Personal Jinx

Calling out a personal jinx

Now you know you owe me a soda

Or at least a kiss and I'll let it go

Can't let it go

Another bullet straight to the heart

Now you're feeding me to the fishes

Thinking I won't sink the boat

But I'll sink the boat

And I know, by the way, you're a halfway crook

Damn near the best one that I've seen

Oh, and I played the spade and I made you look

So when the sheriff shows up, who's he gon' believe

When I say it was you and you say it was me?

Calling out a personal jinx

Everybody put your guns down

Have a swear, I'll knock it off, knock it off

I'll pull the plug

You're talking about settling down

I was never one for sitting

And for you, it's said and done, said and done

But I'm on the run

And I know, by the way, you're a halfway crook

Damn near the best one that I've seen

Oh, and I played the spade and I made you look

So when the sheriff shows up, who's he gon' believe?

It's a schoolyard fight blown to smithereens

Got mud on our hands, ain't none of us clean

If you say it was you, then I'll say it was me

A lot can happen in a game of do or die

You see straight through all the love I try to hide from you

I'm not well practiced in the art of compromise

So when the sheriff shows up, who's he gon' believe?

At the schoolyard fight, blown to smithereens

Got mud on our hands, ain't none of us clean

But we could wash up and agree to disagree

It's a double cherry Coke, it's a personal jinx

'Cause I forgive you and you forgive me
