  • Walk you home to see
    Where you're living around
    And I know this place
    Pour yourself on me
    And you know I'm the one
    That you won't forget

    In your den always
    I see something's right
    When I see your wink
    When he comes around
    I see you're fixing the shine
    And my face won't speak

    Hate to be so emotional
    I didn't mean to get physical
    But when he pulled in and revved it up
    I said you call that a pickup truck
    And in the moonlight I throwed him down
    A kicking, screaming, a rolling around
    A little piece of a bloody tooth
    Just so you know I was thinking of you
    Just so you know I was oh

    Trembling knees are weak
    And its cold as a hole
    Hug your bones and skin
    Crackling wood's gone white
    And my eyes swolled up now
    I can see the light

    Hate to be so emotional
    I didn't mean to get physical
    But when he pulled in and revved it up
    I said you call that a pickup truck
    And in the moonlight I throwed him down
    A kicking, screaming, a rolling around
    A little piece of a bloody tooth
    Just so you know I was thinking of you
    Just so you know I oh
    Just so you know I oh
    Just so you know I oh

    I hate to be so emotional
    I didn't mean to get physical
    But when he pulled in and revved it up
    I said you call that a pickup truck
    And in the moonlight I throwed him down
    A kicking, screaming, a rolling around
    A little piece of a bloody tooth
    Just so you know I was thinking of you
    Just so you know I was thinking of you
    Just so you know I oh
    Just so you know I oh Writer/s: ANTHONY CALEB FOLLOWILL, IVAN NATHAN FOLLOWILL, JARED FOLLOWILL, MATTHEW FOLLOWILL

  • Holly from Florida Another KOL masterpiece. Love this song.
  • Martin from Brisbane, Australiaf--k i love the kings of leon formula, this song is perfect!! everyone is doing their own different thing - even the rhythm section seems out of sync - but goddam, the band gels everything so well together. Matt's guitar tone makes this song too - his licks are so simple but they just grab you. KOL deserve every bit of recognition and fame they get, because to me, their music is just that good that it appeals to the mainstream audience. fave lyrics in this song: "in the moonlight i frowed him down; kickin' screamin' and rollin' around". good work boys, pelase dont release this as a single haha
