  			D 
Perfume in the air brought back a time 
             G  
When we were rollin? out past the county line 
A  
Smells like love with just a hint of mistrust 
         G     D        A           D 
And for awhile there, a whole lotta lust 
          G     D     A              D 
And for a while there, a whole lotta lust 
 
          G 
Cause you turned on your Bible when you left home 
        D 
And you never did like to feel alone 
           E7                           A 
And it?s a sad day when I can?t see the light 
          G            D            A    D 
Cause the moon and the stars stayed in tonight 
    G            D            A    D  
The moon and the stars stayed in tonight 
 
 
It?s been awhile since I?ve been to this place 
Between the cactus and caliche it?s a lonely space 
The beauty I see in the fresh morning dew 
It has a happiness that brings a picture of you 
A happiness that brings a picture of you 
 
Chorus 
 
I saw in the day, the day that I cried 
It was the day my spirit almost dies 
For the passion that?s left, there?s little to say 
You weren?t the best thing I had goin? anyway 
You weren?t the best thing I had goin? anyway 
 
Chorus
