The Lodger

I don't know why I even bother Don't know what I ever saw in you I guess in my heart you were a lodger That left me broken down and beat and used I am not a preacher, I'm the choir And yes I've payed my fairest share of dues It takes a lot of sticks to built a fire But just one day of rain to see if through Take me to the border gonna leave it all behind Lord it's been a long time since I had a piece of mind Take me to the Southern town where all the weather is fine Lord it's been a while now since he ain't been on my mind Candy coat your heart with bits of cocaine Maybe then you'll feel a thing or two Sleep around the midnight town till morning Wake up knowing that the jokes on you The saddest thing of all is the inside The inside of an empty glass of wine Cause' even though the glass is clear and shining All I see's this empty heart of mine Take me to the border gonna leave it all behind Lord it's been a long time since I had a piece of mind Take me to the Southern town where all the weather is fine Lord it's been a while now since he ain't been on my mind Take me to the border gonna leave it all behind Lord it's been a long time since I had a piece of mind Take me to the Southern town where all the weather is fine Lord it's been a while now since he ain't been on my mind Take me to the border gonna leave it all behind Lord it's been a long time since I had a piece of mind Take me to the Southern town where all the weather is fine Lord it's been a while now since he ain't been on my mind
