Discordant accordions and grumbling beauties
Middle-aged groupies, but no tooty-fruities
Cross-splits and headaches, magicians and clarinets
Heart palpitations and yellow broken nails
Well the fear is near
I could smell it on my breath
I'll take any kind of woman
I'll drink to any lay
When I'm drunk, I'm so easy
You can buy me with whiskey
Take off my clothes
And kiss with your hips
Go all night long
Can go all night long
When the morning comes,
And I look in your eyes
You'll never
You'll never be her
No shame in this game, no woman could own me
There's no one-and-only
Don't care, no one phones me
The bitterness aches
And there's no fairy cakes
I'll take what I can
I'll leave no regrets
Well you may be thinking that I'm just a misery
But no one compares to my sweet lady
I loved her, I loved her; they took her away
The gentleman died when he lost his bride
When I'm drunk, I'm so easy
You can buy me with whiskey
Take off my clothes
And kiss with your hips
Go all night long
Can go all night long
When the morning comes,
And I look in your eyes
You'll never
You'll never be her
Her mother is dead, and her father a drunkard
She took after daddy, she lived at the bar
She served her father, she cooked and she cleaned
But this is no life for a girl of nineteen
So I took her away, We lived upon love
We laughed in the sun, and we sang to the moon
We talked of forever as I held out a ring
Said I know it's not gold, but it does the same thing
We'll get married tomorrow
There'll be no more sorrow
We'll make our own lives
And we'll never look back...
But the morning came, and took her away
I searched all over town, 'til I came to the tracks
Police everywhere
Bloodstained golden hair
They knew who I was
And they said, "I am so sorry"
When I'm drunk, I'm so easy
You can buy me with whiskey
Take off my clothes
And kiss with your hips
Go all night long
Can go all night long
When the morning comes,
And I look in your eyes
You'll never
You'll never be her
When I'm drunk, I'm so easy
You can buy me with whiskey
Take off my clothes
And kiss with your hips
Go all night long
Can go all night long
When the morning comes,
And I look in your eyes
You'll never
You'll never be her
