Squeeze Me In
Steve Earle · Other Songs - Steve Earle
Since I've been ridin' next to you
I ain't a-waitin' in no long line, honey
You know I'm only passin' through
[Chorus]
Well, I got here without warning
Well, I'm leavin' in the mornin'
You won't find me hangin' round your door tomorrow like your other men
Hey darlin', squeeze me in
I've been sleepin' by the road side, honey
Holdin' my suitcase next to me
You can't ignore me cause it's been tried, honey
I'm gonna get you, wait and see
[Chorus]
Darlin', squeeze me in
