Silver-tongued Devil

She don’t like him talkin' to blondes
Girls in town ain’t used to men like John
Another waitress sets him up for free
Ain’t that good lookin',
but he sure knows what to say
Yeah, he’s got a voice
Like a tuxedo and pink champagne
When he speaks his heart,
It sounds so lonely, like a leavin' train
Yeah, he’s got a voice
Like a tuxedo and pink champagne
When he speaks his heart, he sounds so lonely
You’re one silver-tongued devil
Next door neighbors since we were nine
This old mill town is in a sharp decline
Talks about leaving almost every day
It’s the end of the season
And there’s no reason to stay
Yeah, he’s got a voice
Like a tuxedo and pink champagne
When he speaks his heart,
He sounds so lonely, like a leavin' train
Yeah, he’s got a voice
Like a tuxedo and pink champagne
When he speaks his heart, he sounds so lonely
You’re one silver-tongued devil
Sometimes he’d talk about a fantasy
To go off and become a famous guy
His girlfriend went and had the baby
And how it would just break his heart now
To leave them behind
Yeah, he’s got a voice
Like a tuxedo and pink champagne
When he speaks his heart,
He sounds so lonely, like a leavin' train
Yeah, he’s got a voice
like a tuxedo and pink champagne
When he speaks his heart, he sounds so lonely
You’re one silver-tongued,
You’re one silver-tongued,
You’re one silver-tongued devil
