We Can Do What We Like lyrics - Rosanne Cash

If I don't make promises will you stay around

I won't let you hurt me

I know better by now

It's hard to control it

It hurts to decide if we trust in tomorrow

We can do what we like

You're a poet by nature, a drifter by heart

A change from the old ways

A love in the dark

It might be my conscience

It's hurting your pride

We may get pass heartache

We can do what we like

You can close the last door on my past

My eyes are set forward

My charts are in order

My hands are tied behind my back

I would not deny you or catch you off guard

For old souls with young minds can take things so hard

While we practise the distance I keep you in sight

After the snow clears

We can do what we like
