She took from him his liquor And drained from him his pride. Leaving but one reminder Before his downward slide. A slide that left him hanging From his thumbs and toes And from this perch he’s dying To see just what she knows. She knew he had been runnin’ She knew he had done wrong. He left her there just achin’ To sing again that song. A song of tears and sadness Of pain and so much more. A song of too much madness Beyond the bedroom door. He used to call her Darlin’ And share with her his heart. But she just laid there stewin He’d spilled their apple cart. And you should know an apple Has worms plum to the core Just like a cheatin’ bum does Beyond that bedroom door. |
