There's no hope for myself trying to be a good pearl Tried to walk the line and see the light But as the sun sets, the lonelier I get Tried to put my thoughts down Keep my hands in my pockets Not to make a sound or go down town Just cocaine and running and howling all night long A tango with hell, but it sure don't matter none 'Cause my baby left me in 2001 and I Haven't seen the sun since he's been gone All I do is watch the moon Nothing's right it's all messed up I'm lonely and I'm grieving My conscience hallelujah drives me to thinking And all the good in me to leaving Tried to put my thoughts down Keep my hands in my pockets Not to make a sound For the blue and red down town 'Cause my baby left me in 2001 and I Haven't seen the sun since he's been gone All I do is watch the moon
