[Intro]
I’ll take you drunk, I’ll take you stoned
I’ll take you back, long as you come home
I’d rather go through Hell than let you go
‘Cause those gas station flowers are better than being alone

[Verse 1]
Quik Stop sack in your left hand
Lucky Strikes hot on your breath
A scratch-off ticket and a sixteen-ounce High Life can

[Verse 2]
Bet you saw them in the checkout line
Carnations, three-ninety-nine
A cellophane-wrapped afterthought
But hey, that’s fine, at least they’re mine

[Chorus]
I’ll take you drunk, I’ll take you stoned
I’ll take you back, long as you come home
I’d rather go through Hell than let you go
‘Cause those gas station flowers are better than being alone

[Verse 3]
They’ll only last a couple days
Just like the promises you break
But, when we’re making love it makes the bad times seem okay
[Verse 4]
You bring your demons home at night
They’re sitting pretty in a pipe
But am I any better when I’m sleeping next to mine?

[Chorus]
‘Cause I’ll take you drunk, I’ll take you stoned
I’ll take you back, long as you come home
I’d rather go through Hell than let you go
Those gas station flowers are better than being alone
Being alone

[Bridge]
I could hide your shoes, I could hide your keys
But, I know that you’ll always find a way to leave
I’ll be the welcome mat you need, to wipe all that bullshit off your feet

[Verse 5]
I know it’s sick, I know it’s weak
But, it’s been too long
I’m in too deep
You’ll probably be the death of you, and you’ll be the death of me

[Chorus]
‘Cause I’ll take you drunk, I’ll take you stoned
I’ll take you back, long as you come home
I’d rather go through Hell than let you go
‘Cause those gas station flowers are better than being alone
Being alone
[Outro]
Being alone
