Paul Cauthen
Lose a Little
[Verse 1]
I got dents in my door
A damaged heart and a broken mind
I always seem to find
The dark side of Saturday night
Behind the bar on the bus
There ain't too many you can trust
[Verse 2]
I got rips in my clothes
Tears in my soul from the inside
I always try and hide
Behind the 'deer in headlights'
It's a 'better you than me' eulogy
A deep dark hole from the tower ivory
[Chorus]
Lose a little bit of your dignity
Lose a little bit of yourself
Lost a little bit of your upbringing
And use somebody else
Abuse every bit of your beauty
To keep 'em all under your spell
Like a heart wants love
And pain wants drugs
And pennies want wishing wells
[Verse 2]
[?] of steel playing for keeps
And an inch for a mile of hypocrisy
They smile for a while with their tongue in cheek
We'll dance for the devil in Tennessee
[Chorus]
Lose a little bit of your dignity
Lose a little bit of yourself
Lost a little bit of your upbringing
And use somebody else
Abuse every bit of your beauty
To keep 'em all under your spell
Like a heart wants love
And pain wants drugs
And pennies want wishing wells
[Bridge]
Tennessee ain't home to me
But home never wished me well
Tennessee ain't home to me
But home never wished me well
[Chorus]
Lose a little bit of your dignity
Lose a little bit of yourself
Lost a little bit of your upbringing
And use somebody else
Abuse every bit of your beauty
To keep 'em all under your spell
Like a heart wants love
And pain wants drugs
And pennies want wishing wells
[Outro]
Like a heart wants love
And pain wants drugs
And pennies want wishing wells
Like a heart wants love
And pain wants drugs
And pennies want wishing wells
