I've got five minutes to sneak a cigarette |
| [00:32.37] |
Five minutes to myself |
| [00:37.74] |
Back behind the screen door of Andy's luncheonette |
| [00:43.43] |
And I ain't got time to worry 'bout my health |
| [00:51.37] |
My boss Andy says I smoke myself to death |
| [00:57.56] |
Andy he reminds me some of you |
| [01:03.99] |
Back when you were Romeo and I was Juliet |
| [01:09.93] |
West Texas Capulet and Montague |
| [01:14.24] |
. |
| [01:17.68] |
Now I don't think too much about you anymore |
| [01:25.18] |
We weren't much more than kids |
| [01:29.68] |
It was nearly twenty years ago |
| [01:33.55] |
I shut and locked that door |
| [01:37.93] |
Now I've got five minutes |
| [01:43.49] |
Not much time to reminisce |
| [01:46.30] |
. |
| [01:59.58] |
Most nights I come home from work and I pour a glass of wine |
| [02:05.82] |
Sometimes it's three or four before I stop |
| [02:13.01] |
And Jessie makes a sandwich if I sleep through suppertime |
| [02:19.14] |
And she leaves me on the couch to sleep it off |
| [02:26.73] |
Now Jessie just turned 17 and she's wild as she can be |
| [02:33.98] |
And there ain't nothin' I can do |
| [02:39.56] |
Last weekend she ran off to meet a boy in Tennessee |
| [02:47.93] |
Just like I used to run to you |
| [02:51.68] |
. |
| [02:53.99] |
I gave her hell when she came home this afternoon |
| [03:01.12] |
Mascara runnin' down her face |
| [03:06.62] |
Seems like history repeats itself, |
| [03:10.68] |
and it ain't up to you |
| [03:15.18] |
And in five minutes |
| [03:21.37] |
Your whole life can change |
| [03:23.81] |
. |
| [03:36.72] |
Andy he's good to me, |
| [03:39.34] |
and I can see it in his eyes |
| [03:44.65] |
He'd love to take your place |
| [03:50.34] |
But somethin' deep inside me |
| [03:53.78] |
just withers up and dies |
| [03:56.40] |
To make love to him |
| [03:58.72] |
and only see your face |
| [04:00.97] |
. |
| [04:04.21] |
Somehow I've let myself go gently down the stream |
| [04:11.47] |
A fine example I have set |
| [04:16.66] |
Between the working and the livin' |
| [04:20.53] |
and the ghosts that haunt my dreams |
| [04:25.77] |
I've got five minutes |
| [04:30.72] |
and I'm gonna smoke this cigarette |
| [04:33.84] |
