Killing You Didn't Work

I put my head back for Tennessee hoping and wishing that she'll like me
My eyes were crossed and the night was dark
But I knew my old lady'd be at 4th street park
Ten more hits and I was on the run down the boulevard in my hand a gun
And as she turned I said hello I pulled the damn trigger
Let the bullet go watched her hit the floor

I put my head back for Tennessee sitting and drinking til the cops got me
And as the cops pulled up I told myself goodbye
I knew that'd be the day I was gonna die
Before the bullets came I was sitting in mud
But by the time they hit it was a pool of blood
And in my grave I didn't regret that day that I took that old lady down to hell with me

I woke up over and I woke up hung and in my sleep I sung a dirty song
About a man who lost his cool who swam through life in a whiskey pool
He killed his woman and he killed her dead
I took her by the heart I made sure he said
I threw my head back for Tennessee hoping and wishing that she'd help me

I put my head back for Tennessee hoping and wishing that she'd like me
My eyes were crossed and the night was dark
But I knew my old lady'd be at 4th street park
Ten more hits and I was on the run down the boulevard in my hand a gun
And as she turned I said hello I pulled the damn trigger
Let the bullet go watched her hit the floor
