SWEET LADY

My breath is strong, warm you down to your bones,

and use the fumes to start fires

My head is achin’, my hands are shakin’,

and to what end you inquire

I drink to forget, but forget to stop drinkin’,

so I just wander around

Aint done wanderin’ yet, but my hopes get to sinkin’,

look at this hole in the ground

My eyes painted red, I move like the undead,

but I aint lookin to hunt

And if you see a woman, that’s from whom I’m runnin’,

just please don’t call her a

Sweet, sweet lady, you know that im crazy

You showed that to me so long, long ago

Please, please baby, don’t think that I’m lazy

Just cause I hide inside the bottles you throw

The sun was bakin’, your feet were shakin’,

earthquakin’ as you came along

Ashamed to say I cowered instead of takin’ you to the bed,

But you wouldn’t tell me what’s wrong

And so as our fortunes worsened, our pet names turned into cursin’

But I aint ever succumb to the weather

And I’m sorry to say, that it turned out your way

Cause just like them legs we aint stayin’ together

Sweet, sweet lady, you know that I’m crazy

You showed that to me so long, long ago

Please, please baby, don’t think that I’m lazy

Just cause I hide inside the bottles you throw
