String of Lies
Lyrics:
Too much whiskey and not enough water,
A bathtub full of gin.
I
kicked in every door in Memphis,
Slapped every honkeytonk woman on
the chin.
There is a can of gasoline on the kitchen table,
A
pistol in the Chevrolet.
I hopped over every track in New Orleans,
Got an overnight to Californ-i-a.
A string of lies can be worn
like a diamond necklace,
Like ring of smoke on your hand.
A bed of
nails through a storm to spend the night on,
Howling like a fiddle in
a band.
Now give me one of them crappy ghettos,
A billy club
to serenade.
We're gonna make a mess of Coney Island
Gambling on
credit and faith.
Too much whiskey and not enough water,
A
bathtub full of gin.
I kicked in every door in Memphis,
Slapped
every honkeytonk woman on the chin.
