Yesterday I posted a request for the lyrics to I'm allowed by Buffalo able to post the song (along with the chords I figured out myself). Just like an earlier post, I know the song from a semi-unplugged album from a Dutch radio show (2 Meter Sessies, vol.5, Radio Records 477702-2, distributed by Sony), so it can slightly differ from the original.
I'm allowed - Buffulo Tom

Waited for an answer
Cause I waited twenty-five years
They stopped my bleeding
But could never stop all those tears
Waiting for the day when
You came out from beneath all that weight
I've tried to lift it
But it seems I got there too late
Just too late
Just too late
I'm allowed
-
Came to the party But I got my own signals crossed Thought I was welcome But I felt like I should get lost
Know that I'm older 'Cause I feel that everywhere I could talk to no one 'Cause I knew not one person there
No one's there They just stared 'Cause they're allowed
As vivid as a car-wreck Watch them dripping off highway ramps She came to me smiling With her heart underneath both her hands
She spoke of a French boy At least two times through the night It could have been the liquor Or the music, but that is alright
