Songs by Brian Devereaux

Small Town Saturday Night

Saturday night, another small town, hotel room’s closing in
Just got off the phone with my girl, told her I wouldn’t sin
Trouble is, I know a dance is on, somewhere
And looking out my window, everybody is, heading down there

Dressed in the mirror, combed my hair, had a few drinks, went downstairs
Out on the street, met some people, by the town square
Asked me, to go along with them, couldn’t refuse
Down to the fire hall, everybody’s lined up, two by two

(Chorus)
No, not the way she wants me to be
But it’s small town Saturday night
Once in a while I have to tear it up
I can’t help myself

Bar is open, tables filled, all kinds of food and women to
There’s a fight outside, couples kissing, had a shot of the local brew
Band is playing; guitar starts off the tunes, they’re all in key
On the fire hall floor, everybody’s dancing all around me x 2

feel alright, small town Saturday Night

[Lyrics]


HOW’D YOU KNOW

It was getting harder, every day
Couldn’t wake up, wishing my time away
All at once, a change came over me
First time, I began to see
There’s a chance my world would turn around

(Chorus)
When you came into my life, I was lost, how’d you know
That I was near the end
You took control of me, just in time, how’d you know
Switched on a light inside, before, I would have fallen

I was living with anger and fear
It disappeared, after I felt you here
Doesn’t matter, now what’s happening
Cause of you, I can handle anything
Can’t believe how easy it is
Just have to think of you
(Chorus)

I can feel you in me
When there’s something, hard to do
One thing I believe is that
It starts with you

(Chorus)
When you came into my life, I was lost
God how’d you know

[Lyrics]




You’re Leaving

You turn to me a little bit, less often
You never call my name in bed, anymore
Why has it come to this?
I still can’t resist
You, but something’s changed
I’ve seen you crying
(Chorus)
But I don’t want to talk about it
I don’t want to know about it
I don’t want to think about it
You’re leaving, you’re leaving

Many times late at night, I’m all alone
Wondering if, you’ll be coming home
You’re working late
Same excuse that I hate
You don’t answer when I call
I feel you’re lying

(Chorus, instrumental)

What am I doing that’s making you mad?
I can’t go on, feeling this bad
The look in your eyes makes it clear
I’m lonely even, when you’re hear
You’re with someone else, or somewhere else
But I don’t want to talk about it

That, you’re leaving me all alone
It’s not right, don’t go
Don’t understand all that’s happening
But I suspect, it’s over now
(Break, chorus)

[Lyrics]
