You say I need the rest why don’t I go and see my sister way out west
That’s very thoughtful of you dear and I’m really touched by all your tenderness
But us women are suspicious things we know that men aren’t born with wings
What’s makin’ you so kind
Now I’m not smart but I’m not blind
Maybe I’m being foolish
‘Cause I haven’t heard you mention anybody’s name at all
How I wish I could be sure it’s me that turns you on
Each time you close your eyes
In a bar in Toledo, across from the depot,
On a bar stool she took off her ring.
I thought I’d get closer, so I walked on over,
I sat down and asked her her name.
When the drinks finally hit her, she said “I’m no quitter,
But I finally quit living on dreams.
Well my old shirt pocket’s filled with everything I own
An old toothbrush three cigarretes and a dirty four-tooth comb
My pocketbook is flat and I got no rattlin’ change
I came to this town with nothin’ looks like I’m leavin’ with same
