Lyrics

A-one, two, a-one, two If there's one thing I can't stand It's this bar and this cover band Trying to fake their way through "Castles Made of Sand" Well, that's one thing I can't stand If there's one thing I can't take It's the sound that a woman makes About five seconds after her heart begins to break Well, that's one thing I can't take She should be home by now, but she ain't And I should've gone by now but I can't 'Cause one of my friends has taken her in and given her codeine One of my friends has taken her in and given her codeine Them eyes as big as stars When I saw you behind the bar I guess that's the way to keep on smiling where you are But girl, them eyes as big as stars It sounds funny when you say my name It's like you're chewing on a foreign thing And you won't get to sleep 'till dawn if it don't rain It sounds so funny when you say my name You oughta come home tonight, but you won't I wish we knew how to fight, but we don't One of your friends has taken you in and given you codeine One of your friends has taken you in and given you codeine Darlin', I'm not one to judge But if I was then I'd say you don't look so good Got no answers of my own But with you gone, this place looks bigger than it should If there's two things that I hate It's having to cook and trying to date Busting ass all day to play "hurry up and wait" That's a few things that I hate If I call when I ain't drunk This old boat'll still be sunk 'Cause one of my friends has taken her in and given her codeine One of my friends has taken her in and given her codeine One of my friends has taken her in and given her codeine One of my friends has taken her in and given her codeine One of my friends has taken her in and given her codeine One of my friends has taken her in and given her codeine
