Holdin' Court - The Robert Cray Band, The Memphis Horns

Our love was strong

As love could be

But then someone got between

You and me

People said we were finished

When you walked out the door

I was so worried

I walked a hole in the floor

But I’m holdin' court tonight

Surprising all my friends

I’m holdin' court tonight, baby

Cause I got you back again

All the one nighters

That I had to do

I didn’t think about what

That would do to you

Some smart guy thought that while I was away

That he could just slip right in and take my place

But I’m holdin' court tonight

Surprising all my friends

I’m holdin' court tonight, baby

Cause I got you back again

I called you from tomorrow

To talk about yesterday

Nothing about I love 'ya

There’s just some bills to pay

You said that time and loneliness

Had made you weak

It’s hard not to listen when temptation speaks

We talked about it

And we set it straight

And now I’m on the town, baby

We’re gonna celebrate

I’m holdin' court tonight

Surprising all my friends

I’m holdin' court tonight, baby

Cause I got you back again

I’m holdin' court tonight, yeah…
