lyrics

there's a stone in my shoe and cracks in my skin
a hole in the roof where the rains get'n in
I dig myself a hole with a shovel and a pick
ya gotta boil down the sauce 'till it gets nice and thick

scrub the top of the stove, get it nice and clean
she's tall and pretty, but she's shallow and mean
I got a stack of wood I carry around in my head
and an o'l ally cat left his fleas in my bed

I have to climb a ladder of tears through a hole in the sky
I had to let go of the steering wheel just to hold my head and cry
she broke every dish, through them hard against the wall
little David played his harp to get the love back in Saul

deep in the night she's lost in her dreams
sewn into the hem of her dress, all the money she'd ever need
busted down, she's caving in
right through the floor with the weight of all her sins

blow on the coals 'till they leap into flames
she's a wild, wild, woman in a world too tame
they slam their doors as she walks down the street
she's got golden shoes on ivory feet

she's calling you out
she's sizing you up
pouring out her love into your empty cup
the trees kneel down as you open up your eyes
you didn't even know this was the time of your life
