Hayes Carll - The Lovin' Cup lyrics

rate me

I got all night to remember you by

I got half-packed bag and a wonderin' eye

Gonna love you baby till the day I die

Don't worry

It's just sometimes people get a little fed up

Tired of not drinkin' from the lovin' cup

Gotta walk on my own like a little bitty pup and hurry

Yeah, it seem like every time I give my heart

A couple good years and the bullshit starts

I did my best honey, played my part, it's over

Now I'm sittin' cross-legged in a heartache tree

Knowin' damn well you ain't a' thinking about me

Just a sad reminder of a used to be, I'm gone

And we go down, down, down, down, down

Love just left this town

If I had a dream, I guess I sold it

If I had a secret, Lord, I told it

This here hand I never thought I'd fold it darlin'

Well, I paid my dues and I served my time

We had a good tune but we never could rhyme

Put up a buck just to get back a dime, its gone

I remember a time when the mood was right

And you'd say go and we'd go all night

Now it's bitch, and moan, and fuss, and fight, I'm tired babe

If you're even in trouble honey, I'll be there

But I'd rather be one than a mournful pair

The blind can see that you dont care, I'm gone

And we go down, down, down, down, down

Love just left town

Oh, what have I done?

I can't believe these things I said

I let a couple bad years get to my head

Without your love, I'd be old and dead, I'm sorry

It's getting hard to handle that lonesome sound

It's goodbye trouble, I'm a' homeward bound

You're the only good thing this old boy's found,

I'm home

And we go down, down, down, down, down

Love is back in town

And we go down, down, down, down, down

The one good thing I found
