Flagship

There's a few too many years on this hotel
 She used to be a beauty you can tell
 The lights down in the lobby they don't shine
 They just flicker while the elevator whines
 And the couple in the corner of the bar
 Have traveled light and clearly traveled far
 She's got nothing left to learn about his heart
 They're sitting there a thousand miles apart
 Baby let's not ever get that way
 I'll say whatever words I need to say
 I'll throw rocks at your window from the street
 And we'll call ourselves the flagship of the fleet
 There's a lady shining shoes up by the door
 And cowboy boots for seven dollars more
 And I remember how you loved to see them shine
 So I run upstairs and get a pair of mine
 And there's a painting on the wall beside the bed
 The watercolor sky at Hilton Head
 Then I see you in that summer when we met
 And that boy you left in tears in his Corvette
 Baby, let's not ever get that way
 I'll drive you to the ocean every day
 We'll stay up in the presidential suite
 And call ourselves the flagship of the fleet
 ♪
 You gotta try and keep yourself naive
 In spite of all the evidence believed
 And volunteer to lose touch with the world
 And focus on one solitary girl
 Baby, let's not live to see it fade
 I'll cancel all the plans I've ever made
 I'll drive and you can ride in the back seat
 And we'll call ourselves the flagship of the fleet
