Lyrics:

1980
Writer(s): David Bellamy

Shag carpet on a hotel floor black and white TV
Playin' songs to a half full house watchin' them watch me
Give me one good reason why I should take it anymore
I got better things to do with my life besides being a music bore

I could be makin' love to you I could be there at your side
Instead of being on this ole jet plane on this long ride
I could be makin' love to you I could be you southern star
I could be makin' love to you if I was only where you are

We cut a record yesterday boy it sounded great
They say it comes out sometime this year I can hardly wait
Till then I'm a barroom boy playin' for my pay
But if I could only be there in your arms you know I'd throw it all away

I could be makin' love to you I could be there at your side
Instead of being on this ole jet plane on this long ride
I could be makin' love to you I could be you southern star
I could be makin' love to you if I was only where you are

We cut a record yesterday boy it sounded great
They say it comes out sometime this year I can hardly wait
Till then I'm a barroom boy playin' for my pay
But if I could only be there in your arms you know I'd throw it all away
