To go off and become a famous guy
His girlfriend just had the baby and how it would break his heart
Now to leave them behind.
