[Verse 1]
Come 20 days when you get married
I'll go wanderin' away
I don't think I can save face honestly
Enough to make it through the day
She likes to dream that I'm still there but

[Chorus]
Baby I am homeless, damn I love the moments
That got me right outta town
Living with my family, damn I was so happy
Why did I leave that hollow ground

[Verse 2]
Go tell the father his daughters pregnant
Yeah shes gon' have a baby boy
He'll come out drinking, cussing and stinking
Yeah that's our little bundle of joy

[Chorus]
Cause' daddy can't forget all his enemies and debts
Yeah they chase him round and give him sour dreams
Like tied up to a tree all my family and me
Just keep running round' in circles that we've left

[Chorus]
Don't you run away if your boy he wants to stay
I know he loves me more than you ever could
Something bout' your taste is such a sad thing to waste
If I could bottle it, you know I surely would
[Verse 4]
Please ask the doctor to stop the pain
Yeah my time in this world has expired
Please ask the doctor to stop the pain
Yeah my time in this world has expired
My only bed is all made up I am ready to be cast into the fire

[Chorus]
So sell my belongings all my clever drawings
Try to make a dollar from the grave
Give flowers to my friends I'll be with them until the end
And then my memory will always remain

[Outro]
Ain't life sweet, ain't life sweet
