From the recording Queen Of A Small Town
Lyrics
Well, now, been on the road 5 years, 6 months and 7 days
My motor's dragging down this lost highway
No time for this confusion or to waste another minute on your words
Well, you think it is amusing, but it is deeply depressing and disturbed
Now, my prima donna baby, she don't talk too much
Yeah, her daddy's in the money and her momma's out of touch
Man, I had to be insane to even think I'd ever break that family curse
But I know I could have faked with a few more dollars in my purse
Well, it ain't like my old lady, you know, to try her best
She's got no aspirations to be unlike the rest
And there ain't nothin' so sad as patience wasted on a stone
Well, I could leave this place tomorrow if I did not feel so all alone
Well, I ain't a perfect person, and I never said I was
I am constantly learning how to keep my head above
But at least I know there's things that I will not ever know
Well, it must be easy living when you've never been the one to take the blow
Now, early in the morning, throws the blanket off her head
Drinks a cup of coffee and she crawls back into bed
No, she don't need no loving and she ain't got love to give
And you know I try to talk to her, but each time I'm sorry that I did
Well, I've got one more thing to say to you, my baby blue
The games you play someday will come around to play with you
And on that fateful night, I hope you're not too surprised
Oh, 'cause you know nothing gets you nothing, and your lies just get you lies
Well, now, my brakes are screaming and my engine burst
Cracked lips are bleeding, and I cannot quench my thirst
My voice is straining and my coat's stuck in the door
Oh, you know I hate complaining, but I hate staying quiet even more
