Turnpike Troubadours - Down On Washington lyrics

rate me

Well you’re standing there

You Say life ain’t fair

Why don’t ya tell me something that I don’t know

Oh and man I’m sunk

Red faced and drunk

But there’s a reason I stayed up all night and begged you not to go

(Chorus)

Here I fear we've found ourselves a sticky situation.

It's an awkward occupation disregarding right from wrong.

And you were down on Washington, dancing like the devil.

Oh and I am just a fool, but I have loved you all along

Well the everyday, it gets in the way

Of all the things, that we could be

Don’t ya understand, well I’m an honest man

But I would steal you in a heartbeat if the choice were up to me

(Chorus)

Well what happens little baby when I blow this town and ain’t nobody like you

Got a brand new high and lonesome, It’s a bad dream comin’ true.

Oh what’s a poor boy to do

(Chorus)

Yea well I am just a fool, but I have loved you all along.
