I got a secret no one knows
Keep it in a box inside my soul
Though my face says it ain't so
Maybe we could get together tonight
One thing's sure as I get old
Miss the girl with a heart of gold
Pretty little thing won't let you go
Maybe we could get together tonight
But I won't expect you to understand
Why I can't be a better man
Promise if you'll take my hand
Maybe we can make it all right
Call you up on the telephone
Rocky mountains way too cold
Hop a plane down to Mexico
Maybe we can get together tonight
But I don't expect you to compromise
Or forgive me for my sins and lies
Miss the kindness in your eyes
Maybe we can make it all right
But I been up all night
I kick myself and I smoke too much
And I been up all night
Shoot myself for losing touch
With the ones that I love the most
Now they haunt me like a ghost
Love that I can't save for later
Like my Belmont radiator
There's a church that we both know
Down in Saint Ignacio
Call to say that I'm ready to go
Maybe we can get together tonight
I know many years from now
Folks will ask how I did without
I'll reply that I don't know how
I ever let you out of my life
But I know damn well what I did was wrong
It's been three years since you been gone
I don't think I can carry on
Maybe you can make it tonight
I got a secret no one knows
Keep it in a box inside my soul
Though my face says it ain't so
Maybe we could get together tonight
