The Weekend
Steve Wariner · Steal Another Day [Selectone] [2003]
Why can't I just walk away,
I used to be good at goodbye.
But out on the water,
Under the stars,
I let the moonlight play a trick on my heart.
[Chorus]
You had some fun for the weekend.
But I'll be in love for the rest of my life.
You took me out to the deep end,
And I fell right over,
I didn't think twice.
I finally got something worth keepin'.
And if I can't have you tonight,
At least I had the weekend.
The radio plays, the sound of the waves rollin' in.
The smell of the night,
Sure can get under your skin.
Just for a moment,
I held you too close.
Now I'm all out of time, and I don't wanna let go.
[Chorus]
How much can happen in a night or two?
I guess it's all depending on your point of view.
[Chorus x2]
