the pomato song

I guess we had a time.
A meal of just soup and bread.
You said you'd be a pomegranate
I'd be a tomato instead.

I opened up the wine
with a screwdriver from the shed.
I was a hero for just one moment
andyou were the Lady in Red.

I listened to the rain
as we lay in your mother's bed.
I didn't know if you were sleeping
but I couldn't clear my head.

I drove 200 miles
Just to see an old friend
and then drank up all of your father's whiskey
and ruined it all in the end.

"Apology accepted."
This is all you would say
"Apology accepted."
Maybe I'll get another chance someday.

nashville

All the people I owe money to:
I don't owe you no more
and the people I been workin for
Will have to find another whore
I'm gonna leave it all behind
and I don't care if its in vain

'Cause I been here too long, honey.
In the wanin' summer I'll be gone.

I ain't takin too much with me
Just this guitar and a pack.
Got a buddy that went to Austin once and never did come back.
I ain't sayin I'm like him, I don't know just where I'm bound

But I been here too long honey.
I'll be leavin when the autumn comes around.
