DSaw her in ARoosevelt Springs
time doesn't Dtouch anything
she never did Asay she could sing
but I figured it Dso
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
D7She smelled like Gcigarettes and wine
she kept me Dhappy all the time
I know that ain't Amuch of a A7line
but it's the God's own DtrutD7h
she lives down Ginside of me still
rolled up like a Dtwenty dollar bill
she left me Aalone with these A7pills
and the last of my Dyouth
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
D7She smelled like Gcigarettes and wine
she kept me Dhappy all the time
I know that ain't Amuch of a A7line
but it's the God's own DtrutD7h
she lives down Ginside of me still
rolled up like a Dtwenty dollar bill
she left me Aalone with these A7pills
and my smoldering Dyouth
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
D7She smelled like Gcigarettes and wine
she kept me Dhappy all the time
I know that ain't Amuch of a A7line
but it's the God's own DtrutD7h
she lives down Ginside of me still
rolled up like a Dtwenty dollar bill
she left me Aalone with these A7pills
and the last of my Dyouth
