Lately, I've been cruel to my baby She asks if I'm hers And I only say maybe Playin the fool Who knows nothing about love I act like I doubt it But I'm nothing without it Oooh And if i should leave you Darlin' you'd know That I'm chasin the only game in town That's running itself right back into the ground And I won't be too old When the story is told Of a man, who was wrong Cuz I know You belong in the church yard Thowing flowers Writing home on a postcard And its okay, to belong to the old ties Making crochet, tying knots in the clothesline Oooh And if I should leave you Darlin' you'd know That I'm chasin the only game in town That's running itself right back into the ground And I won't be too old When my story is told Of a man, who was wrong Cuz he barks Like a hound dog in moon light Yes he barks On and on but he don't bite Well it don't pay To stand up to the old days It's the cowards Who are fighting the good life Oooh And if I should leave you Darlin' you'd know That, on that day When I'm not around I must be asleep like a stone in the ground And I'll be a hundred years old When my story is told Of a man who was wrong My soul breaks And my heart stops its beating And my body Lies wounded and bleeding When the vultures Start in on their feeding And all of my seconds Stop their constant repeating Oooh And if I should leave you, Where would I go? There's only on other bed in this town It sits like a tree in a hole in the ground I'll be a hundred years gone But the story goes on Of a man, who was wrong I'll be a hundred years gone And the story goes on Of a man, who was wrong
