Have you walked through the prairie, alone in the dark
holding the bottle by its throat?
Did she leave you for him, the guy with the stones,
red hair, long coat, blue eyes?
Have you build yourself a home in the sand
to be covered in rain and flattened again?
Did they bring you the loan with grin guaranteed,
hands shook your pride into vain?
You beg, plead, cry, bathe in disgrace
Don’t close yourself shut,
Spill your pain on frets
Have you wished on a pet, a conversing old mate
could carry your thoughts and bury your cane?
Did they praise you at first and laughed at your jokes
to crude you into dismiss?
Was your hair way too long and sight not aligned,
were you speaking too soft or thinking too loud?
Did you climb thru the echo of father’s last words
to breathe the next living dawn?
You beg, plead, cry, bathe in disgrace
Don’t close yourself shut,
Spill your pain on frets
Have you walked through the Perry, alone in the dark
holding the bottle by its throat?
Did she leave you for him, the guy with the scores,
white hair, long coat, dark eyes?
You beg, plead, cry, bathe in disgrace
Don’t close yourself shut,
Spill your pain on frets
Oh my darling, life is a mess
But when it’s over
Be sure there’re no regrets
