a song called ode
I showed up at your wedding
with a dollar bill above my ear rolled up like a smoke
I showed up at your wedding
too loaded to talk with nothin but blue jeans on
I thought that I’d sing you a song
and I imagined I’d win back your heart
I howled like the wind cuz I forgot my guitar
thought I was doin alright til the best man knocked me out
I came to on the side of the road
about four miles outside of town
I wasn’t hurt bad: a concussion and my pride
but my god you looked pretty in your wedding gown
I’d take the next train home but I’m broke
Don’t need your pity, but I could use some coke
or even some booze to clear my head
just a twenty and the words “this way to the bar”
Now that my love is gone
My heart is fading like the stars at dawn
Now that my love is gone
I’ll have one more beer and i'll move along
with a dollar bill above my ear rolled up like a smoke
I showed up at your wedding
too loaded to talk with nothin but blue jeans on
I thought that I’d sing you a song
and I imagined I’d win back your heart
I howled like the wind cuz I forgot my guitar
thought I was doin alright til the best man knocked me out
I came to on the side of the road
about four miles outside of town
I wasn’t hurt bad: a concussion and my pride
but my god you looked pretty in your wedding gown
I’d take the next train home but I’m broke
Don’t need your pity, but I could use some coke
or even some booze to clear my head
just a twenty and the words “this way to the bar”
Now that my love is gone
My heart is fading like the stars at dawn
Now that my love is gone
I’ll have one more beer and i'll move along
