Verse I got
green and I got blues and every
day there's a little less difference between the two. I belly-
up and disappear. Well I
ain't really drowning 'cause I see the beach from here. I could
take a Greyhound home but when I got there it'd be gone along with
everything a home is made up of. So I'll take
two of what you're having and I'll take all of what you got to kill this
goddamn lonely, goddamn lonely love.
Sister, listen to what your daddy says.
Don't be ashamed of things that hide behind your dress.
Belly-up and arch your back.
Well I ain't really falling asleep; I'm fading to black.
You could come to me by plane, but that wouldn't be the same
as that old motel room in Texarkana was.
So I'll take two of what you're having and I'll take all of what you got
to kill this goddamn lonely, goddamn lonely love.
Stop me if you've heard this one before a man walk into a bar and
leaves before his ashes hit the floor.
Stop me if I ever get that far the sun's a desperate star that
burns like every single one before. And I could
find another dream, one that keeps me warm and clean but I ain't
dreamin' anymore, I'm waking up. So I'll take
two of what you're having and I'll take all of what you got to kill this
goddamn lonely, goddamn lonely love.
