Never had nobody like you,
Keep me like a well fed mule,
Make me sing the jailbird blues,
Spending our time on hold,
Raving on just to save our souls,
Wasting our best years,
Just searching for some days of old,
Keeping my phone in use,
Trying hard to tell the truth,
Never figured out what was in it for you,
And leaving no stone unturned,
That’s no way to run away from hurt,
You were dying of thirst,
And you filled your cup with a lack of bad news,
The fisherman makes his plans,
Casts his net among the other deft hands,
But to catch too soon only leaves him room,
For wild speculation on all the others he’d lose,
Never had nobody but you,
I’ll admit to playing the kid,
Tried my best to keep it hid,
But i guess my best is hit and miss,
And i know i get angry too,
You say the weather is what you choose,
Never even occured to me,
I might prefer to be with the down and out blues,
The salesman extends his hand,
Tries his best lines out for something to land,
Your latest tunes were just an outro to,
All of your arrogant beginners blues,
Never had so little to lose,
Time I’ve spent wondering on what could’ve been,
But i’ll never defend that what has gone is what we’re in,
What we’re in,
Never thought that I could win
