Leave the old photo album
On the roadside
Between Cleveland
And hell
Forgetting memories
She spits at you
Drive off in your mint 56 Mustang
Toward Vegas
Drunk
Gambling slurred emotions
At Elvis's all night wedding chapel
Waking up to a stranger
Looking like Dr Ruth
On acid
Bleed happy thoughts
Till you float away
And never have
To come back here again
Laughing all the way to Nashville
Write a top 40 song
About a life gone wrong
And the wiener dog
That you ran over ten miles back
Swimming in pools of Washingtons
Till your Dr Ruth impersonator
Wakes you up with an image of big lips
Coming straight for your face
With a big slobbery kiss
