Adeline
Adeline leaned against a table
Barely able to stand
Couple empty wine bottles
Lit cigarette in her hand
She said, "It's three A.M.
Do we have to talk right now?
Something tells me you ain't gonna put this down.
Yeah I've been turning to the wine more these days,
What you want me to say?"
Call me a banjo
Cause I don't mind getting played
As long as it's your fingers
Pulling the strings
If I was a liar, I would not tell the truth
Cause there ain't nothing left here for me and you
Adeline slammed the screen door
Sat out on the front porch
Sunrise rolling in
I should have let her cool down
But I'm a fool now
And I always play to win
I said, "Ain't it like you to make a man feel small
Do you love anything like tobacco and alcohol?
I know life ain't easy and you had it rough.
I had enough."
Call me a banjo
Cause I don't mind getting played
As long as it's your fingers
Pulling the strings
If I was a liar, I would not tell the truth
Cause there ain't nothing left here for me and you
Barely able to stand
Couple empty wine bottles
Lit cigarette in her hand
She said, "It's three A.M.
Do we have to talk right now?
Something tells me you ain't gonna put this down.
Yeah I've been turning to the wine more these days,
What you want me to say?"
Call me a banjo
Cause I don't mind getting played
As long as it's your fingers
Pulling the strings
If I was a liar, I would not tell the truth
Cause there ain't nothing left here for me and you
Adeline slammed the screen door
Sat out on the front porch
Sunrise rolling in
I should have let her cool down
But I'm a fool now
And I always play to win
I said, "Ain't it like you to make a man feel small
Do you love anything like tobacco and alcohol?
I know life ain't easy and you had it rough.
I had enough."
Call me a banjo
Cause I don't mind getting played
As long as it's your fingers
Pulling the strings
If I was a liar, I would not tell the truth
Cause there ain't nothing left here for me and you
