Lay Them Down

Well I rolled into town
At the start of this new year
And I dont know really why I came
But I am sure you think you do

I brought a guitar
And a penchant for singing blues
I brought a thirsty mouth
Still smackin of you

But its getting better. Better every night!
Yeah its getting better. Better all the time.

I been changing
Changing like the wind
I been changing
Since I dont know when

And I dont know where this train is going.

but
I like women
I like gin
I dig on billie holiday
Woman sing your sin.

But dont you ask me where this train is going

Ill take whatever you got to sell
Put it in my arms
And Ill see you in hell
I know my poppa aint gonna like what I got to say.

Cause he likes women
He drinks fine wine
Im sure he dreams, just like me
It helps with passing time

Cause were all gonna die
someday were gonna all have to lay our cards down.
Yah someday we gonna lay em down
Lets see what you got.

As for me?
I like women
I drink gin
Im sure im headed straight to hell
On account of all that sin

But I thank the lord
For the sand in my eye
And I thank the lord
I lived before I died.

Cause were all gonna die
someday were gonna all have to lay our cards down.
Yah someday we gonna lay em down
Lets see what you got.
