My Widow

Love songs only bring me down

As depressing as her wedding gown

Folded in the corner with a locket that he bought her

it feels like he's still around

If the sky isn't blue I never know what to do

I always feel the need to leave town

This years been tough here in Cedar Neck Bluff

my front door has got 3 chains

I worry about this and I worry about that

I never get to sing in the rain

But there's always one

bullet left in the gun

Oh yes there's always one

The fortune-teller she was right

How I wish my heart could change

It makes me shiver in the night like a mouse in a fight

I'm better off trying to love the pain

So I run up my card until I fall off the bar

and my girlfriend starts to feel ashamed

It ain't right but in the night while she sleeps she likes to fight

and I wake up all black and blue

She says to tie her up I say don't worry love

I was born restless too

And there's always one

bullet left in the gun

Oh yes there's always one

bullet left in the gun

Oh yes there's always one

I'm sorry to say that I'm no help

I'm sorry to say he is gone

I'm sorry to say you've lost me too

Now she's getting ready to go

Holding a letter and a long stem rose

I zip her dress in the back as she paints her eyes black

wipes the lipstick from her teeth real slow

She always comes back a mess with mascara on her dress

and all the grace of a new widow

If I give a little give a little give a little more

can I ever make her feel the same?

She worries about this and she worries about that

before the war she used to sing in the rain

But there's always one

bullet left in the gun

Oh yes there's always one

bullet left in the gun

Oh yes there's always one
