Well she came into my doorway like a whirlwind
Dragging mud and muck across my floor
She sat down in the chair where I was sitting
Picked up my guitar and made a chord
And she said, "your loves like Tennessee Tobacco
And it's killing me and all I want it more
Your hearts a lonely little chapel
But I love it's dusty pews and creaky floors"
And she said, "Babe, did you forget today is Friday?
And you promised that you'd take me to a show"
I said, "I swear the TV said that it was Monday"
And she kicked my shin and walked right out the door
She took my car and drove down to the legion
Grinding all the gears as she drove
She said, "the old guys there know how to treat a lady
And by the way your car got towed"
I said, "Your loves like Tennessee Tobacco
And it's killing me and all I want is more
Your hearts a lonely little chapel
But I love it's dusty pews and creaky floors"
Well I try my best and I swear I do
And my best is all I know
And I'll never leave this one horse town
If you decide to hang around
Well I found her in the morning at the table
Hungover and staring at her spoon
And I tried to make some cakes on the griddle
She just laughed and sang her little tune
And she said, "your loves like Tennessee Tobacco
And it's killing me and all I want it more
Your hearts a lonely little chapel
But I love it's dusty pews and creaky floors"
I said, "Your loves like Tennessee Tobasco
And it's killing me and all I want is more
Your hearts a lonely little chapel
But I love it's dusty pews and creaky floors"
