Trouble and Pain

He said I'll go for a sailor on a far distant sea and I can't say it's likely I'll be true
But if you're gentle and kind though I've left you behind
Maybe I'll come sailing home to you
So his ship it set out from a West Coast port to go sailing on a foreign sea
I kept my aching heart numb with tequila and rum until he came sailing back to me
He's been the thorn in my side for longer than I'd like
Brought me nothing but trouble and pain
Still I've been patient as a bride, wish I had him by my side
Oh what I'd do just to see his face again
Now he says "I've a mind to go riding the rails, I have heard the call of the trains"
So that wayward love of mine took a southbound line far away from me over the plains
Alone late at night I would lie awake and hear that whistle blow
Drown the memory of him oh in whiskey and gin while all over the country he will go
He's been the thorn in my side for longer than I'd like
Brought me nothing but trouble and pain
Still I've been patient as a bride, wish I had him by my side
Oh what I'd do just to see his face again

Let me tell you 'bout this boy I met
I wanna make him be my little pet
Leather jacket and ripped blue jeans
All the other boys say he's mean
You know the one that I'm talking about, he gets a little moody when the moon is out
But I don't care, he always treats me right although we can't go out at night
It never mattered all that much to me
He wants to take me to the pictures today
We gotta go to a matinee
He says tonight I better stay inside
'Cos when the wolf comes out you gotta hide
Never gotta worry 'bout him chasing girls, in fact he'd rather be chasing squirrels
I don't care, he makes me feel all right although we can't go out at night
It never mattered all that much to me
I'm in love with a werewolf, baby
My ma and pa they call me crazy
I'm in love with a werewolf, baby
I love him so much it's gonna drive me crazy
You know the one that I'm talking about, he gets a little moody when the moon is out
But I don't care, he always treats me right although we can't go out at night
It never mattered all that much to me

Free Donuts

You live on whiskey and potatoes, oh the struggles of being poor
And all the nights you spent talking to me about depression and nuclear war
And all the books on your shelves, they only made me love you more
And I thought my heart was yours for good but that's not what it's for, baby
Stealing donuts from the supermarket is the easiest thing to do
I only wish it were so easy to steal the heart out of you

I wanna walk around with you
I wanna drink a nice microbrew
But I'm sitting here alone with a tallboy in my hand
Listening to the tape of your high school band
PBR just makes me miss you more
Whiskey left me puking on the bathroom floor
So I'll have another gin or maybe three or four
Until I don't care about you anymore
We went to see the Spits at some downtown bar
Held hands in the back of the car
And then I go out for a smoke and find you standing there alone
Talking to your girlfriend on a mobile phone
Rainier Beer just makes me miss you more
And I can't go to the Know because you're working the door
So I'll buy another 40 at the corner store
Pass out in the alley by a quarter to four
Walking home in the morning rain
I talked you out of taking that pile of cocaine
Sleepless nights and alcohol
Panic attacks and Adderall
PBR just makes me miss you more
Whiskey left me puking on the bathroom floor
So I'll have another gin or maybe three or four
Until I don't care about you anymore
