Car Parts and Linens

You sit and watch the pines sway, rainstorm a-comin' Dreaming on the front porch watching the dogs come home Heavy on your mind weigh the car parts and linens You're thinking about the old days when they were young Your teeth are coffee stained, you've got to admit You're staying awake just a little bit Your lips are chapped and dry, kissing your girl She don't give a damn As long as she's kissing her man Holding your hand in her hand Doing the best she can You say you want to live a long life, a long life of living Rocking on the front porch 'til the dogs come home You say you want to give her something you've never given And now you're waking up again to realize That waking up again doesn't make you wise Your teeth are coffee stained and you're singing the blues But she can hear your voice Over the evening news Sing anything you choose You've only got time to lose Your teeth are coffee stained, you've got to admit You're staying awake just a little bit Your lips are chapped and dry, kissing your girl She don't give a damn Long as she's kissing her man Holding her hand in your hand
