Saw her in Roosevelt Springs time doesn't touch anything she never did say she could sing but I figured it so I needed some company then not sisters or children again that's a hell of a spot to be in but she put me in tow Money and liquor and lust have taken my heart and my trust I could see ashes of dust headed my way She tended bar in town her alto settled me down so I started hanging around didn't need much to say She smelled like cigarettes and wine she kept me happy all the time I know that ain't much of a line but it's the God's own truth she lives down inside of me still rolled up like a twenty dollar bill she left me alone with these pills and the last of my youth Wings on her shoulders and feet a bar on Gethsemane street I took time to plan retreat backed out the door I must be attracted to those who've witnessed a man in the throes Of life that ain't grindstone to nose, but pedal to floor She smelled like cigarettes and wine she kept me happy all the time I know that ain't much of a line but it's the God's own truth she lives down inside of me still rolled up like a twenty dollar bill she left me alone with these pills and my smoldering youth Lost on the dry side of town My memories slowing me down She shook me and I came around I came back to life With nary a mother or dad She showed me what I never had The princess of leaves, she gets sad 'Cause I won't take a wife She smelled like cigarettes and wine she kept me happy all the time I know that ain't much of a line but it's the God's own truth she lives down inside of me still rolled up like a twenty dollar bill she left me alone with these pills and the last of my youth
