Turnpike Troubadours - Good Lord Lorrie lyrics

rate me

Lorrie lit a cigarette and smiled and waved the smoke out of her face

With her black hair brown from the summer sun, green eyes looked around the place

Then she told me that she loved me and I grinned and grabbed her hand and said I know

Lets get from here now darlin' if we're goin' lets go on and go

Well Lorrie said her family used to have a little money and they still act like they do

But your daddy don't think I'm fit to sit in the same room with you

And if I ever set foot in Sevier County well your brother said he'd break my jaw

Here I stand with a dark haired daughter of southwest Arkansas

Chorus:

And I've been learnin' that believin' and that barely breakin' even

It's just a part of life for you and me

And I've been livin' with the loneliness, it's got down in my bones I guess

It's just another phase of being free

And I've been learnin' how to lose a thing I never laid a hand on all along

Well good lord Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong

Well good lord Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong

La, da, da, da, da, da ,da ,da ,da ,da ,da

Well D-Queens dry so I bought us both a bottle in downtown Broken Bow

Lorries got a buddy with a double wide trailer they were shaking dominoes

And I had good intentions 'til I had too many, I was stupid I suppose

You better put a little money where your mouth is boy and try to keep it closed

Chorus

Well Lorrie said I wonder what we ever went through all this trouble for

You ain't half of who I thought you was and this ain't fun no more

And her words cut clean through drunk and dark and dimmin' doorway light

Well I've had all I can handle, hope you're happy now, goodnight

Guess her folks were right, guess her folks were right

Mhmmm

Well goodnight Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong

Well goodnight Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong

La, da, da, da, da, da ,da ,da ,da ,da ,da
