[Verse 1]

Sun go down like a tired old man

Bleedin’ gold into the river bend

Dock boards creak where I’m standin’ still

Watchin’ that water roll against my will

Air so thick you can almost taste

Sugar and smoke just driftin’ in place

Somewhere close, but I can’t see

Sweet fried dreams and memory

[Verse 2]

You sittin’ there with your head turned low

Drawin’ lines in the wood real slow

Got one foot in, one foot gone

Like your heart can’t tell right from wrong

Trumpet cry from a block away

Sounds like somethin’ I can’t say

Night roll in, sky turn blue

All I know… I’m stuck on you

[Chorus]

There ain’t no maybe, baby

Ain’t no halfway in my soul

I done lived without you, darlin’

That’s how I know

There ain’t no maybe, baby

Ain’t no doubt in what I feel

You can run from love if you want to

But you can’t outrun what’s real

[Verse 3]

Boat horn call from the dark somewhere

Lonely sound hangin’ in the air

You finally look but your eyes ain’t free

Like you see the truth but don’t trust me

You say, “I hear every word you say…

I just don’t know if I feel that way”

And it cuts clean through this southern night

‘Cause your wrong ain’t wrong… and your right ain’t right

[Verse 4]

I turn slow, put my hand on the rail

Wood worn down like a tired tale

Ain’t no game, ain’t no pretend

I ain’t guessin’ how this gon’ end

I say, “Girl, I ain’t half in love

Ain’t no question I’m thinkin’ of

I done walked this world alone

And I know what it ain’t… and I know what it’s known”

[Chorus]

There ain’t no maybe, baby

Ain’t no halfway in my soul

I done lived without you, darlin’

That’s how I know

There ain’t no maybe, baby

But I see it in your eyes

You been burned by a fire before

Now you scared of the light

[Bridge]

River keep rollin’, don’t ask why

Moon come up, sun still die

Truth don’t change ‘cause you afraid

Love don’t wait for the plans we made

You step away but you don’t leave

Standin’ right there in between

What you want and what you fear

I’m all in… you still not here

[Final Chorus

There ain’t no maybe, baby…

But maybe’s where you stand

I’m reachin’ out with open arms

You holdin’ back your hands

There ain’t no maybe, baby…

But I can feel it now

Love don’t always come together

Just ‘cause we know howDock still creakin’… river still rolls…

Trumpet cryin’ low…

“There ain’t no maybe… baby…”

But you don’t move…

And I don’t go…
