Lydia Loveless – Mile High lyrics

[Verse 1]
I didn’t come here to make friends but I have no choice
I was getting so tired of being one of the boys
And when I got drunk I lost all of my poise
I’m so sorry for the all-American noise

I was thinking of things I’d do if I had the time
Until my fingers smell like pussy and Lucky Strikes
Why don’t you call me when the crisis subsides
‘Cause you know I can’t resist making an old man smile

[Chorus]
Now I can’t come down, I feel so good
I didn’t want to even when I could
I’m a mile high, yeah
Well, I’m a mile high with you tonight

[Verse 2]
And my heart’s breaking faster than my will not to call you
‘Cause when you said that you wanted me I thought it was true
Oh, and I just want to belong to you
Well, that lie damn near split my body in two

[Chorus]
And now I can’t come down, god, it feels so good
I didn’t want to even when I still could
I’m a mile high, yeah
I’ll be a mile high with you tonight

[Bridge]
And I don’t want to die
I wanted to see the look on your face
When I jump I want to hear all the sounds you’d make
Oh, can I have one taste of every breath that you take?

[Verse 3]
I can’t sleep, I’ve been climbing the walls all day
Trying to think about that perfect place
We could still get by on a piece of eight
Know what I mean baby
No one would ever try to keep me away from the gate again

[Chorus]
Because I’d be a mile high
I’d be a mile high with you tonight
We’d be a mile high, yeah
Meet me a mile high again
