| Another gin and tonic, please Do you think I can bum a smoke? Tell me that youve no disease Or at least that nothings broke You know, Ive never seen you in this place Do you think I have a pretty face? And if you want to be alone, well thats alright with me And if you want to take me home, well thats alright with me Momma worked the double shift At the factory, mining salt Was thirteen when I saw them drift Daddy said, its not your fault She doesnt mean all of those horrible things Someday soon, youll fly away on golden wings Hey, if you want to be alone, well thats alright with me But if you want to take me home, well thats alright with me They fought about who would keep me Then betrayed me with a kiss The next time they would both see me Bandages on both my wrists Packed up my memories on a Greyhound heading west It feels good to get it off my chest. And if you want to be alone, well thats alright with me And if you want to take me home, well thats alright with me Like a ship without a rudder Im a kite without a string Always landing in the gutter So much for my golden wings Lord, if youre out there, I could sure use a little hope Im at the end of my rope. But if you want to be alone, Lord, I sure understand And if you want to take me home, please take me by the hand Yeah, if you want to be alone, well thats alright with me Hey, bartender another gin and tonic, please. | |
