[Verse 1] She comes home when the sun is rising, with someone else's smoke in her hair. She throws her shoes down in the corner, and never asks me where I've been. She knows it well, we spent the whole night together, she laughs when I look into her eyes. She never asks me where I've been, and says, “Good night, I'm going to sleep.” [Pre-Chorus] She's like fire whenever she touches me, she's the dream I never want to wake from. I know she'll never obey me, but when she's with me, she is mine. [Chorus] I've got a woman, she's running through my mind, I've got a woman, the one I'll never find. Hey, hey, I've got a woman, she's burning like a flame, I've got a woman, but she don't know my name. [Verse 2] I play my guitar when the lights come on, ten fingers pulling stories from the strings. The men sit there staring at the stage, but I know exactly who I'm playing for. I'm the king behind my amplifier, my old Fender sounds like thunder in the night. They only see the bodies in the red light, but I play my guitar for her alone. [Pre-Chorus 2] When I play, she lifts her head, I see that smile she saves for me. Maybe she knows what I am feeling, maybe she's just waiting there for me. [Chorus] I've got a woman, she's running through my mind, I've got a woman, the one I'll never find. Hey, hey, I've got a woman, she's burning like a flame, I've got a woman, but she don't know my name. [Verse 3] Tonight I saw her with another man, he whispered something and she laughed. I couldn't see his hands at all, but I knew he'd given her something. I wanted to jump down from the stage, I wanted to drag that man away. But she looked at me and shook her head, as if to say, “Stay with your guitar.” As if I was the only one she ever trusted with her heart. [Bridge] One day I'll take you out of here, we'll drive somewhere nobody knows our name. You'll lay your head upon my shoulder, and I'll play for you until the night is gone. [Verse 4] The lights come on, and she spins around, her blonde hair falling like golden smoke. She looks at me while she moves, and I know she's doing it just for me. The men all stare at her, but none of them know her like I do. She smiles as she slowly bends before me, and I swear tonight she'll belong to me. [Final Chorus] I've got a woman, she's running through my mind, I've got a woman, the one I'll never find. Hey, hey, I've got a woman, she's burning like a flame, I've got a woman, but she don't know my name. [Outro / Revelation] The last show is over, I put my guitar back in its case. She puts her coat on and counts her money, while the first lights of morning fill the place. I stay a little longer on the stage, she waves goodbye and leaves with a stranger. Tomorrow night I'll play for her again, and maybe then she'll take me home.
