John Hiatt Hangin' Round Here lyrics

If I could go back to love's first blush
Oh, my Lordy it would be a big rush
But I know you can't go back
You gotta keep moving that's a natural fact

So here we are still in love
I swear to you honey by the stars above
It's an old man's dreams that a young man fears
Well, I learned that honey just hangin' round here

I'm proud of my mistakes
And all the love and the trouble that I ever did make
I never mean to hurt no one
And when I did it wasn't any fun

But all the roads lead me straight to you
It's all good every little thing that you do
It gets me going just to have you near
I learned that honey just hangin' around here


Round here a man has to stand up tall
Round here a man has gotta learn to crawl
Got to go to the bottom to see the top
It's a one way ticket and it never does stop

If I could go back, I'd be alone
'Cause there's nothing back there just dust and bones
I guess it's you and me
Stumbling to the twenty first century

My mind's half gone but I don't care
Ain't thinking ahead I'm just getting there
And if you want you can help me steer

Well, I learned that honey just hangin' round here
Well, I learned that baby just hangin' round here
Well, I learned that honey just hangin' round here
