Shakey Graves - Oh My Poison

I feel so lonesome
since I lost my someone
with this government paycheck
I’m gonna buy a new one
and sit right here
with my lukewarm
just a licking my wounds
from ear to ear.

So the old folk warned
from the year before
keeps a thumb in my street
climbing in my backseat.
So what if I lay
down my head till one day
just lift my bones
from coast to coast.

Chorus:
Oh my poison
keeps traveling as you grin from ear to ear
I'd like to stick around but I sure can't wake up here
oh my poison, oh
oh my poison, oh

So the sun shed slow
on the musty water
so buy some real estate
gather some daughters
teach em all about mercy
keep em all thirsty
love sure is blind
from time to time.

Chorus:
Oh my poison
keeps traveling as you grin from ear to ear
I'd like to stick around but I sure can't wake up here
oh my poison, oh
oh my poison, oh
