When I meet you at Juan's party you'd just moved here
You knew some of my friends from Tulsa
I liked your accent & we talked til Juan kicked us out
You walked me back to my apartment
But you didn't come inside
You just smiled at me so wide
You said "I'm so glad I met you
Rene Goodnight"
I thought about you the next morning & called up Fran
to see how well she knew you in Tulsa
She said "Uh oh he's got a reputation here
I heard that he hurt some old partners"
Is that why you had to move
Are the Tulsa rumors true
When you called that night I sent it to voicemail
When I saw you at the diner the next weekend
I got scared & ducked into a booth
& hid behind a menu til you got up to go
I watched you pay your check & leave alone
Now I see you in my dreams
Sometimes sinister & mean
Sometimes sweet as hell
I don't know what to believe
When you walked me home that night
I had felt safe by your side
You said "I'm so glad I met you
Rene Goodnight"
