lyrics

Thank God she said he’s got a weak left hook
Lit a cigarette, gave a little look
I hope he’s not home when I got there
If he’s home I’ll kill him, I’ll kill him I swear

I just got this dog last week
He’s got so much goddamned energy
And I can’t walk him, I gotta go to work
I hope the landlord doesn’t find out

‘Cause I’ve lived in three different towns
Since January and it’s wearing me down
I just gotta find a place I can stay
And a man that’ll treat me okay
A little yard for the dog to run
It’s been hard trying to meet someone

I’ve got a little boy but he lives with is dad
Things were so good, before they went bad
I miss him sometimes, it feels like dying
But I don’t somehow I must be born to survive

And I wish that I could keep him but it’s better for him there
It’s hard for me to give him
The right kind of care he needs
That’s hard for me

‘Cause I’ve lived in three different towns
Since January and it’s wearing me down
I just gotta find a place I can stay
A place he could come visit someday
If his dad says that it’s alright
It’s gonna be a hell of a fight

I’ve been sitting in this parking lot
Just sitting and thinking since seven o’clock
I hate the thought of leaving, it’s more than I can bear
But I’ve wasted so much time, more than I can spare

If my baby doesn’t want me than that’s all I need to know
I know just how to pack my things and go
I wish that I could stay here, just the way I am
I wish that I could settle but I don’t think I can

‘Cuz I’ve lived in three different towns
Since January and it’s wearing me down
I just gotta find a place I can stay

about

Campbell Woods

Campbell Woods pays attention.

He sings soft songs about hard luck. Writing songs rooted in the tradition of Townes Van Zandt, his style is tried and true, but he’s no dinosaur. You’ve heard it all before, but not like this. ... more
