Well she breeze down through my hotel room Like an interstate truck in the rain. She said she cut her teeth on skinny Jim's there aint no scales mapping out I just wanna play She's spun me a really good story Never let the truth get in the way And that's the reason I'm still standing here today She said she came down from the north-west of town In a '63 Holden EJ With potato from Kentucky and a fresh bag of Luckys And a Bowie compilation tape She's spun me a real good story Never let the truth get in the way And that's the reason I'm still standing here The reason I'm still standing here The reason I'm still standing here today I left my brains in Hong Kong Left my wallet in a two dollar shirt And I remember every goddamn minute with you Just like a minute in a movie that hurts She spun me a real good story I never questioned anything that she said And that's the reason she's still standing here The reason she's still standing here The reason she's still standing here today I listened to a real good story Never let the truth get in the way And that's the reason I'm still standing here The reason she's still standing here The reason we're still standing here today
