Feelin' Single

Emmylou Harris · Elite Hotel [Rhino Records] [2004]

(Wayne Kemp)



Well, I really had a ball last night

I held all the pretty boys tight

I was feelin' single, seein' double

Wound up in a whole lotta trouble.



But today I'll face the big fight

But I really had a ball last night.



When I came home from work this morning

My baby was feelin' low

And he told me what was on his mind

Then he told me where I could go.



Well, I didn't go where he told me to

'Cause the water was cold in the lake

Now there's something fishy 'bout this whole deal

I don't see where I made my mistake.



Well, I really had a ball last night

I held all the pretty boys tight.



I was feelin' single, seein' double

Wound up in a whole lotta trouble

But today I'll face the big fight

But I really had a ball last night.



When I woke up this morning

Like me, the sun was high

Well, I started walking the long way home

Just to think of an alibi.



Well I couldn't think of a darn gawn thing

That hadn't already been said

So I guess I better just play it by ear

'Cause I'm already dead.



Well, I really had a ball last night

I held all the pretty boys tight.



I was feelin' single, seein' double

Wound up in a whole lotta trouble

But today I'll face the big fight

But I really had a ball last night.



Yes, today I'll face the big fight

But I really had a ball last night...
