Y'all know I used to own a bar right It was in El Paso I called it the hard life If you step outside on a dark night Check it out Juarez look like starlight
You goin think it sounds contrived But its just like how I describe July in 2005 when the devil walked into my small little dive She came inside and sat down Whatever we see all types in that town She kinda blended into the background The waitress went over like what'll you have now She asked for a whiskey coke The waitress stood there lookin like a ghost And then the devil cleared her throat Lowered her voice and this is the quote she spoke
I love you you make me high If you love me back I'll never say goodbye I love you ain't no lie If you love me back we could paint the sky
But we ain't gotta get into it tonight Walk away if you afraid to try But tell me what you wanna do with your life Buz on the day you die I'll be on your side Okay I guess so apparently my waitress is afraid of the devil
And could tell she felt unsettled go take a cigarette break get mellow The whole bar got quiet seemed like everything went plush and dream like I didn't know what to think but I kept my cool while I prepared that drink Then I delivered her beverage That'll be 2 dollars 50 cents miss She didn't even pretend to flich Just grabbed the glass took it straight to her lips But I wasn't convinced it don't matter who you are I'm runnin a business Fuck you pay me not includin the tip She was lookin into the distance and said this
I love you you make me high If you love me back I'll never say goodbye I love you ain't no lie If you love me back we could paint the sky
But we ain't gotta get into it tonight Walk away if you afraid to try But tell me what you wanna do with your life Cuz on the day you die I'll be on your side
I know they call her lady luck But she still gotta pay me up She tryina front over a couple of bucks She can suck the straw that broke the camels hump
I bust my ass tryina touch some cash Now I gotta come a put up with this trash For what so I can eat these table scraps Get old and hope I ain't gotta pay more tax I started makin observations Lookin around the room watchin faces Complaints have replaced my patience I hate my life but I'm so complacent This time gonna make some changes Made my mind up to turn these pages I pulled out the key to the place Gave the bar to the devil then married the waitress
I love you you make me high If you love me back I'll never say goodbye I love you ain't no lie If you love me back could paint the sky
But we ain't gotta get into it tonight Walk away if you afraid to try But tell me what you wanna do with your life Until the day I die I'll be on your side
