[Intro]

One more


[Verse 1]

Well, I heard Steve Earle had lots of wives

About as many as cats have lives

Met him on his records and we're good friends

He writes a song for everyone

They fall in love and before it's done

He writes an even better one when it ends


[Pre-Chorus]

Well, I don't have to take your name

And you won't have to take the blame


[Chorus]

Steve Earle, Steve Earle, please write a song for me

I promise I won't take a dime when it comes my time to leave

The others wanted your whole heart, but I just want your sleeve

Steve Earle, Steve Earle, please write a song for me


[Verse 2]

Well, I heard he loves each one the same

As much as Ireland loves the rain

Steve, it rains at my house everyday

He met 'em all in every port

'Cause falling in love is a pilgrim sport

And as long as I can be the pirate, I'm okay!


[Pre-Chorus]

You moved to the city, baby, you had to go

But I love apples and I could learn to love the snow


[Chorus]

Steve Earle, Steve Earle, please write a song for me

I promise I won't take a dime when it comes my time to leave

The others wanted your whole heart, but I just want your sleeve

Steve Earle, Steve Earle, please write a song for me

Come on!


[Instrumental Break]


[Pre-Chorus]

I could walk around in your favorite shoes

Come on, just one line, what do you got to lose?

And I don't bruise


[Chorus]

Steve Earle, Steve Earle, please write a song for me

I promise I won't take a dime when it comes my time to leave

The others wanted your whole heart, but I just want your sleeve


[Skit]

And a shirt that goes with it 'cause it smells like you

And you know I like to sleep in that

And a vacation house at the beach

And a really small wedding, only about three hundred people

Did I tell y'all I have kids?

You're gonna love 'em

They're gonna need to go to college

Do you like reggae?

I love reggae

On Tuesday nights, I like to go to trivia

So that's your night to go out with the boys and then you can...

Is this thing on?


[Chorus]

Steve Earle, Steve Earle, please write a song for me

I do!


[Outro]

Yeah! Fun! Cool!

Should we come listen then?

Oh my God, he's gonna kill us
