Saltwater

Written by DOOMSDAY OUTLAW (Broughton Chanda Mills Poole Willis)

Verse 1

I was the guy that was scared to lose

I was so eager to please

I would do anything for my muse

It left me down on my knees

She knew a good thing when she had one

I was as good as it got

She used her smile like a loaded gun

And wasn't shy of the shot

And now the scales have fallen from my eyes

Chorus

Don't gimme your Saltwater honey

I ain't buying what you got to sell

I said, Saltwater honey

Ain't drinking from the poisoned well

Verse 2

Well time's a river a-rushing by

I was too scared to jump in

Instead of drowning in you my love

I found my solace in gin

The concrete boot of a love affair

Would draw me back to your bed

Juniper haze anaesthetic craze

And things would come to a head

And now the scales have fallen from my eyes

Chorus

Don't gimme your Saltwater honey

I ain't buying what you got to sell

I said, Saltwater honey

Ain't drinking from the poisoned well
