Gas Station Flowers

I'll take you drunk I'll take you stoned I'll take you back long as you come home I'd rather go through hell than let you go Cause those gas station flowers are better than being alone Quick stop sack in your left hand Lucky Strikes hot on your breath A scratch off ticket and a 16 oz High Life can Bet you saw them in the checkout line Carnations $3.99 A cellophane wrapped afterthought But hey that's fine, at least they're mine I'll take you drunk I'll take you stoned I'll take you back long as you come home I'd rather go through hell than let you go Cause those gas station flowers are better than being alone They'll only last a couple days Just like the promises you break But when we're making love it makes the bad times seem okay You bring your demons home at night They're sitting pretty in a pipe But am I any better when I'm sleeping next to mine? Cause I'll take you drunk I'll take you stoned I'll take you back long as you come home I'd rather go through hell than let you go Those gas station flowers are better than being alone Being alone I could hide your shoes, I could hide your keys But I know that you'll always find a way to leave I'll be the welcome mat you need To wipe all that bullshit off your feet I know it's sick, I know it's weak But it's been too long, I'm in too deep You'll probably be the death of you And you'll be the death of me Cause I'll take you drunk I'll take you stoned I'll take you back long as you come home I'd rather go through hell than let you go Cause those gas station flowers are better than being alone Being alone Being alone
