The Usual Time - Steve Earle & The Dukes, The Dukes, Steve Earle

Late in the evening

Just about to lay down

Was there at your backdoor

Did you hear a strange sound, girl?

Honey I just saw your light

Here I come baby

It’s the usual time of night

I can’t help but want you

Ever since I known ya

I would never hurt you

I don’t want to own you, girl

I just want to hold you tight

Here I come baby

It’s the usual time of night

I know you don’t love me

I know you don’t need me

If you ever want me

Just hit on your back porch light

At the usual time of night

Now I been down to Texas

I been to New Orleans

I was born a rambler

You are gonna haunt my dreams

Any time the wound is right

Here I come baby

It’s the usual time of night

I know you don’t love me

I know you don’t need me

If you ever want me

Just leave on your back porch light

At the usual time of night

Here I come

Here I come baby
