Turnpike Troubadours - Good Lord Lorrie lyrics

Artist: Turnpike Troubadours

album: Goodbye Normal Street


Lorrie lit a cigarette and smiled and waved the smoke out of her face
With her black hair brown from the summer sun
Green eyes looked around the place
And she told me that she loved me
And I grinned and grabbed her hand and said, "I know"
Let's get from here, now darling if we're going, let's go on and go

Well, Lorrie said her family used to have a little money
And they still act like they do
Well, your daddy don't think I'm fit to sit in the same room with you
And if I ever set foot in Sevier county, well your brother said he'd break my jaw
And here I sit with the dark haired daughter of Southwest Arkansas
And I've been learning that believing and that barely breaking even
It's just a part of life for you and me
And I've been living with the loneliness, it's got down in my bones I guess
It's just another phase of being free
And I've been learning how to lose a thing I never laid a hand on all along
Well good lord Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong
Well good lord Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong

Well D-Queens dry so I bought us both a bottle in downtown Broken Bow
Lorries got a buddy with a double wide trailer they were shaking dominoes
And I had good intentions 'til I had too many, I was stupid I suppose
You better put a little money where your mouth is boy and try to keep it closed
And I've been learning that believing and that barely breaking even
It's just a part of life for you and me
And I've been living with the loneliness, it's got down in my bones I guess
It's just another phase of being free
And I've been learning how to lose a thing I never laid a hand on all along
Well good lord Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong
Well good lord Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong

Well Lorrie said I wonder what we ever went through all this trouble for
You ain't half of who I thought you was and this ain't fun no more
And her words cut clean through drunk and dark and dimmin' doorway light
Well I've had all I can handle, hope you're happy now, goodnight
Guess her folks were right, guess her folks were right
Mhmmm

And I've been learning that believing and that barely breaking even
It's just a part of life for you and me
And I've been living with the loneliness, it's got down in my bones I guess
It's just another phase of being free
And I've been learning how to lose a thing I never laid a hand on all along
Well good lord Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong
Well good lord Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong
