lyrics

here i go
blown out and beat down
pretty women
ask me to come around
country girl got warm legs and a place to sleep
we make some lovin and im right back on the street
and when she asks me why i cant stay
i say its because

theres plenty of rockin chairs in hell
and jelly hole motels
for a shoe shine gamblin man to settle down
so as the world keeps spinnin around
i dont sleep
and my feet
they hardly touch the ground

send me your letter from an exotic country
with a time and place to meet in a day dream
trespassin angel comin down the hallway
with a pastor gettin drunk on a sunday
and when i
ask them why
they look to the sky and say because
