She Don't Get High

Alan Jackson · Thirty Miles West [2012]

She used to get her fix with just one little kiss or touch

'Cause in her over the edge

I keep her up, making love all night,

had the stuff to make her feel alright

But now she won't go near that ledge



She don't get high anymore,

I don't make her fly like before,

Her heart is out there soaring somewhere else

I'm not the song that she sings,

I can't give her those wings

Hard as I try, I'm not the sky she's looking for

She don't get high anymore



I remember when she used to breathe me in

Back then, she couldn't get enough

We'd lay looking out at the clouds, I thought we never come down

She said my love was like some kind of drug



But she don't get high anymore,

I don't make her fly like before,

Her heart is out there soaring somewhere else

I'm not the dream that she dreams,

I can't give her those wings

Hard as I try, I'm not the sky she's looking for,

She don't get high anymore



Oh, I'm not the song that she sings

I can't give her those wings

Hard as I try, I'm not the sky she's looking for,

She don't get high anymore

She don't get high anymore

She don't get high

Anymore

She don't get high, she don't get high

On me anymore

Oh she don't get high anymore
