Don’t bother calling up my telephone We both know how this night ends Just shut the light and put a record on It won’t be long 'til I make dark your trap house door again And stroll in with those rings around my eyes How I do declare darlin’ you’re a sight Shake off just a little of the cold You know I never meant to grow so old
I’m a first place loser, last place friend Roadhouse preacher 'til stage lights dim And turn me out into the dark again Don’t worry if I don’t call All these part time lovers and full time fools Got me singing the deadman’s blues Fumblin’ around without a thing to lose Like I don’t want it all Hey, I don’t want it all
There ain’t no sense in feeling like I do When all I want's at odds with wanting you Girl, I never meant to go so far And make a dagger from your tears and broken heart It’s the perfect tool to tear myself apart
I’m a first place loser, last place friend Roadhouse preacher 'til stage lights dim And turn me out into the dark again Don’t worry if I don’t call All these part time lovers and full time fools Got me singing the deadman’s blues Fumblin’ around without a thing to lose Like I don’t want it all Hell, I don’t want it all
I’m a first place loser, last place friend Roadhouse preacher 'til stage lights dim And turn me out into the dark again Don’t worry if I don’t call All these part time lovers and full time fools Got me singing the deadman’s blues Fumblin’ around without a thing to lose Like I don’t want it all Hell, I don’t want it all
Don’t bother calling up my telephone We both know how this night ends
